In "Why I Want a Wife‚" Brady offers hypothetical criteria for an ideal wife in a satirical commentary on how the work of wives is often taken for granted. The humor of the essay lies in its structure: on the surface it seems to accept the criteria it puts forth‚ while the meaning actually operates in the recognition that the narrator is being sarcastic. Using writing as one of her tools for activism‚ Judy (Syfers) Brady has established herself as a supporter of the women’s movement since she began

make in life is NOT making a living doing what they most enjoy.” Since I was a child‚ I always wondered what I would do when I grew up. Did I want to be a dentist‚ veterinarian‚ doctor‚ or cosmetologist? I had no idea‚ but this past year I strongly and whole-heartedly decided what I was going to do. My junior year I enrolled in a Certified Nurse’s Assistant course; I really had no idea what I was getting myself into‚ but I soon found out. The first day of class we learned about what we’d be doing

Why I am a Catholic Sola Scriptura Sola Scriptura and Unity Unity among Christians was clearly one of the chief concerns of Christ (John 17) and the Apostles (ex. 1 Cor. 1‚ 10; Eph. 4). This unity is not only a spiritual reality‚ but a physical one as well‚ for Jesus teaches that the oneness of the Church would be a witness to the world (Jn. 17:23). I have come to realize that Protestantism‚ in principle‚ cannot unify Christians. Sola scriptura effectively makes unity in moral code

Why I Want To Be a Teacher All my life I knew I wanted to work with kids. I have always enjoyed babysitting and spending time with children. When I was in ninth grade I decided that I wanted to be a social worker‚ I wanted to work for child protective services dealing with the neglect and abuse of children. I knew it would be a difficult job and that it would cause a lot of heartache; not only for myself but also‚ for the families I would be dealing with. I didn’t care about how painful and hard

Why I want to be a CNA... I don’t understand‚ while being a CNA is hard‚ it is not rocket science. You basically have to work‚ and care. So many CNAs don’t do either one. I don’t know how they go home and sleep knowing that they left their residents soaked‚ cold‚ and dirty. Why don’t they just go work at a gas station. Very few things make me as angry as when the residents are not getting the care they DESERVE. I want the opportunity every day to make an impact on people’s lives in

Why I Have Chosen This Career My grandfather served for twenty-seven and a half years in the United States Army as an engineer. That’s where it all started with the idea of me joining the ranks. He began educating me on his field of work and branch of service and telling me the benefits and goals I can achieve while doing a job I love. It sparked my interest. I then began talking around throughout the years to veterans‚ young airmen‚ and even my parents. Everyone supported the idea of joining. Once

Before I had turned four‚ I was dancing. I loved it from the moment I walked in for my first class at the age of three. That year I was one of the youngest girls at my dance studio. Now at the age of eleven‚ my love for dance continues. When I was four‚ I was part of my studio’s recital.It was an honor for me. My other young and I friends danced to the lion sleeps tonight.
