I remember a quote by Maya Angelou, “People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel” (Wouldn’t Take Nothing for My Journey Now, 12). Dr. Naeger, I believe, touched many lives during his vast career. The slippers, I think, were what people noticed first and remembered about him. As his students grew to know him more, he was kind, patient, and caring. Dr. Naeger would have been the type of person to truly care about his students and help them however he could.
I enjoy that I was able to learn how to comprehend the words that I was brought upon and use them to my advantage.As I got better understanding English I seem to be amired by books that keep me amazed by the knowledge that I learn from what I have read.

Blume.Reading is just one of my hobbies, however in my spare time I write songs and sing them to have a piece of relax. Writing sokngs became a habit that I started when I be unease; However I still be amazed how reading keeps me learning
FMLA helped my wife out during a very difficult time in our family and because of it she was able to focus on the situation at hand and not worry about if she will still have her position when she returned. Many employees have benefited from FMLA because it gave them a sense of peace to allow them to focus on the needs of your family. Taking a Leave of Absence from a because of having a baby, adoption of a new baby, from caring for a terminally ill parent or family member, is covered in FMLA and that alone is a good
He focused on what he thought at that time. The similarities between the essay and the speech are the attitude that Val and Ric have for the thrilling experience. Although those two events almost brought their life in an unknown way, they did not hate that experience. Because of those experiences, they learned a lot to think about what they should do in their life when they are alive. The experience is kind of an opportunity to bring them to a high quality life.

MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 2009 "Shooting Dad" By Sarah Vowell This was an interesting essay to read, but mainly for personal reasons. I enjoyed her expressions and extreme views that were being released on behalf of her younger self who had since become her older self. Though grown up, she still was able to stay truthful to her beliefs as a kid, attempting correct judgment and individuality while being raised by her father, someone she saw as, let's say, faulted. The personal reasons I mentioned were based on the fact that I could relate to this character very well. The "oh my god, my dad and I are the same person" thing probably happens to most daughters raised by fathers they think they hate.
Friendship is a great and essential part of modern life. It offers escape from annoying family and awkward social positions. A true and good friend will help someone get through their difficulties with compassion and love without judgement. In A Separate Peace the main characters, Gene and Phineas, claim to be good friends, however, there are events that come to pass that make both the characters and the readers rethink that status. No one should be without a friend, this world that we live in today makes it near a requirement.
Now that he is not focused on things that do not matter as much he can acknowledge what is in front of him. He is no longer bored with his family or his job; he embraces and values these things. In the beginning of the novel, Ed referred to his wife as “it”, making Martha more of a concept rather than a human being. After taking the trip he comes back with a different outlook on his family. He likes being around her he enjoys what she does for him and appreciates it, “She was professional and tender, and tough, what I would have hoped for; what I knew I could have expected; what I had undervalued,” (270).
My ideal thoughts about a nursing home were that it would be quiet, and kind of depressing. But when I got the real perspective, it was light and a pretty fun atmosphere. I did receive some insight on the nature vs. nurture debate and came to the conclusion that the nature part of it is that the patients know that they are losing their independence. But the nurture part is that the nurses try to give them back their independence by assisting them and making them feel worthwhile. After my experience, I learned that even though they may be old, they are still young at heart.
The beliefs I have about myself as an inspiring youth worker is to make a difference in the life of every youth I work with so they will have the tools to make the right choices when faced with life altering decisions. I have always been drawn to youth who are deviant or might have an edge to them. I can relate to youth who have had a dysfunctional home life; my childhood was far from perfect. I was lucky to have people in my life who were supportive and encouraging to keep me going on the right track. I know what it is like to make bad choices and I regret my actions I have made but I have learned from my mistakes.
