When it comes to taking tests I normally do not stress over them. I go into it with a good and open mindset that I am going to pass with flying colors. If I stress before I even begin the test, then my whole mindset will be thrown off and it makes it hard for me to concentrate. I have to be in a quiet room by myself in order to take tests/quizzes. I do have a tendency to stress when a test is timed. For example, I am taking a timed test that has 40 questions and I have five minutes left but I’ve
A reflection of my volunteering experience can be summarized in two words: Life-changing. It is hard to explain the feelings that occur when you involve yourself in selfless acts for your community, such as volunteering. There is a feeling in your heart that you cannot ignore, maybe it is the happiness you feel or the overflow of emotions in helping others. In other words, it is a feeling in which you want to share with others. Maybe with a friend, maybe a classmate, maybe a family member, or maybe
I have learned a lot in the last several months to the importance of having a burnout prevention plan. I realize the importance of not only having a burnout prevention plan but enacting it and following the plan. I also found that my plan left out many things that I have found were important for me and distressing. I realize that a big area that I would need to improve on is the fact that I am not sure when to go about enacting my burnout prevention plan. I find that there are many different things
Life on the road is meant for the strong at heart and the mindful skills of a person who knows what they’re doing. To live the life on the road you need a set skill and mind to handle the rough odds ahead of yourself. It is not for the weak and the non experience because they will get brutally hurt or even worse killed in the process. Challenges such as food, knowing where to find clean water, heat for the cold nights, shelter, and most important how to hunt and pick berries. Without these essential
CARING MOMENTS The caring project our group chose involved taking a test. We felt test day was an unusually stressful event for everyone.

Personal response: War causes grief and grief causes pain, pain is an emotion that has many faces and many sources. Just because it does not affect us doesn't mean it does not exist. Many people isolate themselves into the darkness just to stay out of pains sights. But there are some who defy the very essence of the word fear, and are not afraid to put themselves in front of harms way for others. The innocent who have nothing to do with war are the ones placed in a place where they do not belong

Christianity is supposed to be practiced. Too often as Christians we separate our faith from our everyday life; this is not Biblical. Christ calls us to take Him into enter every aspect of our lives, and for Him to shape each and every way we view these areas of our lives. A good way to get into the practice of seeing and relating the things we do with God is to make connections between what we see and what we know about God. When looking at the film “O Brother, Where Art Thou?”, I was able to look
A book is not possible without characters. Stories are given purpose and meaning by their characters, bringing the reader through their struggles and triumphs. The characters are the conduit from which the reader experiences the story in a book. In order to have a successful novel the writer must have a wonderful cast of developed and plausible characters.

After months of practice, the day finally came to take on anyone. “It is time to move,” my trainer said. Although I had seen many of my seniors race on that same course, I started shaking as my heart beat constantly increased because it was my first time. As I moved to the start line, I could feel the sweat run down the dark blue protective suit, the engines racing, backfiring and the crowd making a lot of noise. We got ready at the start line forming a cloud of smoke behind us. All I could smell

Without it, you wouldn 't know how far you could go or how capable you are because you wouldn 't have anything to push you or compare to. The
Personal Narrative There are a few things in my life I could use to write a narrative off of, one that could really strike my mind would probably be snowboarding, not even just the aspect of snowboarding but how it is something you have the ability to do to and kind of use it as a coping mechanism, just something that lets you be at peace with yourself and not worry about anything else in the world. If you were to ask a skier or another snowboarder about the feeling I am talking about. The one
Millia’s Memoir: Becoming a Victim of the Blob “What do you wanna do?” Makaiya asks me as she lays down her towel. “I don’t know,” I reply doing the same. “Truth or dare?” she says, with a mischievous grin on her face. “Dare,” I say smiling. “I dare you…” she pauses for a second as she thinks of what I have to do. “ I dare you to get blobbed!” My heart sinks like a rock, but as bravely as I can I simply say, “Okay.” My feet make a deep, loud, knocking sound as I slowly walk up the wooden
