It all started with a simple phone call one night after dinner. “Joe,” my father hollered by the stairs, “it’s for you. It’s Jackie, and she sounds excited.” As I came downstairs to pick up the phone, I was not ecstatic. I was tired and had looked forward to a nice muted evening at home not another irrelevant adventure with Jackie.

Over the course of the semester, I have learned many things about myself and other people with the help of EDPS 315. Initially, I was skeptical of this class and everything it would involve, but I found myself enjoying more every time I went to class. This class was much different than most of the classes required for my major, which is pharmacy. I saw my active listening skills improve with the integration of emotional labeling. Also, I found my confidence and willingness to participate or initiate

meaning always hides behind the words, such as how environment cages us. In the first stanza, Tom talks about that there is only you and your shadow here, and how our lives are on repeat. It made me feel trapped and isolated. It is terrifying to think that pretty much everyday is the same thing, “first song same as last song”. Do you ever get a feeling that no matter what you seem to do; you keep winding up in the same place, with the same individuals, in the same locations? Maybe

that he needed to be more on top of things and if he seen an issue arise he needed to step in quickly to fix the problem. When the supervisor laid out the rules and responsibilities, you could tell that some employees did not like what they were hearing from the supervisor and felt that some things he was saying should be part of their jobs.

Dorothy: I totally agree humility is important in the creation of communion. Yet, I think communion can also be formed through the marginalized. I am sure both of you remember this, but an impactful event in my life was the execution of Italian Catholic Radicals, Sacco and Vanzetti. More than likely, these two men were innocent and this horrified myself and a lot of the country. Yet, Sacco’s and Vanzetti’s death symbolized a much bigger picture in the United States. They represented all the people

block out how hungry I was but, hunger got the best of me. I instantly regretted not eating before leaving the pack, so I stopped to hunt. I looked around for a while and saw a deer. Just the though of that deer made my mouth water. I didn't stop to think of how I was going to get it I just started chasing after it. It got away quickly. I didn't know what happened or what went wrong. I actually though I did it perfectly. I then heard a low growl. Not knowing where it was coming from I run running right

TOK Essay "When the only tool you have is a hammer, all problems begin to resemble nails.” (Abraham Maslow) How might this apply to ways of knowing, as tools, in the pursuit of knowledge? Have you ever wondered why and how your logic becomes restricted once confronting a problem? Abraham Maslow once stated “I suppose it is tempting, if the only tool you have is a hammer, to treat everything as if it were a nail”, which I believe could be understood as a statement questioning the

a moment in which I heard it. Whenever I heard “dating down” it was usually about someone dating someone who was younger than them, but in the book Meg says “[Cathy] never chose her boyfriends or sex partners; she let them choose her.” (Jay 101). Hearing this I take dating down to mean you’re just going for anyone that comes to you and accepting it. The phrase really does put things in perspective; you’re basically dating less than what you can really get to feel some sort of love; which I guess is
