...Her Last Days Jody Seibold Hondros College Abstract My research paper is dedicated to my mother and her last days on this earth. Our nightmare started on September 17, 2012, this is when we were told that my mom had stage four pancreatic cancers that had spread to all of the lobes of her liver, spleen, and large intestine. We went to this appointment thinking she would be able to be treated not to get a death sentence. By the time we found out her cancer had already spread. She was offered chemotherapy but she declined it because at best, it would only prolong her life a month maybe two. She wanted to live her life to the fullest and not be sick from chemo. At that moment every minute was precious time left with mom and I wanted to be by her side every minute of every day. This is the true story of a beautiful life cut short from cancer.

...Introduction Mahatma Gandhi has been a distinctive leader throughout his lifetime. His leadership characteristics have been recognized, analyzed and praised all around the world. He has become a prime example of a successful leader. In this research paper, I will pick certain theories to analyze Gandhi’s leadership. Then I will choose a “leader” from my circle of family, my mother, and examine her leadership using the same criteria. The purpose of the comparison is to recognize key leadership attributes and behaviors and establish an understanding of the importance of certain fundamentals of leadership. As I was beginning to research information on the topics of leadership and the basic ideas of it, I realized that I agreed with a lot of theories and opinions. However, I decided to take some key ideas and formulate my own definition of leadership that fits my perceptions of life, my cultural beliefs, my background and my personality. In my view, in order to be a leader one must have an open mind. One must have the ability to view situations from different perspectives. One must be able to think logical and free of clichés and acknowledge all advantages and disadvantages for all parties involved. In order to practice those characteristics one must get to know the players of the situation, one must get to know their mindset and their reasoning for action. What inspired me most about Gandhi, and which is also considered his most distinguishable and memorable trait, is that he...

...My experiences as a writer has had its ups and downs. I've been able to write papers but I've always needed a little bit of help to complete them. My mom has always been there when I am having problems writing papers. There have been times where I am amazing at them and knock them out like nothing. These are papers are usually short stories or something I can relate to. Then theres times where nothing comes to me and it seems like it takes forever to write them. When writing the papers one of the difficulties came from what I was writing about. In high school papers stressed me out because I knew I was going to have trouble with them. When I had to write my paper for chemistry, I worried about the length, how many citation, and how to cite it. I ask myself how does confidence impact my ability to write? On the one hand the papers I have the most confidence writing and I favor the most are ones where we have to tell a made up story or about a life event. I can write these very easily because I can remember the event very vividly or can make up a story with lots of detail. With event stories I usually just remember then write and occasionally go back to reread and fill some parts with more detail. In high school one of the first papers I had to write in my English class about a life event that changed your life. I thought to myself this is really easy to write about. I had an idea and there was no length on the paper so I didn't have to worry about how long it was. I was ready...

...Level Material Appendix D Research Plan As part of your research plan, you must first draft a research question for your research paper that will guide the rest of your writing. A research question, which is more specific and focused than a general topic, is the question that your research paper will be answering. For example, if your general area of interest is social security, a possible research question might ask “How can low-income families save more money if the United States had a reformed social security plan that includes personal retirement accounts?” As you develop a research question, keep in mind that you will need to research sources to support your topic. Do not pick a one-sided question that will limit your research. Instead, develop a research question that lends itself to further exploration and debate—a question for which you genuinely want to know the answer. Try to pick a research question that is neither too broad, which covers too much, or too narrow, which covers too little. It should be broad enough to be discussed in a short research paper. |What is your general topic or area of interest? |I want to look deeper into the percentage of teen pregnancy now | | |versus back then. | |What is it about your general topic of interest that interests |I have a lot of friends that are teen moms.

Many students will follow a career path which they picked before freshman year, enduring it till the graduate. For those students I feel they have missed the true point of college. Its not a place where you find your job but a place where you discover what you want your job to be. Throughout the semester, the copious amount of research on the topic of my choosing for my papers in writing 102 shifted my career focus toward a job absorbed with waterfowl.

By using the Internet, a personal interview, and a book, I discovered riveting facts about my first, middle, and last name. To start off this process, I started thinking about my first name. I knew a little of what my first name meant, but not much. When actually searching my name with (www.thinkbabynames.com), the name Kai’Lyn means keeper of the keys and pure. Not many people have my name, but it was one person that I came across from, and see was from the reality show “Teen Mom 2,” Kailyn Lowry. I also found out that Kailyn is not a female name, it is most commonly in male population. I also interviewed my mom about my first name, and she said, “I wanted you to have a white...

...with crayons and did math with a piece of paper, a pencil and if we were lucky, we had an adding machine. So much has changed over a short period of time that it is sometimes scary to think. An adding machine has now become such a sophisticated calculator that has computations that one could never figure in a short amount of time with a pencil and paper. When I just sit back and think what we did back when I was a child, as compared to the children right now, I am amazed. Another observation that I have made, is that I can drive down the road and see many people in their cars on their phones either talking or texting, whether they are drivers or passengers. I am just as guilty as well. I rely on technology more than what I should allow myself. I know my limits and boundaries, whereas others do not. If you were to purchase a new automobile, it will be enhanced with technology that allows you to punch a button on the steering wheel to talk on the phone as long as you have the “Bluetooth” button engaged on your cellular devise. When I was in elementary school, I did not have a cell phone, and my mom did not even know what texting was. My mother actually had to pick up the phone on the kitchen wall and call the school to leave a message with the secretary. I would receive the message whenever the secretary had time to walk down the hall, unless it was an emergency. The levels of communication have changed considerably. If my mom did ever call the school, it was at this...

... My essay for smell was probably the toughest for me to write. I could not think of a good enough topics to expand and write about to my peer editor. I know how much I loved the scent of homemade cookies, thanksgiving dinners, certain perfumes and more but I did not know what to write about. The topic I chose to write about came from one of my roommates while she was reading a magazine and thought of me. It was something that sparked my interest immediately. I love reading about little things that grab my attention and this one I found to be interesting and my partner would enjoy as well. Writer Bethany Heitman from the magazine Cosmopolitan states, ‘…fascinating news: Researchers have discovered that the smell of cucumber-that’s right, cucumbers- makes women aroused’ (p. 193). Who would have thought that this fresh smelling fruit with their hint of a mild sweetness and bitterness would make your female partner so aroused? Automatically I was hooked on why cucumbers and other foods increased pleasure during sexual encounters....

...environment of a person’s life greatly determines their personality. The traits a person has that they weren’t born with are the traits that the environment has influenced on them. There are many traits that I have inherited naturally through genetics from my mom and dad. I can tell that my work ethic has been inherited from my dad because he is a very hard worker and I also strive to achieve my personal best. My mom tends to be very sensitive at times and concerned for other people’s feelings, which I know, I have inherited. I have also inherited my dad’s super mathematical skills and my mom’s artistic abilities. I can also tell that I have inherited a good sense of well being from my mom. There are also many behaviors that I have developed from the environment I grew up in. I have learned to respect all people from being influenced at school and by my parents. I’ve also been trained to be responsible of things such as doing my work. I learned that if I am not responsible and don’t do my work, then I must pay bad consequences. I have also learned from experiences that if I do what I am supposed to do, I may be rewarded for it. I have been influenced to do something that will benefit myself and be rewarded for good things done. My environment has influenced me in many ways to act upon certain things automatically. Things like looking both ways before crossing the street, or...

...Andrew Yates Instructor – Anissa Demiter ENG 111 January 16, 2015 Literacy Narrative Throughout my childhood, the idea of having a college education was greatly stressed. As a result, it was my duty as the next generational child, to excel in my studies and achieve a life of prosperity and success. Learning became the basic foundation of my growth. Therefore, my youth was overtaken by many hours spent reading and writing what was known to be correct "Standard" English. I first found this to be a great shortcoming, but I knew that one day I wanted to have a great career. At this time I had no idea what I was going to become but trough reading and writing I had a few ideas. One idea was to be a truck driver or a pharmacist, but I later discovered I liked law enforcement much better. Through the many years of school I have found it very hard to get through my English classes. I found writing to be the hardest subject, but I always gave it my best. Reading I found much easier. I have always liked reading more it is easier than to write something. My mom always helped me through by encouraging to do so. She always told me “son if you just give it your best then you will make good grades”. Those words have stuck with the throughout my life. I strive to do my best in everything I do today. I give it my best. I think the reason I struggled with writing is because I’m more of a hands on person. I have been this way for as long as I can remember. I used to take...

...Personal Impact Paper Addonica Jackson NUR/427 July 8, 2014 Debra Ayer Personal Impact Paper Crohn's disease (CD) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease affecting any part of the gastrointestinal tract from the mouth to the anus, although the ileum, colon and perineum are most commonly involved (Hart, A. & Ng, S., 2011). CD is more widespread among adolescents and young adults between the ages of 15 - 35. According to Mayo Clinic Staff, "Researchers believed that a number of factors, such as heredity and a malfunctioning immune system, play a role in the development of Crohn's disease." In CD the patient develops inflammation to the wall of the bowel that causes scarring or the inflammation can penetrate through the wall of the bowel and causes a fistula. Some symptoms of CD are persistent diarrhea, abdominal pain and cramps, rectal bleeding, decrease appetite, weight loss and constipation. In order to protect the patient's privacy I will use the initial AJ. I obtained verbal permission from AJ and her mom to interview her. I chose CD because over the past 6 months I have seen the great financial, personal and social impact CD has on AJ and her family. This paper will also address AJ's learning process and educational experience regarding CD. It will also outline the change motivators AJ used and recommend theories of learning and motivation. AJ, a 21 year old nursing student was experiencing frequent bouts of abdominal pain, loose stool and hyperactive bowel...
