Grabbing another of the what seems, an endless supply of pizza, I place it into the Ziploc baggie waiting to be filled. My Saturday mornings consist of packaging food for low-income families. After Zesto’s packages the food, we place them in the freezer for the families. We have pick up located at the building downtown. Zestos’ also doubled as a thrift shop based strictly off donations of time and items for the store. I worked at Zesto’s my eighth and ninth grade years of school. Something that’s always stuck with me was the feeling of being able to make a difference in someone’s life. I grew too busy to be able to continue the work at Zesto’s, but the time I spent there stays etched into my mind. I carried on doing my schoolwork,

    Many people have come and gone through my life. Like a revolving door, but it doesn’t matter how long they stayed in my life. To me, it only matters on how they made an impact on me. I think about Kurt Zuidmulder every day, he was a coach, teacher, and father. He was also a friend to the whole community of Hermantown, MN, and Hibbing, MN. He was the greatest human I have ever met, and I will never forget him. Kurt affected me through his larger than life personality, his incredible sense of humor, and his overall kindness.

    The Hero’s Journey is a basic template utilized by writers everywhere. Joseph Campbell, an American scholar, analyzed an abundance of myths and literature and decided that almost all of them followed a template that has around twelve steps. He would call these steps the Hero’s Journey. The steps to the Hero’s Journey are a hero is born into ordinary circumstances, call to adventure/action, refusal of call, a push to go on the journey, aid by mentor, a crossing of the threshold, the hero is tested, defeat of a villain, possible prize, hero goes home. The Hero’s Journey is more or less the same journey every time. It is a circular pattern used in stories or myths.

  • Pizzeria Bianco: An Analysis

    1405 Words  | 3 Pages

    At Bianco, this seems to come naturally. Initially, people might try Pizzeria Bianco to sample the fabled food. After all, restaurant critics don’t just like this place, they rave about it: “I first ate at Pizzeria Bianco in 2009, and it rocked my world. It was the best pizza I’d ever had, and I’ve eaten at many of the top-ranked pizzerias around the world” (Olmsted p 4). However, what keeps people coming back for decades is far more complex and includes how Pizzeria Bianco makes them feel. The combination of exceptional ingredients, Chris’ genius creativity, the staff’s impeccable warmth, reasonable prices and a little bit of something magical makes for a near perfect experience. Beginning from the moment you open the door, up until the time you receive and pay the check, this place offers value: you get more than what you pay for

  • Kids Club Application

    463 Words  | 1 Pages

    When I think about the people who have influenced me over the years I could spit out handful of candidates such as my parents, siblings, aunts, uncles and grandparents. I would be telling half the truth if I had taken that stance. I started my second job about two years ago. I nervously awaited for a response of employment for six months after undergoing a background check and three part test (math, language arts and customer service). After ranking high enough on this test I was then sent to a paneled interview with six city recreation specialists. I was never quite sure what I would do in the recreation branch until they told me I would be a good match for a program called Kids Club. Kids Club is a program that runs in the CNUSD district and provides eight different elementary schools with after hour on site homework help, group games, craft, snacks, movies and during the summer we run an "Adventure Camp". The students I have worked with over these past two years have becoming a driving force for my career, ambition and motivation in my daily life. Working with kids have given me a whole new level of respect for patience and understanding. I've learned that everyone has a different story and their own struggles. Some of these kids have faced horrors I can never begin to imagine at their ages. It has inspired me
