Failure is inevitable experience that can result in new understandings about ourselves and life itself. Whether a person is young or old‚ everyone has that one story of a time where they encountered failure. The first time I can recall actually dealing with failure came when I was in the 8th grade and learning a new slide on a longboard. I had started longboarding the year prior as a result of moving and living too far from my bus stop. As 7th grade progressed‚ I got increasingly better and eventually

electricity is no longer a strange thing. Electricity is a basic part of nature and it is one of our most widely used forms of energy. Many cities and towns were built alongside waterfalls (a primary source of mechanical energy) that turned water wheels[->0] to perform work. Before electricity generation began slightly over 100 years ago‚ houses were lit with kerosene lamps‚ food was cooled in iceboxes‚ and rooms were warmed by wood-burning or coal-burning stoves. About six hundred years back the

Civilization The Greek culture is considered by many to be the birthplace of western thoughts and civilization. The most fascinating factor for me about the Greek culture is the great revolutionary technological advancement and discoveries that they have made over time. Some of these discoveries are still being used today. Greek civilization put values on Tekhne‚ known to be the spirit of art‚ technical skill and craft. Other values they believed in are Nous which signifies intelligence‚ Phronesis meaning

one discovery so 100 must have taken a great deal more. Also‚ Wedgewood invented and developed products: black basalt‚ thermometer‚ and pyrometer and learned to add kaolin to glaze pottery to stop it cracking.

Riding a bike without training wheels is a uniquely exciting and yet intimidating experience in nearly every child’s lifetime. Many can still remember the anticipation felt when watching the wheels on their bikes disappear one by one; many recall the slight uneasiness that came with gripping the handlebars for the first time and feeling the tremble of the transformed object beneath them. Of course‚ such a transition rarely comes easily and is often accompanied by an endless supply of band-aids and

Way before civilizations were formed‚ people were nomadic. The Merriam- Webster Dictionary (2015) defines nomadic as “roaming about from place to place.” With the discovery of farming and pastoralism‚ nomadic ways of the people then slowly disappeared. Ever since this semester started‚ Ma’am Velarde has been reiterating that farming was the reason why civilizations appeared. Through farming‚ the people then learned to settle in one area‚ specifically near a body of water. They did not need to transfer
