All my life I’ve had similar fears about many things — being able to do a good job and succeed at my work‚ worrying whether I’d grow up to become an independent individual who could stand on his own two feet. And‚ each time

I think that George had to kill Lennie. I think this because Lennie depends upon George and would not be able to fend for himself.

Moreover‚ we are trained to plan and manage time wisely. We also abide by and respect rules and regulations. The disciplined students will grow up to be disciplined adults

The best job have I ever had ? Throughout my career life I have had a lot of jobs ‚ sometimes good or most the time bad but‚ I am pretty sure if you have a chance to work for yourself that would be your best opportunity. When I got this chance to work in my own little store it was the most amazing job I could ever wish to get. Imagine working without any boss‚ less stress or no problems with a manager in my job.

Maybe instead we can make our own laws” (Blackburn 19). In this quote‚ he is suggesting we’d be better off making our own morals and ethics instead of following the teachings of a God. I agree with Blackburn in the respect that ethics does not depend on religion‚ but unlike Blackburn‚ I believe religion depends on ethics as well and is necessary to the functioning of our society.

I had heard talk of a mother’s love for her child before the day I had my own. I’d heard stories of a mother that gives her life to save her child’s. I’d seen that kind love expressed by my own mother everyday. I guess‚ I never thought it to be much different then the love a person feels for any other immediate family member. Boy‚ was I wrong. It’s not that I don’t love my other family unconditionally and entirely‚ but a mother’s love is undoubtably incomparable to any other. October‚ 20‚
