During the homecoming week, I have a chance to volunteer in the Tie Dye Booth, which was organized by the Psychology Student Association. I was there by 12 o’clock and help in preparing the booth. Clothes were arranged on the table and bucket of waters were fill up for the dye color. When people starts coming by, I hands out clothes according to their desire size to them. I learned how to do a tie-dye shirt and give them some suggestions about what pattern is available.
Jeremy, Ready I’m going spastic: I really don’t need to drink.. or pot.. I think they calmed me down if anything. I always heard if you type in caps it means you are yelling… I don’t yell much in person because I feel if you want to hear what I have to say listen closely.
Today I am honored to be standing here presenting the Conn Smythe trophy to my friend Duncan Keith. The Conn Smythe is awarded to the most valuable player during the Stanley Cup Playoffs. I first heard of this tremendous defensemen back in the 2009-10 season where he helped prevail the Chicago Blackhawks to their first Stanley Cup victory since 1961. It seems like Duncan never has a bad season and makes very few mistakes on the ice. The amount of time he puts into this game really shows his dedication and love for hockey.

There are many different views on the Vietnam War (1945-1975) and to this day America’s involvement is contentious. Source 1 clearly shows the fear the US had over America potentially falling to the ‘domino theory’. America’s fear of communism had increased after World War Two once it began spreading worldwide through Eastern Europe, Africa, Cuba and East Asia. This fear is what would lead to America’s involvement in the Vietnam War. America claimed they would help South Vietnam put an end to the ‘dangerous conditions’ the war was causing.
Describe why the ‘discovery’ of Americas was one of the “most important events recorded in the history of mankind” according to Adam Smith. Because it set forth pivotal societal changes, to both the new world and the ‘old’. Two new continents were added to the trade voyages that merchants and nations would undertake, Africa and America. Eric Foner writes, “ Crops new to each hemisphere crossed the Atlantic, reshaping diets and transforming the natural environment…
It seems a universal hobby to write - for at least, a large number of 21st Century-ians. While writing has become a widely-revered pastime, it is far more evident now how certain pieces of writing, are, well, (to put it subtly), more refined than others. Enough with the niceties. Here’s what I mean: most writers end up writing similar stories.
The theme of “Taking the Plunge” is to accomplish any challenge you have to overcome your fears on your own. In the beginning of the excerpt the narrator nervously rambling about anything to keep from losing nerve .” Do crows really always fly directly?” this distraction allows to continue his ascent up the diving platform. All the while constantly looking for another distraction to offset nerves, all the while continuing to accomplish the task at hand “you can’t see the bolts in this diving platform from the ground, which is good if your objective is to get more people to scale this crazy tower because those bolts are pockmarked and look wounded,”
I am at home with a "bug" and no voice, and unless I have a miraculous overnight healing, I won't be with you tomorrow night :(. Everything is ready for the event, however, and someone will be moderating the panel in my absence. Joyce and Matthew know who the panelists are, and will introduce each of you in the order I had intended. As a reminder,
Would you rather spend your high school days being forced to play a competitive sport to graduate or focus on your education instead? Seventy-two percent of teenagers say they rather just focus on passing school than worrying about playing a sport on top of everything else. Some people aren 't capable of having to go play a game till eight at night then waking up the next morning, and having to study for a test the next day. We should not be forced to participate in tasks we are not talented in. Not everyone is competitive, we aren 't all athletic, and we all have different talents.
Take away cabs, limos and delivery trucks, take away secretaries, file cabinets, political strategies inside buildings that run-on words, and there are Sundays at the park between Jefferson and Lincoln Memorials in Washington DC. Oh God of human vibrations and charismatic dances! Thank you for this retinue of human nature in the natural light of an irresistible Seventh day morning… jogging, juggling, volleyball, basketball, freaky Frisbee, American soccer, and chess under the trees…global polyglot of languages incandescent as children’s eyes…girls running on zig-zagging long legs, chasing nothing but echoes in their mad pursuit of earth, air and light …while fathers chase crazy kites across unused baseball fields, teaching young sons to dream. In quiet places above body’s dalliance, lovers picnic on verdant green, in soft patois of Portugese, Afghani, Szechuan, Catalan and Farsi…primal sounds of an eternal not available to the imagination. On old sidewalks young minds rollerblade to boom boxes percussing with James Brown’s slide and glide, while ancient circles of young girls watch casually, carefully structuring distances between rollicking boys and lovers on the hill…
