Personal Narrative: My Adirondack Chair
Do you have a drama-free zone? My Adirondack chair is mine! When I sit in my chair, I am transported almost immediately and feel:

-Calm

-Peaceful

-Connected (to me)

-Happy

-Creative

In other words, this chair is a 100% drama-free zone! I guess it's like a grown-up time-out chair! It has the power to melt away the "issues" of the day and my family knows that when I am planted here - even if just for 10 minutes, that this is me time. My old Adirondack chair has shared books with me, some tear, thoughts, no thoughts, songs, writing and lots of love and gratitude.

When I worked in corporate, there was a time when I was returning to work after being out with a month-long illness that had totally zapped my energy. I had to acclimate back to

    Day 1 On Planet Ajax Monologue

    Dr. Atticus Brent, Jacobs Corp, Day 1 on Planet Argolis. My officers have decided to send me to this planet, in search of supposed alien artifacts that were found on this planet. The same kind of find that made our competitors, the FEAT Corporation, the industrial giants that they are today. In my opinion, a kind of find this big on such a desolate rock would seem absurdly rare. It's been only a few hours on this planet, and I already know it's going to be the death of me.…

    Three types of powers that were designed to different levels of government in The Constitution are enumerated powers, implied powers, and reserved powers. Enumerated powers are powers specifically delegated to the congress by the US Constitution. They are listed in Article 1, Section 8. These powers affect the distribution of powers between state and national governments because enumerated powers are strictly given to congress/National government which mean only they can exercise these powers. This also means that the states can’t exercise these powers. An example of an enumerated power is to create and write new federal laws. Concurrent powers are powers that are delegated to both the state and national governments. These powers allow the national and state government to share some powers and are allowed to do some of the same things. These things include the power to tax, make roads, borrow money, and the power to make lowers courts. Reserved powers are powers in The Constitution specifically reserved to the states. The powers are listed in The Constitution and in the Bill Of Rights (10th Amendment). These powers affect the distribution of powers between the state and national governments because only the states can exercise the powers listed. An example of a reserved power is to create state highways.…

    Personal Narrative: The Forty-Two-Room House

    Having the luxury of great health and family, it can be difficult for me to see outside the realm of comfortability and see the daily hardships people experience. There are so many people without housing, stability, and monetary resources, and these people often find themselves wondering where they can find help and figure out what to do next during trying times. One place people can reach out for assistance is Ronald McDonald House Charities. The nonprofit provides housing and food for families with a critically ill child in the hospital. The forty-two room house aims to provide comfort and support for families living through their worst nightmare. The charity provides this support by its network of staff and volunteers who prepare food for…

    Personal Narrative: A Bonesetters World

    My occupation has evolved into what you know today as chiropractic or osteopathy. When I first started practicing, we called it bonesetting. Bonesetting is the treatment of disease and manipulation to joints and bones in the body. Bonesetting does treat disease; however, we do not classify ourselves among the physicians of the time. We maintain our own guild or group that share information amongst itself and learn from each other. We are also rather religious in that generations ago, our bonesetting fathers and mothers began the skill by casting out demons with every crackle and pop of the joints.…

    Personal Narrative: My Cabin

    I was a camp counselor at Camp Wabikon ‒ a co-ed overnight summer camp located in Temagami, Ontario for children who are 6-15 years of age. Along with teaching Red Cross swimming and lifesaving and Tennis, I was my cabin's 'parent' for six weeks. Therefore, I was present with the children at all times. In essence, I was the leader of my cabin's the physical, social and mental development. The main things I learned were the importance of time management and organization , as I had to plan lessons for swimming and Tennis while taking care of my cabin; conflict resolution between campers; and the ability to plan and foresee events (I had to plan camp-wide events and activities for all campers).…

    Tardiness and Military Bearing

    I’m writing this paper because I failed to plan my medication properly around my work schedule. Punctuality is the characteristic of being able to complete a required task or fulfill a moral duty before or at a previously-designated time. Dependability, accountability, consistency and discipline are all crucially related to being on time. Furthermore, promptness also shows that the individual Sailor aims high and has their priorities straight. However, being where one needs to be at the appointed time will always be one of the most important aspects of being a Sailor. Tardiness I a great detriment for the command and a work center let alone a small detachment of personnel. When an individual is absent for whatever period of time it puts the work center or detachment at a deficient for the not only the loss of manpower but also especially if there is a need for an individual’s qualifications of skill at with certain tasks or events. This loss can have unknown consequences in the form of not being able to complete a mission or vital event which can lead to anything from personal embarrassment to endangering lives. Dependability is a major aspect of military bearing. Without dependability, one can neither perform properly in the workspace nor be depended upon by their coworkers, or chain of command to carry out their military duties adequately. A military member is required to be punctual, and reliable. Showing reliability is an indication to senior personnel you have the necessary skills to lead but that you also have to maturity and self-reliability to be trusted to lead. Not only if Tardiness also detracts from general well-being and military bearing. For putting a supervisor or other personnel in compromising positions it could cause problem with other in the work center. As services members, military bearing is a vast assortment of rules and ethics that govern our everyday life. Military bearing has a lot to do with all with all…

    A Feminist's View

    A feminist criticism is an approach to literature that seeks to correct or supplement what may be regarded as a predominantly male-dominated critical perspective with a feminist consciousness (Meyer 1658). The excerpt from A Secret Sorrow and “A Sorrowful Woman” are great from a feminist point of view. Both of these stories are about marriage and family, but their points of view are different. How would a feminist critic view the characters willingness to want a family or willingness to be separated from her family? How would a feminist critic analyze the time period of the two stories? What would a feminist critic say about the male leads? You are about to find out!…

    Personal Narrative: An Outsider

    There has been many cases in which I have helped an outsider feel welcome. One time in particular is when I played tag with this little boy at church since he was new and no one else played with him. Originally, I was outside eating candy and talking to my friends at church. I noticed that this little boy was standing all alone watching all the other little kids play without him. I thought that maybe he was upset so I went over to him and asked if he wanted the rest of my gummy worms. He seemed nervous at first, but eventually he started talking to me. I learned that he was five years old and he was visiting his grandparents for the weekend. His older brother was outside playing basketball with some of the other older boys at the church, and…

    My Life Is a Routine

    I worked at Papa John’s and Clyde, the manager, always seemed to be in a bad mood. That day started out the same, with Clyde and his bad mood. This didn’t shock me in the least. Due to this, I would simply grab an order, slip out, and start my work. I was doing my routine and zoning out in an effort to make it through the day. Needless to say, I felt my life was so routine and boring that I wished I was anywhere but there. You might say I felt sorry for myself.…
