I have realized that during the course of the last week I have listened to two complete Harry Potter audiobooks to help with the stress. This did allow me to destress, however I realize that for me it has allow to feel my head shift from stress to no stressed. I am hoping that I will be able to even think about the books and relax. I think for me this will allow me to not have to rely on phone service and wifi. This past weekend I was able to attend a Rugby match. On Saturday I was able to watch my old rugby team play a game verse Shippensburg. I was able to feel like I was part of a team a part of something bigger than me. I was able to help the team out by being a touch judge. This might not seem like a stress realize to many because it being a competitive sport people tend to be …show more content…

At first this caused me more stress and anxiety because my boss was on vacation and was not able to respond right away. However, on Monday my boss was able to inform me that they would allow me to work only on the days in which I told them I could do, starting in October. This for me took off a large burden I felt. This is allowing me for the first time in months to not dread the upcoming month because of the amount of things I have on my schedule (that was outside normal working hours). For the first time in months I will also have more than one day during weekend off a month. This I think will really help improve my well-being on a whole. I will not feel the amount of emotional turmoil I have been feeling because of the amount of work I was doing with a great lack of

Using technology can increase our access to information, improve teaching efficiency and can make learning more enjoyable. At the ASMS we use technology to enhance our learning during school assignments ad tasks. Maths and Abstract Thinking, a central studies topic, gave me the opportunity to use technology to create a company log during a functions and graphs folio task.

We humans often consider ourselves to be apex predators, invincible thanks to our superior intelligence. Somewhere deep within our subconscious, there is an ever present awareness of danger, but it’s easier to ignore the notion. Thus, "the world is stable and life is secure" isn’t an unreasonable conclusion. At age twelve, I was living in this state of mind, content with not having to face the fragility of my existence, when I picked up Richard Preston’s The Hot Zone. The title page boasted that it was “a terrifying true story”.

The Jonestown cult suicides resulted in the loss of 909 lives. The degree to which the temple members’ suicides were out of free will or coerced is debatable.

Starting over Starting over might be easy when you are young, but if you are middle age and already have a stable and calm life, it is very hard to start over. My family and I moved from Egypt to The US three years ago, so we had to start from scratch. We found systems in the US are different from my country. After we found a good residence, our concern was finding employment.
