Writing is something that has always been difficult for me. I’ve always been a bit of a perfectionist‚ but instead of it being a driving force‚ it’s been more of a dead weight.

Kevin Kim AP/IB/GT English 2 Mrs. New 19 September 2012 Reflective Essay Through the presentations‚ I learned that people who were close to a person that was arrested were cut off from their families.

I am excited to possibly have a chance to intern with your organization this summer. I came across the Tippecanoe Watershed Foundation while searching for internships close to my hometown of North Webster‚ Indiana.

1984 by George Orwell talks about one’s life in a dictatorial society. During my progress of reading‚ I realized how simple I used to think the world is. This book shows a different style of governing‚ which leads to a different way of surviving in this dictatorial society. The story introduces the “Big Brother is watching you” idea which seems to brainwashed everyone. People either truly believed or they pretended to believe this Ingsoc political ideology. A society where every movement is monitored

Taking eleven pills a day is troubling enough‚ but there also are specific instructions that must be followed for each medication. Some of drugs had the same instructions‚ though others did not. For instance five of

This was my first week. I was really...glad that I decided to give Diagnostic Imaging a try for my Co-op. At first I wasn’t sure if it was going to be for me‚ and I was worried all the information I would get would go right over my head and I wouldn’t understand‚ but I am really happy I took a leap of faith and gave it a try.
