...On June 1st 1999 I was born to two lovely parents in Maryland and couple years later I had a brother. My parents were both born and raised in Pakistan which meant that they had grown up with a completely different culture than the culture in America. My family has played a major role in who I am today. They have passed on many of the same values that they shared on to me. To me religion, family, culture and education are the most important aspects of life and have greatly influenced my upbringing. My dad who’s a businessman has taught me to become hardworking and to always happy and my mom who’s a housewife has taught me how important family is. Having a younger brother has constantly encouraged me to become my best so he could have a good...

...English 1302-63460 24 January 2015 Relaxation on the beach One of the most interesting things that happen to me was going to Galveston, Texas. I usually like to try and visit all types of places. However, Galveston was completely different than any other place that I had ever been. I was so weird to see a place that was below sea level at some spots and above it to where you could see it in other. It is a beautiful beach there, I loved looking into the ocean and actually relaxing and being able to look out and see all the different types of activities that people do. I can remember the one other time I went to a beach it was completely different the sand was dirty and it has so much debris in it that was never cleaned up. However this time it was not any trash on the beach there were people who were actually surfing on the waves and lying on the beach sunbathing. It was so surreal it was like watching a movie that we have all seen as children about what an actual beach looks like. It was even more amazing that I was there to watch a dance competition for a group of young ladies who are beyond talented and I am proud to say that I know them personally. Personally, I have always thought of the beach as my hideaway spot that I would love to run away to if I was ever stressed or lost or scared. I feel that would be the place to take my mind off it and even just give me a chance to actually think about the best way to handle what is going on and also make the most of the...

...Sunday Fun Day. Well let me take a minute to explain how that came about and is the most exciting hobby I have and share with my family. Growing up in the country my nanny always had Sunday dinner cooked. I can almost smell and taste it now. She cooked that soul food as some call it. Every Sunday we would gather and stuff ourselves. I use to love dessert but my mom wouldn’t let us even taste it if our plates were not cleaned. I can still remember sitting on the counter while nanny stirred the batter for her pound cake or that yummy red velvet cake. When our dinner was over we would all run down to the river and jump in. Now that I am older and have family of my own, which are my two boys Rodney and Patrick. Sometimes we have a visit from...

...Frank Abagnale was an intelligent man. One of the most successful con men in history, Frank lived as a pilot, doctor, lawyer and an FBI agent all before his 21st birthday. His primary technique was defrauding banks using different fake check schemes eventually amounting to over 2.5 million dollars. Along with a friend, Frank wrote his story which was later turned into an autobiographical film starring Leonardo DiCaprio and directed by Steven Speilberg. Much of what Frank accomplished in the film defied believability. Throughout the film Frank is creating different identities to try and make some money, but even though his name is changed his personality seems to remain the same. From the beginning his father, Frank Sr., is a huge role model for him and becomes the source of Frank’s longing for acceptance and appreciation. Once his parents are divorced Frank just wants everything to be ok and to have the perfect family back together, no matter the cost. In his eyes, his father just needs to win his mother back with a better life and material things when in reality, the relationship has been over for quite some time, a truth made clearly evident by his mother’s affair. Unable to deal with the stress of choosing which parent to live with, Frank runs away and soon realizes he needs to find a way to make money quickly. He first begins to create fake checks at different banks, scamming them out of hundreds of dollars and eventually realizing he needs to find a different...

...Doug likes to take 12 weeks to peak, but it could vary a little because of an injury or something but this is the basic cycle he likes to follow. The first four weeks he uses 4 sets of 6 reps in the bench press. On the 4th set he goes limit. He uses each rep as a 5-pound indicator for his next workout. He starts the cycle at 400 lbs. Example – 400 x 6, 400 x 6, 400 x6, 400 x limit (e.g. 10) So, from the last set, five pounds for each rep over six would work out to (10 reps minus 6) 4 times 5 (five pound for each rep over six)equals 20 (pounds more next workout). Example (next workout) – 420 x 6, 420 x 6, 420 x 6, 420 x 8. Many 4-20’s! Then, by following the same plan – 2 reps more than 6 in the last set equals a 10 lb. weight increase at the next workout. The highest he has reached in this program is 470 pounds for 4 sets of 6. These workouts fall twice a week of every fourth day, as desired and as his work schedule with the railroad with the railroad with the railroad allows. After 4 weeks Doug goes to a double program. One workout is the same 4 sets of 6, and the next workout is 5 sets of 3. This runs for 4 weeks or up to 4 weeks before the meet. At that time he does only 5 sets of 3 for 2 weeks. 2 weeks before the meet he goes to 5 sets of 2, timing it where he gets three workouts in but rests for five days before the meet. In past programs he had done one limit set of reps at the end of his workout with anywhere from 50 to 100 lbs. under what he was working with his...

I hope, by the end of this, that I will be able to understand, on a deeper level, what it means to truly serve the community, to be a great leader, and how to successfully maintain the work-life balance. Organization Description Since its early beginnings in 1869, founded by the Sisters of Charity of the Incarnate Word, CHRISTUS Santa Rosa has made it their mission "to extend the healing ministry of Jesus Christ," and do so by offering their medical services to communities all over the city. The Sisters, from Galveston, heeded the call from the Catholic bishop of Texas to care for the multitude of sick, infirm, and orphaned in the Texas frontier during a cholera epidemic in San Antonio. When the sisters arrived in San Antonio, the population was only 12,000 and there was no public hospital - until the sisters founded CHRISTUS Santa Rosa Hospital ("About Us", 2015). Santa Rosa...

...members during the 1840’s alone. Nathaniel Hawthorne: A Letter from Brook Farm is just one of many primary documents preserving firsthand accounts of life in these communities. There are enough primary sources in enough detail such that Sterling F. Delano was able to create a secondary source, providing some evaluation and analysis in what has been referred to as a standard for a starting point when researching these societies in the book Brook Farm: The Dark Side of Utopia. Brook Farm was actually far from singular as a utopia experiment. In The Americanization of Utopia: Fourierism and the Dilemmma of Utopian Dissent in the United States an article by Carl J. Guarneri. Guarneri points out many such communities and experiments took place in the 1800’s. The Harmonys in Pennsylvania and New Harmony in Indianna, Onieda in New York, the list goes on although daily life Brook Farm, as was experienced by one of the community members, Nathanial Hawthorne, being the subject of the primary source of this paper. Brook Farm is seen as a trivial contribution by some writers, Guarneri’s article states the contrary that while Brook Farm is one of many experiments it was an important part of the utopian experiments of the time. Other secondary sources, reviews of Brook Farm: The Dark Side of Utopia from Leigh E. Schmidt, Alison Easton and Carl J. Guarneri also indicate that Brook Farm was more than just a minor contributor to the utopian experiments of the 1800’s. The Brook Farm experiment...
