Tabita Mesina February 28th, 2017 Is the “wretched man” in Romans 7:24 a believer or unbeliever? This section (Rom. 14-25) is probably the most difficult and controversial passage in the letter to the Romans. These verses have proven difficult even for the best interpreters.

First, I will provide a back story to what happened and how the Frank family got into the annex in the first place. It all started when someone created Nazism, and blamed all of Germany's problems on the Jewish population. Hitler eventually took over and started invading multiple European countries and caused massive amounts of chaos. This chaos included locking up Jews into ghettos, putting them in extermination camps, and brutally executed them. The Nazis eventually reached The Netherlands, Amsterdam, where the Frank and Van Daan family hid into the annex for 2 years in a small enclosed space.

The Intro to Labor course taught by Professor Brucher has taught me a lot of things pertaining to the basics of labor in the United States. As a young adult, most of the information will help me in the future as a working professional or even now as a low-skilled college worker. The material from this course relates to me a person, as a Rutgers University student, and as a worker. Something that opened my eyes as a worker was “at will employment”.

I wake up in a hospital bed, covered in a white sheet and a few tubes stick out of my arm. The aroma of wildflowers is strong. A machine to my right beeps three times before a nurse walks in. She carries a clipboard and smiles. Her long white lab coat slightly sways as she advances toward me.

“In a 2012 study titled Playgrounds and Prejudice, researchers from the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network asked a national sample of elementary-grade teachers if they included LGBT examples when teaching about family. Eight of 10 said no.” It has been six years from this from this study and stereotypes are still a prominent in the classroom. Racial or ethnic stereotypes, gender stereotypes, and Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender, (LGBT), stereotypes are just three examples of the stereotypes that could be identified in a classroom. Ethic stereotypes are apparent the case study that 285 students were asked to read.

Cait is of the age where it 's time for me to teach her how to drive. For as exhilarating as she finds her lessons, that 's how nerve-racking I find them. So when we get in the car for another lesson, I take comfort in the way she falls back into our usual "long drives" routine. She starts with her customary opening line, "So what should we talk about, Mom?"

Observation of an event, the surrounding circumstances and outcome: I was in the gero unit at Millwood. I got to see an older people suffering from different types of psych disorder. It was around breakfast time, I saw an old lady crying and laughing at the same time. She was yelling to the nurse saying she need her medication and she is in pain. She seems disoriented.

5th Grade Graduation I was nervous. We all were. We filed into the classroom wondering if we would do okay. As we took our seats on the stools lined against tables at the back of the classroom, I felt so anxious that I thought my head was going to burst. “Focus on something else”, I thought to myself.

Throughout all of my years at school, I have been constantly reminded by my parents that I must do my very best in school so that my college will be paid for, because they wouldn’t have enough money to put me through. The ASPMA Scholarship would mean a lot to me as it would help me greatly and enhance my college experience by allowing me to have the highest possible grades, help me grow into an involved, more social person, and relieve some stress that inevitably comes to every college student. Since I would rather not assume student loans during college, I must work if my scholarships don’t cover all of my school expenses. The more I work, the less time I will have to study, and the more stressed out I will be. I believe the ASPMA Scholarship will help me to have the best grades possible because with more funds, I will have to work less, giving me more time to study and less scenarios to worry about.

Think about a huge accomplishment; getting a good grade on a test, winning a competition, getting acknowledged by a coach, teacher or parents. Now think about what steps it took to attain the main goal? I’m assuming it was earned and rewarded by hard work, not easily given. I have accomplished many things in my lifetime so far. Some accomplishments were immense and some were small, but I had to take steps and put in effort in order to reach my fullest potential.
