...Stupid neighbors garden, I thought, they just had to make the fence that low. Me, Julia, and David were playing football in the back yard when the ball accidently went to the Frost’s yard. They’d always creep me out, especially David; he was there only child and practically the creepiest kid on the planet. This time the ball didn’t land in there back yard, further more it landed inside there house, only crazy people like them have a big hole in there rooftop and that’s exactly where it landed, bulls eyes. The three of us never dared to step an inch close to the house this time, we were dared by David; and therefor I’ve never lost a bet in my life. The three of us took longer steps in deeper fear as we got closer to the house. As John Drew Maxi, I took a deep breath knowingly that this might as well be the last day of my life. As my foot reached the ground I heard the echo on the steps. I nocked three times on the door but there was no answer, the three of us held hands in alarm. The Door slowly opened like they do in horror movies, there was no one there. But I wasn’t as stupid as the guys in movies who are like “ hey, is anyone there” its not like the bad guys is going to be like “Hey man I’m in the chicken wanna sandwich?” that’s only what they do in movies, but unfortunately this was reality. Taking several deep breaths and the fear anguished inside us. Taking the first step in was the hardest ,scariest and most defiantly the riskiest. After the three of us took a few steps...

...On November 8th I embarked on my nutrition analysis using Supertracker and, originally, an excel sheet that I started logging my food intake on; however, it only had two spots designated for calories and fats, so I asked around and discovered MyFitnessPal. I ended up choosing Supertracker and MyFitnessPal as my mediums for this assignment, and overall was impressed by how easy they were to navigate. To begin, both sites offered great information on food intake, but the biggest difference between the two was that MyFitnessPal actually registered every food I entered; whereas with Supertracker I had to use a food similar to the one I was eating, but not quite the same food I had actually ingested. MyFitnessPal had the foods, brands, and the labels set up to where I just had to specify how much of it I ate. Overall, I would say that MyFitnessPal was the most accurate source of the two and had more information, but both sites did a good job of making their page easy to understand. I also enjoyed the graphs that Supertracker supplied once I recorded the foods that were consumed; furthermore, the graphs made it more appealing for my visual...

...Do you think chavis should’ve been able to come back? I don’t because what he did hurt his coaches and teammates and it cost him to go to the youth pennatinry because he did drugs. But when he did come back he started off bad for example he started a fight with money and it caused money to walk out. He was suspended for fifteen months and he talked to coach bill every day to see if he could come back to the football team if he didn’t mess up again with the drugs and he didn’t use them any. He got in an argument with the assistant coaches and coach bill asked him what happen and he said nothing and kept walking away. The only reason the coaches let him return is so he could try to become a good person and try to do better with his life because...

...I have always been told I size does not matter and I could do anything that I set my mind to do. When I read General Dwight D. Eisenhower saying, “What counts is not necessarily the size of the dog in the fight – it’s the size of the fight in the dog”, I could not agree more. The reasons I believe this to be true would be becoming a teen mother, completing three degrees with a grade point average of 3.75 and joining the military at the age of twenty-six. Over the course of my life, I have encountered several challenges that have proved this theory true. My fight inside me has shown that I could overcome any obstacle placed in my path. Being raised in a Catholic home, my first life challenge came sooner than I was prepared for. I found...

...To singularly define my identity, culture and family in three items is extremely difficult. How do I encapsulate my entire essence with three tangible materials to complete strangers? After much thought, conversation, and pure chance the three things I would have to explain my background would be a football, Gummibärchen, and a pair of pink baby booties. The three things I have selected encompass my family identity, link to my German and American heritage, and pay ode to myself and culture. Football may seem like a typical American nod to our culture, but in my circumstance it is atypical. For as long as I can remember, football has been one of the only things to bring my family together. In 2006, I remember living on the military base, Camp Lejuene, and my mum burning her Pittsburg Steelers candle while the Steelers...

...I have always been very involved. I have been dancing since I was three and take 4-7 classes a week of many different types. Each class ranges between 45-60 minutes in length. I became a part of band and choir when I was in middle school and was the first chair flute player through all three middle school years, despite challenges from all the other players. I received an award from my band director for my musical talents. I became a part of a middle school show choir in my eighth-grade year called “Cougar First Edition.” We sang and danced for different events around town and rehearsed for three hours once a week. I auditioned for the Varsity Singers as an incoming freshman and made it in with only five other freshmen. Varsity Singers is a competitive show choir that puts in a minimum two three-hour rehearsals weekly. Practices on the weekends could be anywhere from 6-12 hours straight. Weeks right before competitions or performances were often filled with five rehearsals per week for two weeks, taking place every day after school...

...SCI/220 Food Intake – 3 Days I kept a record of my dietary intake for three days using the WileyPLUS iProfile food intake journal. I definitely feel that the journal is a great tool since it breaks down the ingredients of my diet and shows me exactly what it is that I am putting into my body on any given day. In addition, since starting this journal I feel that it is important to be aware of what I am eating and I plan to continue to use this journal in the future. Not only does the journal allow me to record my daily diet but it also shows me the recommended daily values for each of the food groups, minerals, and vitamins based on my age, height, and body weight. Understanding what is being put into my body is essential for living a long, healthy life. I tried to eat a wider variety of foods over the course of the three days so that I could have a balanced diet to write about. Out of the foods that I included in my diet, only a few foods contained protein, carbohydrates, and lipids. The protein in my diet was attributed to the chicken and the green vegetables that I consumed over the three days. The carbohydrates in my diet were mainly from the bread and the pizza that I consumed over the three days. The lipids that I consumed over the three days were from the fatty foods that I ate, such as fish, bacon, and pizza. Lipids come from the fats and oils that are in my diet (Carter). According to the Dietary Recommenced Intake, I had exactly 100% of the DRI for protein-carbohydrate-fat...

...Three Day Diet Analysis Hans, Ronald J. SCI 241 November 11, 2012 Stacey Nagy Three Day Diet Analysis Growing up I have always given my dad a hard time for his weight until about four years ago when he pulled out his wedding tux and I tried it on and could not fit in it. I am currently six foot four inches and weight approximately one hundred and fifty pounds so you can share my amazement when I found out that I couldn’t fit into my two hundred and fifty pound father’s tux. My dad got married when he was twenty two and I just turned twenty two, so I believe that it is about time to start being more a wear of what I eat. Being that I am currently underweight, I haven’t had to discipline myself when it comes to eating too much. My problem is that I do not eat enough of the right stuff. My three day food tracker account has shown me that my eating habits are horrible to say the least. I only managed to meet one daily food group target and that was only for two of the three days. I fell under the recommended calorie allowance on all three days as well. It is obviously that my diet needs help. Super Tracker recommends that I ingest 3200 calories per day. The highest I achieved in the past three days was only 2353 and that was because I almost ate an entire twelve inch pizza for dinner. Of the six classes of nutrients, Super Tracker recommends that I eat ten ounces of grains, four cups of vegetables, two and a half cups of fruit, three cups of dairy, seven ounces of protein...

...Lord Otori Shigeru – Takeo Eulogy I stand before you here today, as Lord Otori Shigeru’s adopted son, Takeo. Although Lord Shigeru is no longer with us, he will be remembered tremendously by everybody who had the experience of meeting him. Lord Shigeru always believed he would achieve far more in death than he did in life and it is therefore important that we do not spend the coming days in mourning. Instead, we rise and continue the legacy of Shigeru! And although he is no longer among us, we can honour his memory and keep his spirit alive. As I stand here before you today, I thank each and every one of you for attending. I also thank you, Lord Otori Shigeru for the honourable life you led, full of achievements and the memories which will remain as a result of you. From the moment I met him, he displayed qualities of a warrior. A warrior who always did his best to help the people. Lord Shigeru was a great man who did not feel the need, even as rightful heir to the Otori Clan, to use power and politics to make his mark in the world. In fact, Lord Shigeru often wanted nothing to do with the Otori Clan. However, having been born into it, it was expected that he continue the Clan into the future. This was not the life, Lord Shigeru wanted, in fact he much preferred settling down in his garden and becoming a farmer rather than the warlord he was expected to be. Lord Shigeru was even prepared to brave his enemy for a life with his one true love. We are gathered here today to honour...

...The world of Kpop In a world where music dominates and influences everything we do, there is a new type of music that is quickly progressing in popularity, not only nationally but globally as well. Kpop is Korean pop music, although it is not only pop music, it is also trot, hip hop and R&B and Rap. It is a competitive field that requires hard work and determination. Kpop is not only music though; it is a guide that can help give a person more insight about the world around them. It is a hard thing to be an idol in Korea, there are so many values and difficulties they must overcome in order to achieve recognition and fame. If someone were to want to be an idol in South Korea then their best bet would be to go to “The Big Three”. YG Entertainment, JYP Entertainment, and SM Entertainment, These three companies are named “The Big Three” because they are three of the most highly distinguished and accomplished companies in all of South Korea. “The Big Three” have led many idols to fame in not only South Korea but globally as well. In comparison to Canada or the US you could call South Korean’s harsh with the way they train upcoming artists, but they have higher standards. The training process consists of around three year’s minimum of being a trainee and there are many hardships that must be overcome through that process. The trainee years are what determine whether or not a person can make it in the competitive field of being a Korean pop idol. Have you ever looked around and...

...friends. Three black girls deride her and cause some problems. She is only 8th grade's student and a small kid. These three girls give pressure that a kid can not easy to withstand. Their threaten and actions to her makes her so upset. What those girls has done to her makes her suffering a lot. When I read this article, my childhood also has some dark memories that I did not want it happened to me again. When I was 12 years old, this was the time to go to junior school in China. The Chinese education system force students to very hard and compete with each other. Students needs to study sine 6am till 10pm everyday to study all kinds of subjects. And most of parents want their children to go to top schooling their city in order to have a promising future. With a huge amount of students but limited best schools, not all the students can make their "best school" dreams come true. So the entrance exam is the only way to pick students who want to go to the best school. Fortunately, I was 1000 of 10000 students who passed the exam. However if i had a chance to chose again, i would rather not pass that exam. What I had experienced made me feel so upset and lonely. The Foreign Languages School, one of the best schools in my hometown, was a boarding school. Students only had 4 days off to home per month. I lived with my grandparents in countryside before and my parents seldom had time to spent with me. I didn't got too much attention and care or love from my parents since i was young....

...Weight and Activity Level My BMI is 35.5 and I am in the obese range. When I was in elementary, junior and high school, my weight was in the normal range.

I am interviewing 3 candidates who are all similarly qualified. I know personally one of the candidates, his family and how the family worked to pay for his schooling. This candidate’s father has asked me to hire his son. I have asked the assistant fire chief to conduct a second interview with he and I well prepared to differentiate the similar candidates. The second interview session was telling. The candidate’s dress, attitude, community involvement, variety of experience and even additional skills made one candidate stand out above the others as excellent. All 3 would have made a good choice and I was comfortable hiring any 1 of them but the second interview revealed that a particular candidate was clearly the best.
