Civilians in Space---No! I can only imagine what it would be like traveling to space. It is not something I sit around and think about doing. Those who had the pleasures of going to space, like the astronauts, are those who had been preparing for such a career. This does not make me want to go to space, going to space is like dying and going to the other side, you just do not know what to expect. Science tells us that space is like a never ending hole. This sounds a little creepy, but space...

01/24/12 Yosemite Writing Assignment Over the past few years, I have had a couple of experiences in the wilderness. These experiences include hikes in Altadena and a few hikes on Camelback Mountain in Arizona. However, while I found these experiences highly enjoyable, the greatest one I have had would have to be a previous trip to Yosemite I went on with my family. Upon my initial arrival at the site of the giant sequoias , I stood in awe of the natural beauty surrounding me. I had never...

How is the fish characterized? Is it simply a weak victim because it “didn’t fight”? Comment on lines 65-76. In what sense has “victory filled up” the boat, given the fact the speaker finally let the fish go? In this poem called “The Fish”, Elizabeth Bishop describes the experience of a man who caught a “tremendous fish” (1). I personally don’t think the fish is characterized as a simple victim. In the poem it describes how the fish didn’t fight to get away which gave the fisherman...

Travel is always the greatest recreation for most people. It can enable us to not only accumulate our knowledge about history, culture, geography, but also reduce daily stress and make ourselves relax. Some people like to travel with companions, other people believe that it is better to travel alone. From my point of view, I prefer to travel myself. And I will attempt to elaborate my opinions in following paragraphs. First, it is more free to travel alone. I do not need to consider of...

Nowadays people say that not everyone is capable of upbringing a child. Parenthood, which used to be a natural status for almost anyone, is now the source of long debates among couples and a very profitable field to writers and publishers. First of all, a good parent should be a good listener, a person who understands what his or her child needs. Parents that listen are supportive people who put aside their high expectations and will keep their ears open for their young offspring, ready to...

It is generally agreed today that national service is compulsory for each SPM leaver. National service was first started around the year of 2004. The SPM leavers are randomly selected to enter the national service. As directed by the Ministry of Education of Malaysia,it is compulsory for each selected youth to participate in this programme. Actions will be taken if they do not participate in it. I personally agreed that compulsory national service is good for the youth. One must admit that...

The Loss of Creature During this essay written by Walker Percy, it is clear that his overall opinion of experiencing new things is in the eye of the beholder and/or the hands of those around them and their social status. Percy uses many examples in his writing including that of an explorer, tourist, and local all seeing things for the first time either literally or in a new different light. In this essay, I will play on both sides of regaining experiences, seeing things on a different level...

Perhaps you've given a few presentations but felt frustrated with the result, or you're thinking of being a presenter but may not know where to start. What seasoned speakers know is this - it's all about the audience, not you. How do you prepare efficiently while keeping your audience's needs in mind. (Gilman, S. 2012). You should know at least the size, age, and education and experience of your group before you prepare your talk. One way to do this is ask your host or simply ask the audience...

Seth 10/6/13 Walker Percy Essay An epiphany: a sudden realization of great truth. No piece of writing has affected me at a level even remotely close to what this essay has. In the Loss of the Creature by Walker Percy, so many fallacies of modern day society are exposed for what they truly are. I discovered that I, along with the majority of society have been letting myself be swayed hopelessly by the perceptions and expectations of others. A perfect example of this was my first thoughts...

 “Pain and foolishness lead to great bliss and complete knowledge, for Eternal Wisdom created nothing under the sun in vain.” This quote is by Khalil Gibran, and the meaning behind this quote is very powerful and relates a lot to Oedipus Rex in the idea that people do indeed gain knowledge through the grief and suffering pain experienced in life. Sometimes we try to push out or hide the from the pain and at the end we come to encounter that there is no way of hiding rather than...

We need to honour their wishes to the best of our ability. 1.2 Dementia is not solely an older people's condition. In the UK there are over 17,000 people under the age of...

Assessment of Practicum Program I had my practicum program at AV Tidoso and Company, a one company I’ll always be thankful of working with.

With all the experiences and constructive criticisms I had with them, I can say that I have grown emotionally and mentally. They taught me a lot of things that school can never provide. They’re like family to me and being in the...
