Upon our arrival at 8 AM, we met with Monique Lisa Dominguez who showed us around, and provided us with an office where we could leave our belongings. After setting up, my partner David and I approached the few people who were already in the room. We had the opportunity to educate parents ( both male and female) and pregnant women on the differences between the cold and the flu as well as on the importance of getting the flu shot. We stayed there until 11:15 AM , and we are planning on to being there around the same time for the remaining of the quarter. The only issue we encountered was the fact that many of the people there were Spanish speakers. David was able to manage most of the conversations, but he was not…
In the colonial United States up to seventeen hundred, most of the settlers inhabiting the land happened to be of English origin. Although, they came from the same whereabouts, the two poles of the colonies, north and south, developed two distinct societies. For example, in the New England area the settlers developed an egalitarian, unified, and organized atmosphere, while in the Chesapeake region residents created an aristocratic, unloyal, and scattered environment. But, if they are of the same origin, how did they develop such divergent societies? This difference was a result of opposite immigration and settlement patterns, and motives.…

While Ernest Hemingway's “A Soldier's Home” and Tim O’Brien’s “How to Tell a War Story” are both pieces focusing on war and the profound impact it has on the minds of soldiers that go through it, they both differ in many ways.…
I was too inexperienced for the First War. I’m in the trenches between the borders of France and Germany. There were many soldiers lying dead on there. It was so wet, moist, and muddy that I saw many of them with necrosis and gangrene on their feet, due to keeping their foot on the trench’s filthy water. They said that this condition was so painful and agonizing that they were forced to amputate them to end the pain. Luckily, I wasn’t many of the soldiers with this infection. I hope you guys are okay, I might come back home alive til the war ends. Love you mom and…

When you are someone’s support system you take on multiple roles that indirectly deteriorate your self preservation. Being a listener or a shoulder to cry on, requires sacrifices that, in the moment, you do not even recognize as imposing. Voluntarily and willingly being there for someone begins with the unwavering doubt that you and your own problems cannot and will not prevail over your person’s immediate crisis. Depending on the duration of your duty, a somewhat selfish thought of inconvenience is bound to surface. But, that wave of retraction is almost always combatted by a riptide of dedication and loyalty that brings you back to sea, where all you can do is tread. In turn, the suppression of self regarding issues regularly comes with a layer of obligation and a sting of bitterness.…
I have never been astounded by such marvelous architecture until I laid my eyes on Soldier Field in Chicago, Illinois. Soldier Field seemed like a dragon, just engulfing everyone who was spectating the Mexico vs Bosnia game on May 2011. When I first laid eyes on the monstrosity, I was very intimidated. The thought of entering this behemoth marveled me and made me even more excited to enter and watch the Mexico soccer game that I was anxiously waiting for! Chicago itself is a marvelous city with hidden gems scattered throughout, like Soldier Field. The cold air of Lake Michigan stung my skin and felt like shards of ice piercing my body. Soldier Field, in Chicago, is a monstrosity of a place. Going there to watch a Mexico soccer game was like going into the eye of a storm.…
Twenty- one. A guard of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier takes twenty-one steps during his walk across. This number alludes to the twenty-one gun salute, the highest honor given any military of foreign dignitary. The guards hold their task in their highest regards. They look their ability to guard the Tomb of the Unknown in highest regards. Similarly, it would be an indescribable honor for me to be able to lay the wreath upon the Tomb. Three reasons why it would be such an honor to be able to lay the wreath are, it would be personal as I have family and friends who have served, I am mature enough to realize the deeper meaning of this monument, and lastly I am able to understand how important this memorial to many people. Those are the…
