Doubt. Am I good enough? Aaron takes three lessons a week for $80 an hour… I sit for hours in my room playing until I get it right. My cello was worth $200… Mackenzie’s cello was worth $4‚000. Haeun started when she was three… I started when I was 12. These were thoughts crossing my mind when Siess announced the ensemble for state. Yes‚ I was elated to be one of the three cellists in Camera De Unione‚ but I doubted my ability to play at state level. When I found out I was a part of Camera De Unione

HOW WOULD I JUDGE A GOOD NEWSPAPER? Technology has given immense new possibilities to the newspaper and it has thus increased its power. But what we often see today is the deteriorating morality of the press‚ represented by a number of newspapers in almost every country.

However‚ the example of Bob failed to convince me as a good analogy for other people. First of all‚ Singer ignored one of the most considerable element in Bob’s scenario

How I Made a Good First Impression As everybody knows‚ the first minutes of communication with humans form a first opinion. I made a good first impression on my husband the first time that we met. I showed up with a nice dress which was appropriate for the restaurant. I looked fresh‚ a little bit a perfume‚ and my hair looked beautiful‚ so that it showed that I respect him‚ and making a good first impression for him was really important for me. After I hugged him if he were an old friend‚ he

You are repeating ’’leader" so often that your essay don’t sound good. Just read it aloud and you’ll understand what I mean. A positive attitude is another essential quality a leader must have in order to do well in office. A leader must see things in a positive light or else everything will not go as planned. For example‚ if a huge crisis was going on and a leader had a mind of a pessimist‚ he would scare "his people" into thinking the situation is way worse than what it really is. On the other

“If it is within our power to prevent something very bad from happening‚ without thereby sacrificing anything morally significant‚ we ought‚ morally‚ to do it.” Peter singer is an Australian philosopher and would say we have a duty to help the global poor. Many people have more than enough money to make small donations but don’t even though it would not affect them at all.

Roger Scruton and Peter Singer are two philosophers who have very different theories on animal rights and the relationships we have with them. I found points in both Scruton and Singer’s opinion that I agreed with‚ yet neither of them felt completely true to me. Singer speaks of an overall equality between beings based on their potential to feel and suffer‚ rather than cognitive ability. This theory prohibits any slaughter or consumption of animals. Scruton offers the notion of the many different
