...there are changes that are bound to happen. Whether it be starting a new job, moving away, or going to school. Change can be exciting, but it can also be very frightening. The beauty and curse about change, is that you don’t know what is going to happen next. The book Who Moved My Cheese illustrates this concept very well, and I learned many things from this story that I can apply towards myself. I have recently had two new changes in my life. I have moved away from home and I have started college. Both of these changes are interconnected, since I moved away for college, but that doesn’t make them any easier. At first I was nervous about this new change, and I still am a little bit. Everything was essentially handed to me at home and high school was never a challenge for me. Now I have to remember to go grocery shopping, do dishes, pay bills, and keep up with school work at the same time. However, I knew this was something that I had to do, and it was, deep down, something I really wanted to do. After reading this story I think one of the biggest lessons that I could have utilized for myself, for this change, was the preparation. Hem and Haw were not ready to move on when their cheese ran out and I was not ready either. They kept going back to the station each day with the mindset that the cheese would be there forever, while I kept going home each day with the mindset that I had plenty of time to worry about moving later. I should not have been shocked by the change and neither...

...Changes in Adulthood Corina Donahue BSHS/342 November 4, 2012 Alma Carpio Changes in Adulthood My personal philosophies on changes throughout adulthood are that as you grow you learn, as I have gone through my adult life I have changed as I learned things.

I was going to stay with this an no matter what he belittled me, he beat me, but hey I am an adult he is an adult no one would do this to me if I did not deserve it right? Well I was wrong and it took me a few years to learn that and thank god I survived those years and that he never hurt our child.

...realize the world did not expect perfection out of me. Once I did, however, I then had trouble learning that I should not expect perfection out of myself. To a degree, I still haven’t learned. My first memory of the intense shame I feel every time I make a mistake occurred in second grade. In our social studies class, we learned about Christopher Columbus, we played a game in which everyone sat on the carpet and the teacher asked questions about the facts we had learned about him. When a student answered a question correctly, he or she would return to sit at their desk. Games like this one, where I could demonstrate my knowledge to everyone in the room, absolutely delighted me. The teacher kept asking questions, and of course I knew all the answers. She...

...dramatic change in character over the course of the book. At first, he would not dare see his young daughter get married yet. But he changed and decided that if she did not marry, she would be disowned. It is very confusing how this happens, because it is such a dramatic change in such a short period of time. At first, Capulet thinks that Juliet isn’t ready for marriage. For he believes that she is too young, innocent and immature. But saying o'er what I have said before. My child is yet a stranger in the world. She hath not seen the change of fourteen years. Let two more summers wither in their pride Ere we may think her ripe to be a bride. In this passage from Act I, Scene 2, Capulet tells Paris that his daughter is only thirteen years old, and not yet ready to be a bride. He tells him to wait two more summers until she’s fully ready to be wed. This shows the caring, fatherly side of Capulet. It shows through, because he is protecting his only child from escaping her childhood too early, and growing up too fast. He truly loves Juliet. Later in the story, in Act III, Scene 5, his point of view on this topic completely changes. He then concludes that if Juliet does not wed, she will be punished. “I’ll not wed,” “I cannot love,” “I am too young,” “I pray you, pardon me.”— But, an you will not wed, I’ll pardon you. Graze where you will, you shall not house with me. Look to ’t, think on ’t, I do not...

...IFRS coming to India.......Get Ready!!! Hello Friends and a very warm Good Afternoon to all of you…I am Siddharth Jain from Indore and consider it a proud privilege to be given an opportunity to present my views on one of my favorite topics, a topic as hot as Sheela ki Jawani….the topic being IFRS-Opportunities & Challenges. “He who rejects change is the architect of decay. The only human institution which rejects progress is the cemetery.” These famous words of Harold Wilson, a brilliant economist and a former British Prime Minister, are apt enough to demonstrate the significance of not only adopting a change…but adapting to it. International Financial Reporting Standards, The IFRS would be mandatory for Indian companies from 1st April 2011. All members and Future Members of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) need to be fully aware of the changes in the accounting standards to converge with IFRS and its implication on the financial reporting, Treasury Management, Business valuation, Commercial arrangements, Managerial compensation, Mergers and Acquisition…and I can go on & on. Are you Aware..? The International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) are increasingly being recognised as Global Reporting Standards. More than 130 countries including European Union, Australia, New Zealand, China and Russia currently require or permit the use of IFRSs in their countries. Nations such as Canada & Japan, have announced their intention to adopt IFRSs...

...Why Am I Ready For College Dohnavyn LeDuff John F. Kennedy Going to college has always been a dream to me. My parents have always said "to do well in school because if you do a good job in college you'll have an easier job of getting into college". I feel I am ready for college because I work hard and when I want something bad I put my all into it. My life isn't one of those struggling lives me and my family have for the most part had a good household. I grew up in a happy house hold were there were few problems. I had tried to take my mom’s advice of getting good grades and trying to be the best I could be but for some reason when I hit high school all of that changed. I wanted to be cool and well liked and the only way I felt I could do that was to lower my grades ditch class and hang with bad kids who thought they were "cool". I struggled for a long time I didn't learn my lesson even after to going to therapy. Being cool and popular was my main. Priority. When I got a little clue it was too late my mom took me out of Santiago and I transferred to a school called river springs during my sophomore year. I extremely hated that school and did everything I could to leave. Likewise though my grades at that school were actually good I had a 3.0 for first semester and a 2.9 second semester. My time came through for me to leave that school. I asked my mom if I could transfer to john f. Kennedy she told me yes so I sent an application and I was accepted. It was a new school...

... In life we have a purpose that sometimes seems so hard to figure out. Have you ever questioned how life could be different for you and your family if you had made different choices? Well, I have. I have been bless with two beautiful children who look up to me. I think attending college is the right decision, so they can be proud to walk in my footsteps. I am now ready to attend college again to be a role model for my children, to gain personal satisfaction, and to establish a stable career. Being a role model to my children is very important to me. I want to instill in them things the world will not teach them. I want to share positive values with my children. I would like for my children to understand the importance of self-respect and self-esteem. In life you have to treat people how you want to be treated, that’s why I carry myself in a respectful way. I model traits such as showing respect, being honest, kind, reliable, having tolerance and doing without expecting a reward. I share success and failures stories with my children so that they will know its okay to fall short of a goal. Falling short does not mean it is the end. Above all, the goals I set, the way I carry myself and the decision I make convey an important message to my children: Change is not easy and mistakes are opportunities for learning. Lastly, I want my children to never give up because I never gave up. The second reason I have chosen to attend college is for my personal satisfaction. It is statistically...

Not yet I'm not ready to face Him yet I'm not ready to face my judgement, to be damned for all my wrong doings.

...When I was first transferred to the middle school, I had this uneasiness in my stomach. Being a little shy girl wasn’t easy either, and I had a lot of doubts. I didn’t know what to expect. It was a whole separate building too, and I had a feeling I was going to get lost about 5,000 times that day. Even at orientation - I was shaking out of my mind. I wasn’t new, I knew all of my classmates, I still was just scared straight. That first day of school wasn’t what at all I imagined, all I could tell is that all the 7th graders at the time were probably annoyed because I was lost. On the first day of school, I was nervous, shyer than ever, and ignorant. The thing that probably helped me the most for that year was when...

... Fishing to Work To me fishing is one of the best things you can do. I have spent many hours of my life beside a body of water fishing, but I have also noticed in those many hours all the works that goes into fishing from start. Understanding the meaning behind working to fish is a simple one. It is telling of all the work that goes in to fishing before the actual deed of fishing happens. So I wake up early in the morning before the sun rises, so I can do what I need to do. Most of the time I get ready to go fishing by getting all of my poles ready, but before that I must get all of my tackle together. This means I would check the line to see if it was still good, and if it wasn’t I would either change the line or get a different pole. I would also change the lure depending on where...

...over his lifetime. The Pathway to Excellence program that I am apart of I had a chance to hear some words of wisdom from him. He spoke about many things including many pointers on how to be successful, but the three things that really caught my attention were “Make a Plan”, “Take the Shot”, and “Preparation and Opportunity = Success”. The Make a Plan point referred to knowing what you are doing, before you start something. You want to remain focused on what you want. On the road to success you are going to lose things and have to make sacrifices. You are going to have sacrifice going out, hanging out with friends, and doing some of the things that you really want to. You are going to have to make changes, but you cannot be afraid of them. You might have to relocate, and you cannot be afraid to lay it all on the line for your dreams of success. The second point that he made, that I found useful, and important was that of Taking the Shot. This means if you work hard, you can play hard. You cannot succeed if you do not put in the time and the work. You can not be the strongest man in the world if you don’t work out, you can’t be the fastest man in the world if you do not run, so you cannot be successful if you do not try to succeed. Taking the risk of failure is taking the shot you have to be willing to dedicate time and to accomplish it. You do not feel like you have accomplished anything if you do not work for it. If you...
