..."Code Blue! Code Blue!" screamed the loudspeaker. A team of doctors and nurses rushed over to the room to perform lifesaving CPR. Meanwhile, I was frantically trying to keep up with the team while at the same time, trying not to get in the way. Why was a high school student following a medical team, you are probably wondering? Well, I was selected to attend the Eve & Gene Black Summer Medical Career program this past summer. This program allows high school students the opportunity to shadow medical personnel at local hospitals. Five of us spent four awe inspiring weeks following medical personnel at White Memorial Medical Center. I can proudly say that I saw birth, death, and everything in between. This program has inspired me to seek a career in the medical field....

...& Parker, 2005). A parapet exists between the fire and the prisoners, in which the puppeteers can walk. The puppeteers behind the prisoners clutch the puppets that cast their shadows on the cave walls. However, the prisoners cannot see the puppets but can hear the echoes of objects and see some shadows on the caves wall. The prisoners can hardly recognize the real cause of the shadows and they suppose that the shadows are real. According to Plato, if a different shadow is cast that resembles a book, the prisoners are likely to recognize it in their own language. Thus, in his view, prisoners would be mistaken, since they would be referring to the shadows in their own language that pass through their eyes than the real things that cause the shadows. Plato’s objective was to show that the general terms used in a certain language are not the names of tangible things that we see but the things we can internalize in our minds. Plato shows how humankind should achieve this reflective understanding in their daily life including social judgments. The prisoners in the cave may learn the key features of a book from their earlier encounters with it rather than describing something that they have never seen. In my personal life, I have experienced a case similar to Plato’s argument. During my high school years, I had little knowledge in working with...

To overcome the hardship of getting them all educated on his teacher’s salary, he tirelessly worked many jobs to afford for their college education. My grandfather’s dedication to education inspired my mother to obtain a master’s degree in electrical engineering, and my aunts in becoming a pediatrician, an architect, and computer scientists.

...loved/liked me? No. Not one person its like my only friend is my shadow. Every time I talk to someone its like I’m talking to myself all-alone in the end. I scream my name like a fool hoping someone will hear but the only thing coming back is my echo. I just wish I had someone. Not even a boyfriend labeled but someone I can tell my deepest secrets to, cuddle with, kiss, hug for 5 minutes without it being awkward, hold his hand, and do coupley things. But it’s just my echo and shadow that is my only hope. Ill never be in love. Ill never find the one. I feel like I’m just weird and not one guy would ever fall for me because I’m not like the others, idk? Maybe I’m to mentally fucked up. Maybe they know that I’m scared of settling. The only thing that keeps me still open for a chance in love is the love tree quote. “Girls are like apples on a tree. The best ones are at the top. The boys don’t want to reach for the good ones because they are afraid of falling and getting hurt. Instead they just get the rotten apples, at the bottoms, that aren’t as good, but easy. So the apples at the top think there is something wrong with them, when in reality, they are amazing. They just have to wait for the right guy to come along, the one who is brave enough to climb a tree all the way to the top.” Love is meant to make you happy. I cant wait to be old with kids and when that day comes when your kids ask you, “mommy, did you ever have a high school love?”, and I say, “No baby I never had one.” Though, every...

...For my second job shadow I job shadowed Jonah Brindley, who is the Production Manager and Sound guy at the Tower Theatre in Bend, Oregon. I chose to job shadow here because of my interest in theatre and so job shadowing one of the shows was at the top of my list of things to do. I chose the Tower Theatre as it is one of the only theatres and only had a choir concert happening on an available day for myself and Jonah. The Tower Theatre is a 2 story building with a basement in Downtown Bend. During my job shadow was the Christmas parade also so I ended up parking 6 blocks away and hiking to the theater. The sound board operator is on the first floor sitting in back of house. The lights operator is in the booth upstairs which also doubles as an office space for technical staff. The building is actually very cramped as it was never intended to be a fully functional theatre but more of an orchestra hall, hence the shells being built into the walls. Due to the theatre culture in Central Oregon this would be impossible and so its entertainment type has to be varied to actually keep the theatre up and running. Being cramped talent are shoved anywhere and everywhere as there is...

...Many people grow up thinking they want to change the world I however grew up thinking I want to make a change to someone’s life. That is how I join Opportunity Smiles. At school many times I have seen special needs kids out casted from society by other students. Despite the fact that they are just human beings like us no one dares to treat them equally or pay some attention to them. In 2012, three girls started Opportunity Smiles at Manvel High School. I did not know what the club was about but the name of the club attracted me to it so I made the choice to go and take a look. When I first entered the room I was greeted by very friendly people; however, they were different in a special way. Throughout the meeting I learned Opportunity Smiles...

I, Quinn Jacob, am one of these vulnerable fourteen year olds who have just begun their ninth grade year. Being the geeky, unattractive, slightly appalling girl I am seen as, this is an ideal opportunity for me to transform into what my classmates describe as perfect.

...Integrate Science and Arts Process Skills in the Early Childhood Curriculum How can early childhood teachers help children think creatively, discover new possibilities, and connect their ideas? Integrate science and the arts in the curriculum! “The greatest scientists are also artists as well.” –Albert Einstein Kathy Morrison Art and science are intrinsically linked—the essence of both fields is discovery. Artists and scientists function systematically and creatively. Their knowledge, understanding, and outcomes are explored in hands-on studios or high-tech labs. In classrooms for all ages, integrating science and the visual arts offer children the latitude to think, discover, and make connections (Alberts, 2011). • Young children are also natural artists (Althouse, Johnson, & Mitchell, 2003). Most are delighted to participate in open-ended art activities, dramatic play, singing, and dancing. Young children paint, sculpt, sing, or dance in their own unique ways. They want to be involved in the visual and performing arts, to try new things, and to experiment with the familiar (Pinciotti, 2001). For young children, the process in science and art is much more important than whatever product may result (Stivers & Schudel, 2008). The fundamental science process skills for early childhood are to • • • • • observe, communicate, compare, measure, and organize (Sarquis, 2009). Art and science are intrinsically linked. Scientists and artists typically observe life from...

...Conflict can affect people in many ways and the way one sees conflicts can also affect themselves internally. Some people that show how conflict can affect a person are Frederick Douglass and Sophie Scholl. Their conflicts are portrayed in the speech “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July” and the excerpt “Hitler Youth: Growing up in Hitler’s shadow”. Frederick Douglass lived through one of the worst violent and controversial times in U.S history. It was the time where slaves were still slaves and discrimination against another race, religion, and color was on the rise. Douglass was invited to speak at Rochester, New York on Independence Day. Douglass, a former slave, answered the question of, “What to the slave is the Fourth of...

...Introduction 1.1 Background Technical Analysis is the forecasting of future financial price movements based on an examination of past price movements. Like weather forecasting, technical analysis does not result in absolute predictions about the future. Instead, technical analysis can help investors anticipate what is "likely" to happen to prices over time. Technical analysis uses a wide variety of charts that show price over time. One of them is candlestick chart. By the grace of Almighty Allah I have been assigned to prepare a project paper on ‘Making Effective Decision in Stock Market through Candlestick Chart Analysis’.

She used her peculiar view of the world to document the lives of people who would otherwise not be recognized and that makes the case for her innovative artistry. One of the most distinctive photographers of the 20th century, Diane Arbus was born March 14th, 1923 in New York City. She was the second child to David Nemerov and Gertrude Russek Nemerov, a Jewish couple who lived in New York City and owned Russek's, a famous Fifth Avenue department store. Due to her family's wealth, Arbus was shielded from the effects of the Great Depression while growing up in the 1930s and attended private school where she met her future husband.

...Elementary School Teacher The Story of My Search Recently, I had an amazing opportunity to job shadow one of the best elementary teachers in our district. As soon as I walked into the room, all of the kid’s faces lit up with excitement. Teaching elementary school is something I’ve always wanted to do since I was actually in elementary school myself. Although I’ve known this is what I wanted to be for a while, I wasn’t quite sure until recently. My tenth grade year, I became a part of the Teacher Academy I program and absolutely fell in love with that career choice. In that class, we not only did a good bit of book work to learn about the career field, we also went to our local elementary school and did hands on experience. We were able to...

...necessary steps to become a High School athletic director. In preparation, I have obtained an internship with Brian Thomas at Northern Guildford High School. During my internship I am going to shadow Brian to see exactly what being an athletic director entails. Also, I am going to ask him questions about his journey in becoming an athletic director. My goal during my internship is to first, see what Brian does day by day, as I believe there is not a typical day for an athletic director. From what I understand, athletic directors do something different every day, whether it's budgeting, fundraising, planning home games and away games or prepping fields. Next, I plan to see where Brian started his career. I understand it's difficult to become an athletic director right out of college. It will be beneficial to see where he started and what kind of experience he obtained. Through my research, I have found, some athletic directors need a master’s degree. In addition, I am anxious to see how he budgets the allowances for things like team uniforms without favoring one team over another. Lastly, I hope to get enough insight and experience of what being an athletic director fully entails, to my decision of pursuing a career in this field. I am very excited to start my internship and I am ready to adapt to the change of working and no just going to school. I am going to take in, and learn as much as I can when working with Brian. I am eager to finish school and start my career, whether...
