Leonardo Da Vinci said these words and I quote‚ “The most important thing is to be able at any moment to sacrifice what you are for what you can become.” These words have been instrumental in my academic career and are the source of my perseverance to advance my education. My name is Dania Charles and I am from the small but beautiful island of St. Lucia.

I knew by the time I was sixteen that I would be a firefighter when I got older. I have been a Firefighter since 1994‚ first as a volunteer in Prince George ’s County then as a career firefighter/medic in Montgomery County‚ MD. I work a rotating shift schedule of 24 hours of work followed by 48 hours off duty. This means I do about 9-10 24-hour

MY AIM IN LIFE “The mere act of aiming at something big makes you big.” (Jawaharlal Nehru) Bestowing man with life and sending him on earth to live is fully justified. This all has been done for a specific reason. Idealizing his purpose and endeavoring to objectify it into reality is the real pinnacle/ culmination of human being. A man without an aim is like a rudderless ship

important thing to have in your life. Our lives would be different without freedom. I think it would probably be terrible without freedom. I couldn’t even picture the world without it. It would seem as if we were prisoners in a jail if other people told us where to live‚ what to read or what to believe. And I can’t imagine not being able to share my opinions without being afraid of what might happen. I think that a world without freedom would be a lonely place. Most of our lives depend on freedom

My Aim in Life Browning an English poet says‚ “The aim‚ if reached or not makes great the life”. Human beings are superior to others because they plan their lives. Sometimes this planning is short term. Sometimes it is long term. Long term planning is called aim. It is also called ambition. Aim is the target which we want to achieve‚ towards which our physical and mental abilities are focused. Life is the period which starts from the time of birth and ends

I went back to the articles written by Chris Jones‚ Amanda Ripley‚ and even the speech from Steve Jobs. I now know what gives my life

One of the first scenes where the role of gender is evident is when we’re introduced to Precious in her classroom staring at her teacher‚ Mr. Wicher.

Octavio Paz is Mexico’s greatest living poet. But let’s face it: that’s like saying William Carlos Williams was Paterson’s best writer. For Americans‚ a better way of indicating Paz’s importance will have to be found. Perhaps it would be more suggestive to say that in the universe of Latin American writing‚ Neruda’s poetry is solar: a lavish‚ Hispanic ful-mination--like a Tamayo watermelon--and Paz’s poetry lunar: a rarer‚ Gallic luminosity--like a Magritte moon--; or‚ to put it another way
