before loosening my collar. Suddenly my life jacket became a worthless chunk of yellow padding. A cheerful Mr Allen below, perching on a boulder, did little to boost my confidence. Hell's demons were playing cunning tricks on my mind: Is the plunge pool deeper enough? Are you certain you will not scrape your back on the side of the rock face? I was superman, as I teetered nervously off the edge and plunged down. All I could see was a blur of rich green leaves, jagged rocks, and finally Mr
For my Cultural Plunge, I participated with Project Excell (Extending College Education for Lifelong Learning). This is a group that meets on campus, in the union, every Saturday morning from 9:00-11:00 AM. Each participant has a developmental disability and they come from various places around Manhattan. Project Excell offers around 4 different classes for the participants to choose from, which range from dancing/theatre to the history of Nigeria. After completing a “session,” the participants go
Tybee Polar Plunge Year after year, locals and visitors descend on the south end of Tybee’s beach on New Year’s Day to jump into the Atlantic or to cheer others on as they do. It’s a wacky, offbeat, cool – now and again frigid—tradition with lots of laughter, and it is quintessential Tybee. But did you know… • This annual ritual routinely draws thousands. Total turnout including spectators is normally 3,000 plus. Somewhere between 1,000 and 1,200 folks are usually there to take the plunge. Many are
I went to a Catholic church for my cultural plunge project, and it was a new experience for me because it was my first time going to a church. The reason I picked Catholics as my focal group was because that I have heard that many people call themselves Christians, and a few identify themselves as Catholics. However, I thought these two focal groups are the same according to what I learned from my History textbook. I hoping I can use this cultural plunge activity to find out some more about Catholic
My Experience I am a Christian and I attend a church of Christ, so for my cultural plunge I decided to go to a different kind of church. I attended a service at Life Church, which is a non-denominational church. The atmosphere of the church building and the service were very different from what I normally experience at the church I attend. The first difference was that Life Church offered a number of services at different times, the one I attended was on a Saturday evening. The auditorium was dark
For this cultural plunge assignment, I attended the Choma Food Festival hosted by the African Student Association here on campus under the Office of Multicultural Affairs. This event interested me because I have always been fascinated with the African culture, as in wanted to know more about it, but I was not able to fully discover what all it entailed. I feel as the African Culture is part of my heritage that I am most unfamiliar with. African culture is very different from the American culture
Cultural Plunge Ways to develop a cohesive academic environment. In the first step of making a student feel comfortable in my classroom no matter their race, ethnicity, religion, gender, or sexuality, I would first make sure I get to know my students and their backgrounds. I will then create strong relationships and bonds which each of my students so that they feel welcomed, comfortable, and accepted in my classroom. It is important for teachers to encourage students that everyone is the same and
• Of course, written from a nightmare. One of readers favorite quotes from this story is "The fall would plunge Loreli into her own grim reality, or into the other place, the place that spirals sharp and deep, where the dead dream and the worms crawl..." This story is about a woman walking on a tight rope, teetering on the edge of absolute reality or absolute madness...neither are pretty choices. As usual, it is up to the reader's own imagination to decide her fate. • Strings I awoke one night
I heard about the Polar Bear Plunge through my peers. Every year many of my friends would take the plunge and I would call them crazy; going into the water being 30 degrees outside is insane. But that was before I did some research about the plunge and found out what the plunge was really about, helping raise funds for the Special Olympics. I was in school one day and heard that Broadneck had a team for the Polar plunge, this was my chance. Thousands of seemingly sane people across Maryland and

that guy going to dive off the side of the pathway?” I exclaimed to my parents as we were hiking down the 100 steps to the beach. “That dive is insane,” uttered my mom. “Hell no,” my dad said as we watched the guy plunge into the crystal clear water. There were various spots to plunge off the ledge of the pathway into

portable on campus at UCI. I have grown up in a house that is not religious and have not attended a church before. My family’s race is Caucasian and I am independent when it comes to religion. I decided to attend a Catholic Church for my cultural plunge to get the experience and to see what it is like to attend church. I have always listened to my friends tell me they are going to church and that they are this religion. But I have never been able to experience what going to church is like. Common

Louise Erdrich’s stories combine wildly dynamic characters with metaphoric language and elements of the supernatural to create tales that challenge the demarcations of cultural reality. In her stories “Plunge of the Brave,” “Scales,” and “Fleur,” Erdrich utilizes magical realism to help mystic elements seem more relatable to readers. The short stories, while otherwise straight-forward, are infused with touches of colorful language and mystic descriptions that, many critics claim, classifies Erdrich
Rainer Maria Rilke described the torment of a captured panther that she observed in a zoo through the poem "The Panther." The poem was written on November 6th, 1902, during her visit to the Jardin des Plantes, which is the main botanical garden of France's National Museum of Natural History. Through the usage of metaphors, imagery, and multiple specific representations of repetitive behaviors, the poet vividly expressed the struggle of mental illness patients. There are multiple significant metaphors
precisely about looks, then you can fall in love at first sight. It’s unpredictable if you will last, especially not knowing what type of personality that person has. Love is an intense feeling of deep attraction. The gist of all this is that we plunge in love depending on how our brain operates in that second, if the person meets our needs, if you have sex with them it’s possible to fall in love, and if they came into your life and brightened it while you were going through a state of depression
