Tom wondered for what seemed to be the millionth time why Dectives were required to dress like wall-street bankers or stock analysts. At least that was the expectation in public, however the moment he had the office to himself, he unknotted his tie, slipped off the linen suit jacket, and undid the top button of his shirt, then sat back in his chair, raised his eyes to the ceiling, and tapped the tip of a ballpoint pen against his teeth. That was Tom's usual mode of concentration and contemplation, and so intent was the man's focus on the new case that all else slipped from his mind, even the recollection that he'd texted his wife. Therefore, the sudden familiar sound of her voice, accompanied by the enticing aroma of barbecue, startled him, and he immediately shot upright. The sight of Lila elicited a smile that only widened with the greeting and kiss. "Sorry baby."…

Virginia stated that after this, Enrique left the house and she called the Police for help.…

The movie I chose was Legally Blonde. Just like anyone else Elle Woods wanted to be accepted or like by someone. Rather if that’s by their parent(s), friend, or boyfriend/girlfriend. Elle was a normal young lady, who is petite, with blonde hair and blue eyes. Not only did she have the looks, but she was also rich. But she portrayed as a dumb blonde. So once her boyfriend broke up with her, Elle went and join Harvard Law School, in order to get Warner back. Once into Law School, you can’t miss all the disputes, self-disclosure, and power amongst each characters. In my paper, I will share my opinion on what the movie is showing about communication, analyze the role of communication between each characters and their relationship, as well as power and conflict issues.…
After receiving all the growth opportunities from you and Tina were great because now I know where I need to improve on as a counselor. However, as I walked out of the counseling room and was finally able to absorb and sort through all the strengths and growth opportunities that was about my role as the group leader, it dawn to me how ineffective of a group leader I was. This gut punching feelings made me question whether or not this career path was suited for me. By not processing certain thoughts with members or challenging them was a disservice for them. I was so consume with this disgusted feeling that I sat in my car in the school parking lot for half an hour just sitting with my thoughts and feelings. I know that I am my worst critic…
The setting of a story is rarely ever just a place. The setting serves a purpose that helps add to the story being told. Truman Capote’s novel In Cold Blood is set in the small country town of Holcomb. He illustrates a tightly knit, religious, secluded town for his audience to identify with. Capote uses Holcomb to connect with his audience and as an ironic element, which in turn creates and adds to the emotional impact brought with the murders.…
I felt a fire starting up inside of me. My mom thinks I am a baby and can't handle things on my own. I felt adrenaline hit me like a mad bull. " I am a big boy I can handle anything," I angrily shouted. I got my moms big mirror, and with all my strength I tried to carry it up to our apartment. One of my shoes were untied, and I was beginning to lose my balance, my mom's mirrored weight about 25 pounds and were about 4 feet wide and 4 feet long. For a small skinny guy like me, that was pretty big and heavy to carry all the way to the apartment. Eventually, I lost all my balance and fell the stairs. I was able to stop myself by holding on to the ramp, but as I held on to the ramp, I quickly noticed I had let go of my mom's mirror. That mirror flew down the stairs, and once it hit the ground, it immediately shattered like all how my behind was going be after she was done with giving me whoopings. My mother saw the whole event happen before her eyes. I didn't even want to look at her facial expression, I already knew what was coming for me, I held my butt tight and was praying that I would still have a tail left over when she was through with…
Role playing for me is very anxiety inducing. I am not a good public speaker and I hate it when all the attention is on me. I am an introvert to the core. Going into the role play I was nervous and uncomfortable and was anticipating a challenging experience. After seeing the other role plays I knew that the topic I would cover would not be an easy one, but honestly in life when in life are topics ever easy?…

Have you ever met someone who has the "perfect job" - like the animal lover who's a great veterinarian or the science whiz who's a lab technician? What about the people who are good at what they do - but hate getting up every morning to go do it?…
I gazed down the pitch, the sun beating down on me. I stood in ready position desperately waiting for some action. One of my allies had the soccer ball at his feet and was dribbling down the field. I was currently a defender on the right side of the pitch. A player on the opposing team took the ball with a swift swipe of his foot. Now he dribbled down the right side of the field right at me. It wasn't until he was about 20 yards away from me that I realized how massive this kid was. He took a heavy touch and the ball was out in front of him, I heard my coach yelling “ Go for it Jordan!” I ran towards it and so did the monster of a child, this would be my last foot race for a very long time. I struck the ball with all 90 pounds of me and simultaneously he struck the ball with his 200 pounds of strength. The ball froze between our feet, I heard the sound of my tibia and fibula snapping, and I felt the friction of my bone breaking a part. I flopped on the ground like a fish moaning in agony. I felt like my leg was alight by an…
The conflict and feminists believe that stereotyping athletes will increase misrepresentation of social realty. Stereotypes are unreliable generalizations about all members of a group that do not recognize individual differences within the group (Schaefer, 2006).An example of this is how many women are portrayed as baseball greats, even though women and young girls play baseball. Baseball is considered a “man’s sport.” These generalizations continue to divide America today, but are being challenged on a daily basis. More and more baseball teams that teach young children the sport are allowing girls to participate.…
"A positive attitude causes a chain reaction of positive thoughts, events, and outcomes. It is a catalyst, and it sparks extraordinary results." Wade Boggs. The most significant challenge I have faced in my high school career was the absence of a role model. Growing up, I only had my mom to depend on. My mom being a single parent often struggled to provide for me. Often times we couldn't afford to pay most bills and buy food, which led us to move into my grandfather's house. As I entered high school, I was lost and found myself unaware of how to prepare myself academically; education didn’t become my top priority. In life, sometimes you meet people who could change your life around. It could be your family, teachers, or your friends. Life is…
