The Navajo people washed and dried themselves. Then they heard the gods four times on the 12th day. The god appeared before them they carried a rarer buck skin and two ears of corn. The gods put the buck skin down with its head in the west then the two ears faced the east. Then the feather of a white eagle under the yellow eagle feather. Moments later two humans appeared one man one woman.…
We Americans have a comfortable lifestyle, for the most part. A large part of being comfortable comes from the use of natural resources. Freon keeps your refrigerators and homes cool in the summer. Liquid propane, kerosene, and other natural gases keep your houses warm in the winter. Oil is used for so many products it is mindboggling. Not only is it used to create the gasoline, jet fuel, diesel, and other fuels to propel our transportation, but is used to lubricate those engines as well. It’s not just transportation engines it is used to lubricate; it is used…

The Genre: You’re familiar with the book and movie reviews that appear in newspapers, magazines, and websites. They are just one kind of evaluative writing, but from them we can identify the key components of the genre. First, there is the object to be evaluated. Often this is a single thing—a music CD, a scholarly study, a corporation—but it can also be an idea or process: the impact of a particular band on rock history, the importance of a new trend in scholarly opinion, or the management practices used by a particular sector of industry. Second, there are the criteria…
I graduated from Moanalua High School with an Honor Diploma because I reached the requirements and I also did Senior Project. To me, Senior Project helped me choose what I really want to become in the future, which is to become a Pediatric Neurologist. By taking Senior Project, I got to shadow my Pediatric Neurologist doctor and learn what he does for a living and what made him want to become who is now. In Hawaii, there are only five Pediatric Neurologist in total, counting my doctor, in the State of Hawaii. What made me want to become a Pediatric Neurologist is to help children that are in need, and I wanted to add numbers to the doctors in Hawaii. But what really made me want to become one was that I wanted to feel that feeling that every doctor feels when they…
When I was 18, my family took a trip to Cancun for Spring Break. I absolutely loved the beaches and palm trees, the white sand, hot sun and blue waves. Ever since then I have had a real passion for tropical islands. My favorite and perhaps the most beautiful Islands I've researched are the Cayman Islands. I've only seen pictures and heard stories but I've already decided that's where I am getting married. I still however, don't know anything about the islands. My love for these islands and my thirst for knowledge on the topic has driven me to do more research and find out the history behind the Cayman Islands. I want to know everything about them, so far the only thing I know is that there are three islands, Grand…
Last fall our school board decided to make it mandatory for students to attend school year-round. There were many issues to look at before making this decision. I feel that year round school can both benefit and hurt children. There are many issues that people are for and against for year round schooling. What will happen to kids who have summer jobs or even part time jobs? Employers look for kids who are willing to work during the summer months when there are more activities going on in our community. During the school year students can only work part time and during the summer they are able to work more hours. When school is out during the winter months, things are slower, so business is slow. When this happens, it decreases will decrease…

Exercise 1: Sandy is considering moving from her apartment into a small house with a fenced yard. The apartment is noisy, and she has a difficult time studying. In addition, the fenced yard would be great for her dog. The distance from school is much the same from the house and from the apartment. The apartment costs $750 per month, and she has two months remaining on her lease. The lease cannot be broken, so Sandy must pay the last two months of rent whether she lives there or not. The rent for the house is $450 per month, plus utilities, which average $100 per month. The apartment is furnished; the house is not. If Sandy moves into the house, she will need to buy furniture immediately. She located the furniture at a discount store for $500.…
To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee is a novel that was published in 1960, the times where our nation had segregation and injustice amongst the colored and the whites. Racism presents itself in many ways in the town of Maycomb. Some are blatant and open, but others are more insidious. The plot focuses on a lawyer, Atticus Finch, and how he defends a colored man, Tom Robinson, who is wrongly accused of raping a white woman, Mayella Ewell. When they go to trial Tom is automatically a victim of injustice when they find him guilty of rape just because he is black (Normney 5). om Robinson’s trial, and in fact his entire life, was badly affected by racism. It is truly a testament to the corruption of society when a person who has earned a bad reputation is held in higher esteem than a person who was born with it, as is the case with Bob Ewell and Tom Robinson. Even though Tom was obviously honest in his testament, the jury sided with Bob Ewell because he was white. They made this decision despite the fact that the Ewell family was widely known to be a worthless part of society. Jem, not being racially prejudiced, could not understand this mentality. As Atticus pointed out, “If you (Jem) had been on the jury, son, and eleven other boys like you, Tom would be a free man.” (Lee 7).…
Most students enjoy summer vacation, but some educators feel like the summer breaks are too long and students do not retain information as easily when they return in the fall. I believe that we should not have year round school because students and teachers have important responsibilities, personal time, and school and work obligations.…
American public education started with the Common School concept and by the middle of the nineteenth century many of the themes that defined public schools in America were in place. Various reasons for the Common School movement themes are still practice in public schools today such as, schools as managers of public thoughts, racial and ethnic conflicts, equal opportunity for all children, and moral reform. The two most significant themes, which have impacted public education and children are, globalization and cultural domination.…
As seasons change, and the school year progresses, many students lose that “first day of school excitement” (I know that I do!) (parenthesis) that they once felt. So how do we regain that joy that once filled us? The answer is simple, year round school. Having school year round will enable students to expand their knowledge, decrease the time during which kids are idle when they tend to get into the most trouble, and reduce the stress levels of both teachers and students.…
The high school has been a great experience for me and I love how I have spent it so far. I have created so many memories with my friends and had a lot of help from my teachers that helped me become the person I am today. With everyone I have been with at this school, they made my high school year great. All the school activities I have done made it better for me, especially in sports.…
Organizational behavior is the study of attitudes and behaviors of people in an organization. Human attitudes and behaviors regulate efficiency of any organization. The approach of organizational behavior is the system approach. It interprets people and organization relationships. The purpose is to build better relationships by achieving human, organizational, and social objectives. I am diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis and I am in and out of the hospital on a normal basis. I noticed over the years that there are many challenges and opportunities today in hospital facilities dealing with organizational behavior.…
