Sometimes a stern warning is just what you need in order to push you to take a step back and evaluate your next move, especially when it could be a life changing one. In “Alumnus Welcomes New UC Berkeley Students with Stern Warning,” Shouak Bagchi, an alumnus of UC Berkeley, addresses the Berkeley freshmen class of 2017 with appraisal and advice for the future. Bagchi writes to the new students about what attending one of the most prestigious public universities entails. This article is rhetorically persuasive due to the fact that Bagchi is an alumnus of UC Berkeley. He references topics that the students can relate to and he mentions many of the successful alumni of the university.…
Thank you for everything, Rebecca Hopkins Razavi. I think I speak for the entire cohort when I say it's been an honor to be with you this school year. You've helped us all greatly and we are forever grateful. I can truly see the growth of every single individual in this amazing group. We are all appreciative of how you helped us get to this point. We are extremely blessed to have opportunities/support systems like Hillman, and we should pay it forward at UMD. As Buzz Lightyear from Toy Story would say,"To infinity...and…
If Dr. Craig Elder were not teaching academics he would be doing athletic training professionally. If he did not figure out that he liked teaching in a classroom he would still have his job as head athletic trainer at a college. He got lucky with his friends for choosing a good undergraduate school because he decided to go where his friends went. He never really had a clue what he wanted to be…
As I reflect upon my personal and professional life, I can proudly tell you that my resume is filled with many of my accomplishments of the past ten years. For instance, I can point to my graduation from Temple with my Doctorate in Pharmacy, the evolution of relationship with family and friends, the purchase of my new piano, and most recently, my promotion to Store Manager.…
I can remember when Sam, Rameck, and I threw a party four years ago subsequently of our success in becoming doctors. We had conquered the toughest obstacles and passed interfering things that tried to break us down. As doctors, our motivation and influences of others helped so much. The bright smiles on our patient's faces made our day.…

What they found instead resembled a concentration camp, working long hours with little food and much abuse. Why did they stay? Jones was a mastermind and utilized mind control techniques. Jones used the “big brother is watching you” technique to gain loyalty of his followers (Dittmann, 2003). He would require his followers to spy on one another and played his voice on the loudspeaker so he would always be heard. Jones would use self-incrimination as a control technique. He would learn his followers fears and mistakes and then if they disobeyed him, he would use them to embarrass them (Dittmann, 2003). He practiced suicide drill right up to the actual mass suicide. He would also distort people’s perception by blurring the relationship between words and reality. An example of this would be requiring his followers to give thanks for good food and work, yet the people were starving and working six and a half days (Dittmann, 2003). These mind control techniques coupled with the creation of a new social environment provided Jones with a powerful influence over his…
At my 10 year reunion for Temple, I will be able to say that I moved to Los Angeles, California and obtained a master's degree at UCLA. I will share all the wonderful memories that I developed in sunny California. I will write of my research done in the medical field that have helped to create more unique prosthetics. I will also share my accomplishments with the LGBT community in helping to legalize gay marriage in America. These are two great personal goals that I am going to accomplish with help of Temple University.…
I continue to engage in medical experiences with my most memorable being, a six-week intense summer program offered by the University of Miami's School of Medicine, which aims to provide a mini medical school experience. We were taught several courses by medical school professors, including Anatomy & Physiology lab where we studied a human cadaver. As well, I shadowed doctors in departments such as Neurology and Trauma, where I observed my first surgery. This experience exposed me to the patience and detail of practicing medicine and interconnectedness…
The general reason I think Charlotte Temple stayed on the best seller list for so many years is because the subjects that were discussed in the book were taboo in that day and time.…
Susanna Rowson does a great job of depicting the innocence and ignorance of a young woman in Charlotte Temple. Although, she does a greater job of showing the tactics people will use to achieve what they have set their mind to. The title of this work leads you to believe it will be about a character named Charlotte. While it is about her, I understand the story to be more about two other characters, Montreville, a lieutenant in the army, and Mademoiselle LaRue, a teacher at the school Charlotte attends. Though Charlotte maintains a strong role throughout the work, Rowson states in her preface, " but conscious that I wrote with a mind anxious for the happiness of that sex whose morals and conduct have so powerful an influence on mankind in general " (Rowson 1362). With this statement Rowson, I believe, is implying that she will venture to disclose the extent people will go to in order to gain what they desire. Montreville and Mademoiselle LaRue, time and time again during the novel, are doing all they can to manipulate Charlotte into doing what they want of her. This is why I believe Charlotte not to be the main character of this story, but simply a "puppet".…

Leaving campus, all the other Mini-Med students were revealing to their parents their awesome, blood filled week enthusiastically. Walking down the long hallway to exit the building, tears welled in my eyes and the goofiest smile appeared on my face. I told my parents as they were giving me a very concerned look, “I can do this. I can get into medical school, and I will succeed. In ten years, I’m going to be a neurosurgeon, not a sanitation specialist.”…
For this chapel credit I decided to listen to the voice of Tony Wood from moment church. The reason why I chose this speaker is because of the title it was provided on the Vanguard website which was “The Wrong Thief” and because I was recommended by a friend that this speaker was a great one to listen to and to really try and absorb his message. The friend that recommended him to me shares a similar lifestyle as I do so I knew I was in for something that I would enjoy.…
