“Come on Sydney, hurry up,” shouted Sydney’s mom. Sydney woke up feeling dazed and looked at her clock it was 6:30 a.m! She woke up seeing the sky in the darkest shade of blue.
Book Review: Three Days This book, written by Chris Stepien, was one suggesting details about the three days Jesus was missing after he, his family, and the rest of his town’s caravan visited Jerusalem for the Passover tradition. All that can be found in the Bible to learn about this experience are twelve verses in Luke’s Gospel, but Stepien used his imagination and studies to write a novel on what may have happened in that time. The book seems slow to start, but it requires some of the details given at this point in the story for later parts to come together.
Knowing that I could be there for the many people who need medical attention and for their families would be extremely fulfilling. The medical field is ever changing; I am certain it will progress vastly in the years to come. I am highly interested in obtaining a degree and advance in my education as much as possible. My goal is to be accepted into a college that will give me the education I need to prosper in the forefront of medical and patient
The first PA educational program opened at Duke University in the 1960s. The advent of federal funding in 1971 allowed for expansion (Benjamin et al. 1999), and by 1999 there were 114 PA programs in the United States enrolling 4,080 first-year students (Dehn & Cawley,
Both Toni Morrison’s “Sweetness” and Edward P. Jones’ “The First Day” are short stories written by African American individuals. Other than this very basic similarity, these stories and their authors bear resemblance to each other. Both of the authors lived in a time before the internet, cell phones and probably more importantly the rise of an equal rights for all races movement. Given these facts and their shared African heritage, it is understandable both of the stories have at least an undertone of racial issues. On the more superficial level both “Sweetness” and “The First Day” feature a mother-daughter relationship. Even if this relationship is present in both stories, the qualities of this mother-daughter relationship and the tone of
Due to my personal experience with underserved areas draws me to FSU COM.

and I didn't let little things bother me anymore. I started to go by a new motto, “The only person that controls how you feel is you. Once you let someone control your emotions they have more power over you than you
I was feeling my anxiety level rising, my whole body getting weak, and the thought of wanting to cry was to its max. But then I realized, why should I be doing this to myself? Why not just go and talk to people,make new friends, and be a different self? In response to those thoughts scattering throughout my mind, I never would have thought I could be where I was today only because one little turnaround; to this day, I am now the leader of the team and all the girls look up to me in some sort of way. I, as the team leader, have no fear of messing up or even feeling self-conscious around any of my
The deafening roar from the crowd filled my ears, as it had done so many times before. I reached down, picked up my ear pieces lying across my shoulders, and placed one in each ear. As the stagehand passed me the mic, my pulse quickened. Standing on the platform beneath the stage, waiting for it to rise, my shoulders tightened. Fourteen years, performing on stages around the world hadn't banished my pre-show jitters. Nearly every time I took the stage, those familiar butterflies in the pit of my stomach, plagued me to the point of nausea at times. Rising up into the fog, I grip tightly to the mic. As the fog settled, the laser lights flashed green, orange, yellow, blue and purple beams across the dark arena, the dancing light show gradually
In my school, a girl named Shelby died fighting cancer. Our school did everything in their power to help her family, a family that had decided to raise money to help not only themselves but other families that are fighting cancer. They started selling bracelets, shirts, and other merchandise to raise money. “Fight like a girl,” this was their title. Everyone knew of Shelby and how strong she had been.
After reading "Six Days: Some Rememberings" I found this short story to be very confusing. It just felt like I was jumping from page to page and was a little all over the place. At one point I couldn 't tell if that character was talking to another character or if they were talking to the audience. At times there wasn 't really any details where it was needed and at other times there was too much details. I tried reading the story over again to maybe understand it better a second time but was still a bit confused. I couldn 't understand what was happening. I believe her central question was she didn 't have anything to read and they took away her pen and that she didn 't have any paper. She answered her central question by finally
I chose Prairie View A&M University not only because of how historical the university is but, because of the outstanding number of students that have graduated from the college of nursing. Also, because I was chosen to be a part of the phenomenal dance team known as the Black foxes, then I decided that prairie view was the perfect school for me. After making this decision, things just started falling into place more and more each day. Prairie View has given me numerous opportunities as well as being offered the Target academic scholarship. As generous as the scholarship is it’s still not enough to cover the cost of attendance at Prairie view.
