...Christina Aguilera I am happy to say that I have a good relationship with both of my parents but in this paper, I want to write about my mom. My mom is one of the most important people in my life. Everything my mom says or does have an impact on my life. She is the only person who knows more about me than I do. No matter what happens in my life, no matter how good of a day or bad of a day I am having she is always there for me. She is the only person who will take time out of her busy schedule to talk to me about the littlest things. She is always there for me and that is why I chose I Turn to You by Christina Aguilera as the song that best describes our relationship. This song has the lyrics that best exemplifies my relationship with my mom. She is always there for me and she is the one person I can turn to for anything. Even when I have friends who let me down I know she will never do that. She cares about me so much and will be there for me through everything. She has never abandoned me in a time of need and I know she never will. As I get older I come to realize how much my mom means to me and what an important factor she is in my life. It would be very hard to pick out a part of the song that I like the best and that describes our relationship the best because the whole song does it. But if I did have to pick out my favourite lyrics of the song, it would be the bridge: For the arms to be my shelter through all the rain/For truth that will never change/For someone to lean...

...However, being a mom goes much further than just the physical needs of the family. It means to give your entire life and soul to those who you love. It means to spend sleepless nights when the kids are sick, or teaching them to talk, walk, and eventually to run down the streets in front of your house. Being a mom means a new life with many challenges. In my life my mother does all these things and more. She is the embodiment of love and kindness in the world and without her my life would never be the same. She is my role model and everyday I strive to accomplish what she has, because I know that she loves every day of life even...

...this boy you've been hanging around," My mom tuts, immediately making my head swivel towards her. Her hair is slicked back in a tight ponytail and her ruby red lips were pursed. She had been dashing all around the house, cleaning and nagging constantly. She's been on edge more than usual lately and I swear we have a conversation involving Justin multiple times a day. "It's not that big of a deal!" I groan, "he's just a friend of mine!" "You haven't had friends in years!" My mother accuses. I clench my fists and try really hard to not get myself into trouble. "You know exactly why that is," I say quietly. "Besides, instead of questioning things so much, why can't you just be happy for me?" I ask in exasperation. "I am happy for you! I'm just cautious you know? How well do you know these people? And this Justin boy?"...

...Heroes Paper The world needs heroes, but what really is a hero? A hero is someone who shows remarkable perseverance and courage. Perseverance means that you never give up and courage is when you are not afraid to do something. A hero should also be hard working which means they always do their best and does it diligently. Anyone who shows any of these qualities is a hero. A true hero is a person that is hard working. Jackie Robinson is perfect for this. He was the 1st African American to play major league baseball in history. His road to success was not so easy though. He was mistreated by all of the other white players in the league because they didn’t like him. Jackie Robinson was constantly getting big cuts on his legs because when he would slide into base, the other players would get him with the bottom of their cleats. Jackie Robinson was on the Brooklyn Dodgers so many of his own teammates did not like him. Many of the pitchers from other teams threw the ball at him which gave him many bruises. Despite all of this, Jackie Robinson became a star in baseball and led the Brooklyn Dodgers to a World Series appearance. This example of Jackie Robinson shows that no matter how much adversity you go through, if you keep on working hard, you can achieve great things. Heroes also show the great quality of perseverance. Harriet Tubman is someone who showed exemplary perseverance. She was a slave that worked hard, but was still abused by her plantation owner. One day she decided...

... 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....

...Who is my hero? Well, a lot of people would say our troops. They are our hero, they fight for us every day. They fight for us to be able to say what we want, bare arms, not say a word, etc. Therefore, aren’t they our hero? Wait no, you said MY hero. Well I have a couple of heroes… but the most important, most significant hero in my life is this guy named John Carson. John Carson is my hero. He is my grandfather; but really he is my dad. The first reason he is my hero is because he saved me from a life that would probably not been so good. I met him when I was 2 years old. When I was about 5 years old my mom gave me to my grandparents; John and Rita Carson. He took me and my brother in. Which is about 14 years (this year). Me and my brother gave him about 573857837847258728 grey hairs since he got us, but he hasn’t stopped loving us, he has never left us, and he has never gave up. Papaw is my name for him. Papaw is my hero because I can walk up to him, crying or upset, and ask for a hug. And he will give me a hug. This makes him a hero to me because I don’t have a dad. He is my dad. So what this means to me, is that there is a man in my life who will be there for me when I’m upset about whatever it may be, he doesn’t care what the reason may be. He will comfort me. He will make me feel better. Sometimes that is what you need in your life, you don’t need to go to your mom, or grandmother in my case who “understands” you need to go to someone who won’t ask you what is wrong...

...remind me of a great deal about the women in today’s society. Women today and from the past had to face the same hardships. They had to rise up from their invisible constraints just to gain their equality. Women always had to fight to gain their gender liberation. I would like to compare my mom to Queen Elizabeth. My mom always reminded me of a military mom. She was very strict in her ways, even when it came to the dinner table. I remember she told me I could not have juice until I finished eating all my food. Even to this day I eat mostly all of my food, before I drink any kind of liquids. I tell people do not blame me, blame my mom. She made sure that she would not baby me in any way. My mom made sure to raise a man. When she saw me being picked on one day she made sure I would fight them no matter how big they are. She always told me life was hard. There will always be challenges in your life, but you do not run away from them. I guess she was talking from personal experience about when she found out she was pregnant. She did not run or hide from the fact she was having a child. She embraced it and acknowledged the fact that she was basically going to be a single mother. My father was always in and out of jail, so she knew she could not depend on him. In the same way I am like my mom. We are both realists. I hate when someone say they are going to do something, and they do not do it. My mom told me that a man does not lie and if he does he is...

...the quality of care will come down or suffer. The withdrawal of services will affect quality, if they are not covered or no longer funded than these services will no longer be provided. It seems that no matter what the reimbursement levels are it does not affect the quality of care given by the staff. The quality of care is still there, the options for seniors for long-term care types are independent living, retirement communities, care retirement communities, senior apartments, continuing care and nursing homes. Assisted living communities are for those seniors that can no longer live alone but do not need the care that nursing homes provide. These communities’ help with daily living, meals, medications and everyday living keep them living a normal life, but in a community that gives them help when needed. The nursing home long-term care provides round the clock skilled care....

...decided to interview my mom because I felt like she would have more information all my family's past and traditions . She is very open with the whole family, so I knew that she wouldn't keep anything from me or alter any information. Also no one in my family really wanted to sit down with me for about an hour, they said they didn’t care enough to do it. The following is a recollection of Of the 40 minute interview I conducted with my mother, Cynthia Iroegbu. Talking with my mother I found something really interesting about my family name, turns out my last name isn’t even Asimobi. My real last name is Shiwobi, which means the heart is deep everything starts from the heart both good and bad. What happened was that my grandfather on my...

...When I think back at what influenced me or made me want to become a counselor, there is not a certain event or a specific reason, but many that guided me towards this career option. I can say that it all started with my mom. My mom always had high expectations of me. These expectations were not in the sense of ‘you have to get straight A’s and become a rich doctor’, but more in the sense to encourage me to strive for and achieve higher education for my own benefit. My mom came from poverty and a broken home. She immigrated to United States to temporarily live with her father, who had abandoned her and her other siblings at a very young age. She saw immigration as an opportunity to escape poverty and help her family back home. My mom was and...

...of My Search When assigned this project, I did not know much of my name. So I thought, what does my name mean, and I began searching. Although finding little information, I found some. 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...

...to honor your mother, but sometimes I question that commandment. He has some nice thoughts and did some really great deeds, but that doesn’t mean he is all knowing. Don’t misunderstand me, I love my mother unconditionally, but once in awhile she is a walking contradiction. Mom tends to do things that cause me to throw my arms up in disbelief. She possesses some impressive qualities from her bravery and intelligence to her overpowering love. Unfortunately, she has some less than desirable qualities, especially her tedious anxiety, her questionable common sense, and her obsessive-compulsive behavior. One of my mom’s contradictions is how she can be both brave yet anxious. When she was diagnosed with cancer in 2012, my family panicked; if we lost her we would always be broken. However, Mom held us together like she always does, and we somehow made it through worry and treatments with only a few breakdowns and occasional tears. She is also braver than the rest of us when it comes to social interaction. Mom is the outgoing one in our family...
