Gryffindors' reunion. 首先请允许我说一声谢谢。哈佛不仅给了我无上的荣誉，连日来为这个演讲经受的恐惧和紧张，更令我减肥成功。这真是一个双赢的局面。现在我要做的就是深呼吸几下，眯着眼睛看看前面的大红横幅，安慰自己正在世界上最大的魔法学院聚会上。 Delivering a commencement address is a great responsibility; or so I thought until I cast my mind back to my own graduation. The commencement speaker that day was the distinguished British philosopher Baroness Mary Warnock. Reflecting on her speech has helped me enormously in writing this one, because it turns out that I can't remember a single word she said. This liberating

Business Ethics Kohlberg’s Scale Kohlberg identifies three major levels in the moral development of an individual (DeGeorge, 22). After reading the text on Kohlberg’s scale I consider myself to be a little bit on Level I, but for the most part I feel that I am on Level II.

My Experience My Experience Glenn T. McCain Jr. Psy/230 One experience that has influenced my personality would be my decision to move from Nevada to New York after graduating high school. Two months after I graduated I left home to move to New York and attend a university there. I didn’t know anyone, and I had no idea what to expect. I had always been a pretty quiet person, and I often found it hard to make friends because of how shy I was. Several weeks after arriving on campus I realized

Core Values Reading Essay Michele Katora Ms. Bonacci 11.6.2014 Marywood University’s definition of empowerment is stated as “access to education that enables all to achieve their full potential to live as conscientious citizens in a pluralistic society”.

Oluchi Mmeli Okeke 1st September 2015 It was the 9th of July 2014. The day I finally knew that I really wasn’t a child anymore.

Defining the “Good Life” Growing up my dad always told me that I will never be able to look back at everything I accomplished and say “I made it,” he said I might be able to when I retire but not anytime soon.

In that moment I was focussed on one thing, the “good life.” In that moment, as I powered down
