At the same time, a central gathering or a meditation space for office crowd to relax or to relieve the stress from work. The non-profit Thanks-Giving Foundation commissioned the postmodern architect Philip Johnson to design the Square and was finished in 1976.

...Reflective Essay: What I Learned in Writing 101 Jason E. Mainor UMUC 02 March 2016 Reflective Essay: What I Learned in Writing 101 The fall of 2015 is when I first learned that I had to take Writing 101. I was pretty worried, throughout my time in school, I always struggled with my writing skills. Be that as it may, this class was exactly what I needed to build confidence in my writing. I have discovered many things during this class that I will carry with me while on my journey to obtaining a degree from UMUC. The three most important ones I will be taking away are the proper usage of verb tense throughout my essays, how to come up with and support my thesis, and finally being able to properly alter the tone of my paper effectively based on my audience. Growing up, grammar was never exactly my strongest forte. Throughout my time spent in school I always struggled with the basics of verbs and adjectives, sentence fragments and run-on sentences. Anything and everything with grammar was a hassle for me. For this reason, the fear of writing followed me into college. For example, while writing my initial essay I struggled from beginning to end to use the right verb tense. I was constantly going back and forth from past tense to present tense, and I never noticed it until the professor corrected me on it. Fortunately, when the time came around for my second essay, I was well aware of the issue and was able to use the proper verb tense. For example, I exchanged “am” for the...

...A Thank You to Liz Writing has never been one of my strong points in school or life. I knew taking English 101 was going to be a challenge, especially considering I haven’t been in school for fifteen years. Turns out, the class isn’t as bad as I thought it might be. In fact English is one of my more enjoyable subjects this semester. The primary reason for this enjoyment is because of my wife Liz. She is currently pursuing her master’s in English and has a great deal of knowledge on the subject. Liz’s help in several aspects of my writing is the reason I have done so well. Here are a few examples of this help. One of the major aspects of writing Liz has helped me with is brainstorming. She would sit down with me and read the essay topic and instructions. Then we would begin to gather a list of ideas on the topic. Next we would discuss each topic and decide whether or not to keep it. Liz is very good with giving pros and cons on why to use or not use an idea. In the end we would narrow my list down to one idea to use. This brainstorming help gave me a great start to most of my essays. Another aspect that Liz helped me with is sentence structure. I sometimes write sentences that are awkward or to “wordy” as she says. Here is an example from the rough draft of this essay: “Now factor in that I haven’t been in school for fifteen years and you can probably see why I dreaded the idea of taking English 101.” Now read the second sentence of the opening paragraph and...

...there, and be real with the way you write things. I really appreciate the help you did with my college essay, that was so hard for me to write without it sounding like a poem. I always get so personal and emotional with whatever I write so that’s why then my mind wanders and I write weird things, and say them awkwardly as I go. Later on in my life I want to definitely write a book so I might need you to help me with grammar if I don't get it fixed by the time I write it (lol). Ever since freshman year I’ve been starting to write a three book series, but I don’t know if I will still do that. I really can not believe I won’t have you as my teacher anymore. You really brought out something good in me and my writing. I'm slowly learning how to be proud and confident in my own voice every single essay after essay. What I really liked about your teaching style is that you really understood me, and tried to help me, and not a lot of teachers understand me that way. You saw potential in my writing and boosted me up, which has never happened to me with essays. I'm more of a fictional typewriter. Anyways I will email you my book or drafts if I feel lost, but I know that you're busy with your life too. I really want to thank you for never giving up on my writing, and helping me improve. I loved our casual conversations, and I'll miss them, but I’ll keep you updated about college life too. Thank you by the way for allowing me to submit this so late. Its things like these that make you a great...

...On December 10, 1986 in the Oslo City Hall Elie Wiesel presented his famous Acceptance Speech for the 1986 Nobel Peace Prize. Throughout the Holocaust survivor’s speech Elie explains his call to action, a call that is to help humanity. This essay will discuss what Elie Wiesel’s speech tries to explain to individuals and how the only way to empower the world is through peace. The violation of human rights disempowers the world as a whole, and the violations can be stopped and prevented. Although the world has no obligation to prevent the humiliation and indignity of others, Elie Wiesel expresses that humans should consider and respect each other. The author states, “...

...Carmen Chavez Mrs. Perry Essay#3: Narrative Essay 09/13/15 Life without parental support can be a disaster. My parents are one of the most amazing people you can find around the world for all the sacrifices they had made for me. They help with every step of my life, especially with my daughter, as well as supporting me with my career and encouraging to finish college. They love me and I thank God that gave me such a great gift. My parents came from Honduras. My father left me when I was only sixth months old, and my mom when I was one year old. I stayed with my grandmother until the age of eight, when my parents decided to bring me with them. I know my parents put a lot of effort and thinking to bringing me here, so that I could be reunited with them as soon as possible, yes it took a couple of years, but they brought me. Everytime I look at my parents or even think of them, pride overwhelms me. My life and world is all thanks to them. My father is the one I always had more communication and trust with, because he was easy going and trusted me. My dad is very smart, he didn’t have a chance to finish school, he only made it to middle school.

...graduate one-day. Since I picked ENC 1101 to be one of my first semester college classes, it's been a difficult course for me. My lack of grammar knowledge, experience writing essays and organizing ideas are the three factors that made this college class challenging. Even though it's been hard on me, I now know how to write essays the right way and also how to organize my ideas so I have a clear vision of what I'll be writing about. This is really important to me because learning how to write properly will not only help me pass ENC 1101, but it will help succeed in other classes, life, and my future career. My ENC 1101 Professor Walter Hernandez not only motivated us to become better writers but also shared with us important tips regarding how to write like a college writer. He would always have a positive attitude, making the class amusing and enjoyable. The first week of school, Professor Hernandez showed the class "The ENC 1101 Survival Guide" which is a document containing essays written by Miami Dade College students that represent how his students made it through his class by becoming better writers. Therefore every time I need to write an essay, I always take a quick look at one of the writings in the guide in order to obtain ideas and tips on how to make my writing perfect. One of my favorite essays from the survival guide is "Tips to Succeed In ENC 1101" by Nathalie Silvera, where she explains and details step by step how she made it through ENC 1101 as a college student...

...Nursing Informative Essay Imagine just for a minute being in a hospital. Have you ever wondered who is always taking care of different patients almost at the same time? Or how it is possible that medicine is so advanced compared to years before? I have the answer. The nurse is the person in charge of taking care of patients, and medicine is so advanced thanks to the technology we have nowadays. I chose to be a Registered Nurse (RN), but I know is not an easy job because they have to perform different job duties. Not everyone can become a nurse, in fact, to be one, you need some requisites first. Afterward, medicine has become improved because of the advances we have on technology. When people choose Registered Nursed (R.N.) as their career they have to perform various job obligations. According to a website called “Monster” registered nurses have to “provide direct patient care and report any changes in patient status to the doctor treating the patient”. The nurse also “needs to keep in contact with the patient to let the patient know he is in good hands and good care”. In addition to that, the doctor always “needs to be informed about any change in the patient’s health” so he knows what medicines give the patient to become healthy again. Additionally, the same website also addresses that “they also need to update the condition of the patient to their family members and about the trainings, medicines and precautions that the patient needs to take as per plan of care...
