...Cornell, that's pretty nice.” She replied smirking “Haha yeah. It's almost like a tradition in my family to go there. How about you?” “I went to New York University and studied law. It's actually a tradition in my family to go to Cornell too. I grew up in a foster home most of my life and didn’t learn about the tradition until recently when I was digging into my birthparents past and stuff.” Kamberly replied. “I grew up in a foster home too. Maybe that's where we have seen each other. Where did you grow up?” he asked “I’ve grown up here, in New York for my whole life. Never lived anywhere else. How about you?” “Oh, that can’t be it then. I grew up in Washington most of my life.” he replied “Weird question, but what’s your last name?” she asked. She had a feeling that she needed to ask that question. She didn’t know why it just kept nagging at her mind. “Arrowmen.” She felt her jaw drop and her eyes widen. She couldn’t believe it. The hair, the eyes, the smile. It all seemed too familiar. She had known there was a possibility that she had siblings, but she never put much thought into it. “That my last name.” she replied quietly. His eyes started watering. He couldn’t meet her...

...chapter we had learned the narrator’s name, Esperanza, which means “hope” in English. “It was my great-grandmother’s name and now it is mine/ She was a horse woman too, born like me in the Chinese year of the horse_ which is supposed to be bad luck if you’re born female-but I think this is a Chinese lie because the Chinese, like the Mexicans, don’t like their women strong.”(p110) this quote meaning that the narrator, Esperanza, explains that she was named after her grandmother and they share the Chinese birth year of the horse, so she expressed a requirement to have known her grandmother. She also expressed her belief to deflect her fate. So that they want to be strong. The quote “the way so many women sit their sadness on an elbow." this also shows her grand mother who was physical and spiritual being was defeated by an unwanted marriage. She explained her grandmother is the one of the others who spend their lives looking out window and trying for escape in her hole life. Esperanza wonders if her grandmother made the best of her situation or she turned her anger at her husband; therefore, hurt herself more than her husband could have. Esperanza would like to change her name to one that expresses true for herself, but she does so in a random way that we are not meant to take seriously. “In English my name means hope. In Spanish it means too many letters. It means sadness, it means waiting.” (p109) This quote from the chapter “My Name,” which is a metaphor for hope and expectation...

...Kristen Ngan is the name. The type of girl who is very adventurous, creative, “kikay”, loves collecting girly things, fashion and colors! I can say that every object in my plate, symbolizes me or my personality. The “Pink Shoe” and the “Pearl Bracelet” represents Fashion. I've always had a 'Passion For Fashion’. Ever since I was a little girl, I have been reading fashion and beauty magazines. I was always wondering how women could bring out the best in themselves. In fashion, my biggest inspirations are definitely Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe and Gabrielle Chanel. They show the difference between a woman and a lady. In my free time I like to read fashion magazines, fashion and beauty blogs. I love to surf the internet to look up all sorts of fashion online shops. Not just to see what’s new, but to get inspired as well. Being involved into “fashion” is really a big thing for me. Because in that way i help myself increase my self-esteem. My interest in fashion started at a young age. I enjoyed spending my days alone playing with my Barbies. I repurposed their clothes with a stapler and tape and gave them haircuts to match their look. The “Green Ribbon” represents how girly I am. The “Red Nail Polish”. When I became a teenager, like I said, I love colors! and so I’ve been very addicted to nail polish. Its just I’m so plain, without them. And I really take good care of my nails. Also, believed in the saying “Nails Are Like Jewels, Don't Use Them Like Tools”. The “MAC...

...“My Name” My given name is Pedro. It is a Spanish form of the name Peter. I got my name because my father’s name is the same. My last name is Sanchez, which is also a Spanish name. My grandfather’s last name is Sanchez, and he was born in Spain. Sanchez is derived from the given name Sancho, meaning “sanctified”. Sanchez is the 8th most popular Hispanic last name. I like my name, but it is a very common male name. Also, my nickname is Pedrito, a sweet form of the Spanish name Pedro. My relatives and friends call me Pedrito, but they never complement it because it is not a very distinguished name. I do not feel my name causes people to treat me in a particular way, but I love my name because it is special to me. Because my name is derived from the Greek word “Petra” meaning “stone, rock”, I could associate my name with any rock. However, there are many types of rocks, and there are a wide range of colors of rocks, depending upon the presence of minerals. If I have to choose an specific color, blue is my favorite. There is a rock named “azurite”, an Arabic word meaning blue. Searching the internet I found that there is a plant named San Pedro. This plant is a cactus that grows in the desert. The plant is light to dark green. I also found a place in California named San Pedro Rock. It is a huge rock formation emerging from the depths of the sea. My name have different meanings and associations. I do not want to change my name; Peter was the name...

...deliberate strokes I signed my kindergarten masterpiece, M-A-R-K, narrowly missing the puddle of wet white glue above the floppy plastic eyeball. I paused with a familiar thought: it just didn’t fit. Mark was just too short and awkward sounding and such a great tissue paper turkey deserved a better signature. I couldn’t escape the disappointment because Mark followed me in bold letters everywhere. On my lunch box, the tag inside my coat, my baseball glove, etc. The name Mark was like the annoying neighborhood kid you get stuck with over summer vacation and just can’t get rid of. I had no idea that over time, this unwanted companion would become my respected friend. Why couldn’t I have names like my brothers? Richard was the oldest and his name was strong and confident. Best of all he could be Rich or Richard, a multifunctional name; Richard when he became president and Rich with his buddies on the playground. And then there was Russell who could always be Russ when the need arose. What were my parents thinking? Did they just run out of letters? It was obvious to me that my name should’ve been Robert. This theory was reinforced by my Sesame Street logic: Richard, Russell, Robert, Mark; which one of these just doesn’t belong? I wanted Robert… not Mark, and like that unwanted tag along there didn’t seem to be anything I could do to get rid of it. As years went by, various experiences made me more accepting of my name. One of the most memorable came...

...In English my name means someone who is wise and honorable. According to the Biblical references, my name means judgment of God. In Chinese, my name means lucky family. My Chinese name was chosen by my wise grandparents. My English name was chosen by my parents from a movie. Daniel is also the name of the main character of The Karate Kid, Daniel LaRusso. In this movie, Daniel moves to a new city and being the new kid in town, he gets bullied by a gang of tough students from the local karate school. Daniel befriends a Japanese handy-man, Mr Miyagi who is the janitor at his apartment block. He is later trained by him & taught the ancient art of kung fu & eastern philosophy which he uses to overcome the bullies. My name is Daniel because of that main character. I am like that person because I was also bullied when I was in elementary school. Although I like kung fu, I did not learn it to overcome my bully problem. I do not wish to be like Daniel LaRusso because I do not think that violence is the solution to our problems. People have responded to my name as if it were an original name and as if there were too many Daniels in the world. When people say my name, they make it sound plain and not unique at all. So instead of calling me Daniel, I ask them to call me Dan or Danny. A little variation helps make my name more unique. A nickname I would like would be a nickname that makes mean important person. Something with power that people would obey me by. A nickname like...

I come from a family who values hard work but falls short of placing higher education on their priorities list; and being the son of a single 16 year old mother, it was easy to count me out of college at an early age. Nevertheless, over the years, I stood out in school and remained enrolled in honors and advanced placement courses. Following high school graduation I attended Tarleton State University in Stephenville, TX, stamping my place in my family’s history as the first ever to attend a university. There I rushed and joined a national men’s fraternity, another first for my family. From then on I remained active on and around campus in several organizations and in charity work; all the while developing myself into a better student and a better man. However, all did not go well in my first two years at Tarleton. Having no clue what to expect living on my own away from home and surrounded by distractions, my grades began to decline. My mother then forced me to come back home and continue my schooling in Fort Worth. I soon...

...My name is Keith Curry, so I have been told for the last 27 years. I’m here at Henry Ford Community Collage pursuing an Associate’s degree in Respiratory Therapy to be followed by, if not proceeded by, a Bachelor’s degree in the field of Medical Management from our neighbor U of M Dearborn. Both of these degrees will be crowned with the completion of a Master’s program in the field of Physician’s Assistant. As a child it was never a dream of mine to be a doctor or any kind of assistant of one. So what brought me here? Let’s see if we can figure it out together shall we. School was never really my thing. I mean I have the aptitude for it but just never cared for it. In my teens I always wrote it off as one of those old clichés. You know the ones I’m referring to. “Preacher’s kids are the worst”, “Doctor’s kids do the most drugs”, and of course my favorite “Teacher’s kids are the ones most likely to hate school”. Well, like you I fall into that teacher’s kid category. My mom recently retired from the Detroit Public School system after 21 years of service as an elementary school teacher, 3 years as an assistant principle, and 11 years as a principle. I guess you can say my mother prepped me for collage life early. I can remember sitting in the back of lecture halls at Wayne State doing my homework while she was in class working on her Masters. The “Wedding Cake” building was my second home as I sat in on many a meeting with her professor’s and counselors. I promised myself I...

...CLOUD TECHNOLOGIES TO APPLY IN COUNTRYPAL INTRODUCTION CLOUD/WEB PLATFORM Cloud computing offers business owners like countrypal an opportunity to take their businesses to the next level without having to invest heavily. The entire foundation of cloud computing is based on Iaas or Infrastructure as a Service, which extensively deals with providing the hardware in a cloud. This includes servers, routers, network equipment, firewall etc. However, all this hardware is of no use without a platform to help developers develop their applications, based on which the businesses can actually operate.

But with cloud computing platforms, they can be delivered on the web. So, you can easily develop your applications without investing heavy amounts of money into buying software and other necessary tools for...

...P.102 The values held by Homer to give meaning to life in the Homeric Age were predominantly heroic values- the strength, skill, and valor of the dominating warrior. Such was the earliest meaning of arête, “excellence” or “virtue”, a term whose meaning changed as values changed during the course of Greek culture. To obtain arête- defined by one Homeric hero as “to fight ever in the forefront and outdo my companions”- and the undying fame that was its reward, men would endure hardship, struggle, and even death. Honor was the just reward for one who demonstrated arête, and the greatest of human injustices was the denial of honor due to a great hero. Homer makes such denial the theme of the Illiad,- the disastrous results of Achilles’s decision to withdraw from battle after he had been denied honor by King Agamemnon. P. 107 In fifth-century Athens, scholars estimate that one out of every four persons was a slave. Some were war captives and others were children of slaves, but most came from outside Greece through slave dealers. No large collections of slaves were used on agricultural estates. Small landowners might own one or more slaves, who worked in the fields alongside their masters. Those who owned many slaves often hired them out to private individuals or to the state, where they worked alongside Athenian citizens and received comparable wages. P. 113 The Greeks were the first to formulate many of the European culture’s fundamental concepts of politics, philosophy, science...
