Oprah, Lionel Messi, JK Rowling, Celine Dion; Names of ordinary people who just got luckier than the rest of us. Names of ordinary people who we just happen to love, laugh with, and sing along to. We all love that rush we get when watching our favorite actor, football player, or band members on the big screen. The feeling never gets old. Most people believe that celebrities are overpaid. With all my respect to those people, I oppose their opinion. Many reasons such as the talent of these celebrities
I’m committed to society and sacrifice my time for others. Since November 2011, I’ve volunteered at Oxfam charity shop, working in a team to manage stock and serve customers. Here, I improved my communication skills, by interacting with members of the public in a self-aware and sensitive manner, so I look forward to working with members of the community. The experience led me to realise that I have a strong desire to make a positive difference to people’s lives. From a young age, I’ve had an aptitude
Draft Leadership Critique Jim Collins’ theory of Level 5 Leadership has fundamentally transformed my perspective on leadership. My amusement is that the theory is not a hypothesis or a coined out phrase but, rather derivative of empirically research. I would rather call it a discovery. According to Collins' defined, Level 5 leaders are those at "the highest level in a hierarchy of executive capabilities." (2005: 138) Those category of leaders are individuals who possess a “combination of personal
Humans have amazing capabilities to be selfless and loving. I used to volunteer at the Sacred Heart Community Service organization (SHCS), an organization dedicated in bringing together the community to address poverty in Silicon Valley. During my time volunteering, I met amazing people, whom I had the pleasure of volunteering with, that made sure that those who are less fortunate than they are are taken care. One of the most memorable volunteers that I met there was an elderly woman, Beth, who frequently

Help, it is defined as someone making it easier for another person or something by providing resources. Helping out the world could be done in many formats, volunteer work, stopping bullying or even taking groceries to an old lady’s house and etcetera.

During the Victorian era, the ideal woman’s life revolved around the domestic sphere of her family and the home. Middle class women were brought up to “be pure and innocent, tender and sexually undemanding, submissive and obedient” to fit the glorified “Angel in the House”, the Madonna-image of the time (Lundén et al, 147). Normally, girls were educated to be on display as ornaments. Women were not expected to express opinions of their own outside a very limited range of subjects, and certainly not

This poem passes on the account of the acknowledgment of a lost youth. This is done using
Determining the difference between right and wrong can be difficult, but life lessons help us figure it out.

While reading The Odyssey, a lesson that can be used today and during

Robert and Martha had many scandals going on in and around their relationship, but those all could have been avoided if they were more mature and rational. Despite many reasons as to why the seemingly perfect couple split, the main component was the couple’s impulsive actions and decisions. Robert and Martha had many scandals going on in and around their relationship, but those all
Audrey Hepburn once said, "As you grow older you will discover that you have two hands. One for helping yourself, the other for helping others." This is a quote that I, Karam Marticho, a full-time student spending my last high school year at Monsignor Percy Johnson C.S.S. as a current permanent resident, follow to improve myself and the community around me. Helping others is helping oneself. I believe everyone should contribute to their community and vice versa, and that is what I did last summer

My life has constantly been changing since I was two years old just because of three words. “I’m being deployed.” These words are life altering and being told that phrase as many times as I did growing up, I knew the familiar waves of emotion all too well. I could recognize the words before they even formed out of my dad’s mouth. Being able to understand that a deployment isn’t just a short trip overseas, its months, maybe more than a year of being away from home. That concept was so hard for me
