The Drive-By
Many people have experienced a drive-by shooting before. Some are the victims and others are the people who commit these crimes. Either way, these shootings are very horrifying. You feel your adrenaline rush 100 miles an hour. People who can't run will soon find themselves hopping over gates and hitting roofs tops. The sad truth is that people die as a result of these shootings. Bullets don't carry names. They fly in all directions killing innocent people.
I woke up one Sunday morning tired from the night before. My neighbor Sergio called me up to ask me if I would go with him to the car wash in Whittier. I got ready and left my house at about 12 o'clock. As I walked to his house, I noticed that the sun was bright and the sky was clear. "The day is too good to be true," I thought to myself and believed nothing could possibly go wrong. We got to the car wash and washed his car. The day was going fine. Then Sergio asked me if I wanted to go to East L.A. with him. I agreed and went with him. We arrived at his cousin's house and his cousin's friends were all drinking on the sidewalk. I felt strange to be there. I didn't know anyone except Sergio and his cousin. To top it all off, I was in a strange neighborhood with some gangsters that I didn't know.
After being there a while, I noticed a grey van passing down the street repeatedly. I did not think much about it since it was not my neighborhood, and Sergio's friend did not pay much attention to them either. All of a sudden, one of Sergio's friends jumped off the hood of a parked car and yelled, "Trucha! Trucha!" (Watch Out!) As he shouted that, I looked up and saw the passenger of the gray van pointing and shooting a gun at me. I felt a tremendous cold chill all over my body, and began to run as fast as I could to the back of the house. All I remember is looking for safety.
When the shooting was over, I went to the front and saw Sergio's cousin laying on the ground with his pants full of blood. We quickly got him into Sergio's clean car and drove to the hospital. We were driving much faster than the speed limit and running red lights while I tried to calm Sergio's cousin.
Financial stability for a company such as Wynn Resorts essentially aggregates to advance profits. Wynn Resorts’ shareholders, investors, and employees are more willing to deal with a financially stable business upon financially conducive conditions. These conditions allow for expansion, greater profitability and an overall stable operation. This fact suggests Wynn Resorts has developed an ability to remain close to its core competency and strategy through expansion. Therefore this competency does provide access to a wide range of prospective markets.

Cows of all different shapes, sizes, and colors make up a lot of the world’s food industry. People drink milk, which there are other animals that produce milk but cows milk is used and sold in most supermarkets around. Many people consume beef which there is a lot produced in America. Before receiving this topic I had no idea that there were more than just cows with four stomachs. I am glad I now understand a lot of the cycle of digestion a ruminant undergoes just to eat
Cattle have been a part of the American history since the first settlers established colonies from the eastern hemisphere. Today, there are countless breeds of cattle which have been developed throughout the centuries. Charolais, Limousin, and Angus cattle are a few of the breeds known for their beef production in America. Holstein and Jersey cows make up the majority of dairy production. It is common to find many small family farms across the country with at least one dairy cow to supply their daily milk and other products. The hide of cattle can also be tanned, and used for leather products such as clothes, sporting equipment, and a variety of thi...
There have been many studies that have focused on birth order, the results, however, have been inconclusive. Ernst and Angst (26) conducted more than 1,000 studies on birth order between 1946 and 1980 with no statistically significant correlation between birth order and personality traits. This can be attributed to the near impossibility of controlling other variables in the study, such as parenting techniques, economic status, and stages in the parents’ lives during which they raise children (Travis & Kohli, 501-502).

From the beginning, American dairy farming been ever changing, from the beginnings where cows were milked by hand and the milk was transported by buckets to now where machines and mechanization has taken over. Since 1997 the total number of farms in America has decreased, including the traditional family farm. In “Restructuring America’s Dairy Farms” by John A. Cross he states Traditional dairy farms have between 20-49 cows, dropped significantly by 33.7 percent although this number has dropped small family farms still have 28.9 percent of the countries dairy cows. On the other hand, large scale operations which have 500 or more dairy cows have 41 percent of the country’s dairy cows. ] With Americas thirst for milk ever increasing with the growing population, farms are having to continue to evolve and expand or sell out.
Dating all the way back to the late 1800’s, Birth order has been studied thoroughly. An incredible amount of psychologist and doctors have studied how birth order, or a person’s rank by age among his or her siblings, can affect a child’s personality. Researchers find it difficult to find conclusions due to the fact that it is hard to establish a control group that has controlled variables. Experts say that “different social status, location of the family, and size of the family can create confusion and affect the quality of conclusions” (Hartshone par. 2).

The order children are born effects the personality of children all over the world. People may think the problem only happens in that family but it doesn’t and it don’t only effect the children it also effects the family as a whole. Causes can be the parents how they treat each child, also the gender of the child, and even the number of siblings there are. Some of the effects are they get angry at each other, they get jealous and it can even affect them in the future who they marry who they become friends with. It’s crazy how just because someone was born first or last or in between can change people’s whole personality and perspective on things.
I am a last born of three sisters and the birth order for the youngest mostly fits me. We learned last week that birth order can affect your personality. Some different traits that birth order states is that youngest children are not smart with money, cheerful, and rebellious. I feel like most of the characteristics of youngest children apply to me but there are definitely some that don't Also the book says that youngest children are more likely to be prostitutes. Obviously I hope not to become a prostitute, that trait was the one that my whole group pretty much disagreed with. As the youngest at times I feel like I’m behind my sisters’ shadows. They succeed and like my parents always said you have big shoes to fill do your best.
The order that you were born within your family has a compelling impact on not only your attitudes and the kind of person you will become, but your birth order succession whether it be first, middle, or last, impacts your personality and communication style that will later influence the person you marry, the career path you choose, and how you will parent your children (Leman, 1985). Adler theorized, “that children of the same family aren’t formed in the same environment. While much is the same for all children living under the same roof, each child has a different and very individual psychological situation, because of the order of their succession” (Marie, 2014, para. 3). Adler’s theories inspired other psychologist and researchers who also concluded that not only does sibling order shape personality type, it also impacts communication styles with our parents, siblings, and outsiders, and it has an affect on our life past childhood, such as our choice in career path and life partner.
