“Won’t You Not Be My Neighbor” by Cheryll Cashin discusses the problems Black Americans (and other minorities) face when they are trying to find housing. Integration of housing is one of the places where a lot of Americans tend to agree that separation is okay‚ but many minorities have to settle for less than desirable places to live because of it. Where a person decides to live is important because it dictates who you interact with (neighbors)‚ what schools you’ll attend‚ your employment opportunities

Hard Work Does Pay Off When I was born my father had to leave Peru. He left my mother and I to go to the United States. He didn’t leave my mother and I because he didn’t love us anymore. He left us so that he could go work his butt off. He wanted his wife and his son to have a better life. He wanted me to have opportunities that he couldn’t have for himself. Three and a half years passed by‚ I turned three years old. We had everything we needed. My father never stopped sending

Hard Work is the Key to Success "One percent inspiration‚ 99 percent perspiration"Edison’s definition of genius has often been quoted to define success as well. Even before Edison‚ the rigors of success were described by painter Michelangelo thus: "If people knew how hard I had to work to gain my mastery‚ it wouldn’t seem wonderful at all."

April‚ 2013 Hard Work Pays Off It’s 7am‚ Monday July 26th 2004. The sun has just risen up and it’s already reached 92 Degrees. I’m sweating out of control and out of breath just like the other Sixty- Five teenage boys here. The smell of grass is strong and unpleasant and there is no shaded area in site. The line for water is like a mile long and were all fighting like mad men to get a sip. My legs are burning from the running‚ my arms hurting from the endless pushups and I’m holding on

Hard work beats Talent Some people would argue that the top musicians or sports people they see on TV or wherever it might be are different to themselves but in fact that is false. What we see is the finished product then assume they have something special but in fact all they’ve done is more work. Many times we put down success to having specific genetic inheritance. The innate capacity of a performer is different to innate ability. Genetically a person may have an innate capacity‚ but without the

I believe hard work pays off. When we are young we think everything is easy‚ but as we grow we learned that its not that easy and that we have to earn and sacrifice for what we want. I’m currently a full-time student and working part time‚ this is what many people consider “the college life”‚ the time for you to enjoy and have fun. For me however‚ is the time to learn and absorb all I can. The present me will reflect the future me‚ what I do for myself now is what I’ll make of my future. I

Anne Bradstreet lived in a time when devotion in a wife to her husband was a social law. This poem‚ “To My Dear and Loving Husband‚” is a loving tribute from Bradstreet to her husband. Certainly‚ in the early American‚ Puritan colonies‚ this work would have been seen as a wife’s duty as well as a lovely gesture. Today‚ however‚ it might well be seen as the babblings of a dependent wife. This was my reaction to the poem when I first read it. The attitudes of our country have changed drastically since

Work is a huge part of my life‚ always has been‚ always will. My whole childhood my parents raised my siblings and I so we’d become self-dependent. I have so many friends whose parents would just hand them money left and right. I find it so unfair that some kids are literally handed anything they ask for. I think it’s cruel and setting your child up to fail in the future. I think every high school student should have a job. Whether it’s at a fast food joint‚ or the local retail store. I started working
