    Temptresses use their feminine charms to reveal Odysseus’s promiscuous acts as well as his hubris. Calypso, a temptress in the epic, is a nymph who is “imprisoned” on the secluded, beautiful island, Ogygia. In Book IV, Odysseus is washed ashore on Ogygia and is there for seven years, continuously being tempted by Calypso. “True enough,/ Calypso the lustrous goddess tried to hold me back,/ deep in her arching caverns, craving me for a husband”(Homer IX. 33-36). Calypso’s attempts to make Odysseus her husband are in vain, but she manages to expose Odysseus’s immoral behavior demonstrating that he is susceptible to her feminine charms. During his stay on Ogygia, he displays these human-like tendencies and weaknesses: “Though he fought…

While still being in those sports activities, I also take part in other organizations like the National Honor Society and Science National Honor Society, and at same time taking AP classes. From being in all of these activities and classes, I have learned to be excellent at time scheduling with homework, soccer and color guard practices, and meetings. Although it may be challenging to keep track of time while taking more classes with UA Early College, I am still willing to proceed with the program because I know that there will be help from UA Early College peer coaches, and learning communities coordinator.

    Making decisions can be extremely difficult but one of the worst feelings a person can have is having a decision made for you. Although one may consider these changes in direction to be trivial, in truth they may actually have the power to alter the path of one’s life. Like many Grade Twelve's, I put my fate into the hands of the Admissions Office of each prospective University. I had done everything I could in the beginning of the year to get respectable grades and be accepted into all the schools I wanted, just so I had every possible option available to me. It started off well, with my early acceptance to Queens University and University of Alberta but then came McGill University. It had been one of my top choices, and I was tremendously disappointed. Although I have now accepted that I have no chance of attending McGill this upcoming Fall, it was still painful to think that an entire future, a whole different person that I could have become, died away with that one rejection letter. In time, I realized there was nothing left to do but to go check out the other universities. Fortunately, I fell in love with the Queens University campus just two weeks ago after visiting it for the first time. As Martin Luther King Jr. said, "We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope." Though I may not be able to control the unexpected twists in my life, at least I know that I will always be able to face any upcoming challenges with a strength…
