Kenowa Hills knows why I moved here or that I have a family that I never talk about. No one except for three people know truly why I am, who I am today. I just hate talking about it. The event itself and the events after are pretty awful, but I like to think that I’ve learned a lot about who I am through it all. Sundays were always hard because I never liked going back to Haslett. I love Grand Rapids and my mom and stepdad and I never wanted to leave for a whole week. That Sunday was probably the worst

The energy and enthusiasm they exhibit help keep people moving and interested. The differences in breeds allow you to select the size, temperament and level of security you desire. I am going to adopt a dog as a companion for my dog Jake and myself. I think it’s time you looked into adopting a dog yourself.

dysentery, you mean? Euc. Yes. Terp. Alas! what a loss he will be! Euc. Yes, Terpsion, he is a noble fellow; only to-day I heard some people highly praising his behaviour in this very battle. Terp. No wonder; I should rather be surprised at hearing anything else of him. But why did he go on, instead of stopping at Megara? Euc. He wanted to get home: although I entreated and advised him to remain he would not listen to me; so I set him on his way, and turned back, and then I remembered

start conjuring thoughts of solutions that can fix their problem. I could easily empathize with them on a personal level. My passion to help others grew more and more after each story told. Hearing these stories is what inspired me and filled my desire to become a social worker. That’s why I have dedicated myself to doing whatever it takes to make this lifelong dream of mine a reality. I believe that being a social worker requires many special skills that I feel I possess. One of these skills that

was that Therese strived for child like faith from god when her dad was sick. I feel Therese really needed people to give her attention, talk to her, and show her she is strong and could get through it. God became a “fatherly figure” to her, and I think that is a really heart warming thing. Sometimes people strive for that attention for some people that they act childish, and that can be essential to your faith.

When I hear the word “poverty” I automatically think of homeless people, but poverty can stretch to even the wealthiest people. I believe that everyone at some point in their lives struggles from poverty, whether it be emotional, social, spiritual, or financial. The type that stood out to me in the Catcher in the Rye, 12 Angry Men, and in my life was emotional poverty. Emotional and mental poverty can be hard to deal with and in these circumstances were all dealt with differently. In The Catcher

This article described the feeling of being overwhelmed along with frustration. I think this was a good article because being a human service worker should not assume that things will be easy. Challenges will be thrown at you and I think this article connects with the case manager’s emotional and social feelings within their work place. This relates to my volunteer site because my case manager does face some frustrations sometimes when she has to work with families. The challenges in a job are real

Ellie Austin 0536816 # 6 Dear Lawrence Weschler, Your essay, Vermeer in Bosnia, I have found to be fascinating. Recently, while at the Frick Collection, I had taken yet another look at Vermeer and found myself viewing the paintings in the light of Vermeer in Bosnia. The Europe of Vermeer’s youth was as scarred, scary and violent as Bosnia during the Balkan war. There is a strikingly unexpected connection between the high art and the horrors of war crimes

Running Home It was the bottom of the eighth inning on a perfect night for baseball. It was a close game tied at two runs with two outs. My teammate Julio was on first base and I was on second ready to run. Our best hitter was at the plate and I just knew he could get us a hit to take the lead. Our best shot to win was now, and I needed to make it around third as soon as I hear the bat connect. My heart was racing in anticipation, I wanted badly to score the winning run. The count reached
