Vietnam independence was achieved through conflict, since western powers responded to anticolonial movements by declaring war two times: 1946 and 1965. During World War II, France lost control of Vietnam because the country was defeated by Germany (722). Due to the France defeat, Vietnam had a weak internal government, which resulted in the invasion of Japanese’s forces into French Indochina (725). In 1946, France declared war against the Communist Party of Vietnam, led by Ho Chi Minh, who was fighting for liberation of colonial power (“The Cold War in Asia”). The war lasted 9 years and it resulted in the creation of two nation-states: North Vietnam controlled by Ho Chi Minh and South Vietnam controlled by Ngo Dinh Diem and supported by…

I strongly believe that if one is to be successful in society, setting goals and prioritizing them is very crucial. Having your goals set and prioritizing them does not only give you a clear focus on things you have to do, but it helps you to organize your plans so that you can set time limit and boundaries in achieving those goals. There are so many goals that I want to achieve my life. Since goals can only be achieved if they are realistic, timing and attainable, I have categorized my goals into long and short term goals.…

Starting from a place I remembered as a teen, moving from a place that was warm to a place that had all four seasons; such as winter, spring, summer and fall. The First place that I grew up was surrounded by mountains. During the winter it was full of white snow, something that I was never used to seeing coming from California where all one would see was sandy beaches and the waves clasping one another. As I remember being so new to Park City, UT all I could see was the wonderful views of trees, mountains and people skiing or snowboarding. I have to say this was a fond memory because for the firs time I was actually able to experience the feeling of what winter was…
The story that I chose is one I heard from a friend about a dog and the rusty nail. Everyday a man would walk past his neighbor’s porch and the dog was always sitting in one spot howling in pain. Eventually one day when the man walked by again and the dog was in the same spot howling, he stopped and asked the owner, “Why is your dog always howling like he’s hurt?” The neighbor replied, “My dog has been sitting on a rusty nail for weeks now.” The curious man questioned, “Why doesn’t the dog just move off of the nail?” The owner replied to him, “I guess it just doesn’t hurt badly enough for him to move.”…
There can be major physical changes and effects to a female’s body after having a child. In 2011 when I had my son the hospital gave me an epidural for the pain; they did the shot too high up on my back. As far as anyone knew I was fine. I showed no signs of problems until after I got out of the hospital, when I started having back spasms due to the fact that the epidural was done incorrectly. The female body goes through many natural changes; it prepares itself to be capable of having a child naturally and being capable of breastfeeding babies. It can also cause other effects that are not necessarily normal changes to the female body, for me the two main changes that I had were being anemic and having a hyperthyroid. The doctors told me that I was anemic because I had lost too much blood during labor and that the hyperthyroid was a result of my body changing after having my son but that it was nothing to worry about.…
Aesop’s fable “The Tortoise and the Hare” tells of an egotistical rabbit who boast about being the swiftest runner among all the animals; challenging all the other animals to race against him. To the rabbit’s surprise a seemingly lowly turtle accepts the challenge to race. The rabbit seems to find the turtle’s statement amusing and decides to race the turtle; thinking the turtle was no real competition. By standers gawked trying to dissuade the turtle who is committed to racing the rabbit regardless of the seeming imbalance and unfavorable odds. As the race begins, the rabbit makes the most of on his physical prowess and seamlessly advances beyond the turtle. Overvaluing this advantage, when the finish line on sight, the rabbit decides that he can rest and still win the race. During this break, the slow-moving turtle continued to move toward the finish line inching his way past the snoozing rabbit. Awaking from his rest, the rabbit soon realizes that the turtle has passed him and is approaching the finish line. Now frantic, the rabbit exerts all his energy to try to catch and move pass the turtle; in an effort to win the race. Unfazed, the turtle continues to inch forward toward the finish line; ever constant in pace and determination. As the hurried rabbit nears, the underestimated turtle victoriously crosses the finish line first, much to everyone’s surprise.…
