Question 1:
Rebecca, you do seem quite depressed today thinking about your family's support of your efforts in college. There are just few things I would ask we
explore today.
As a MSW 1st semester student the workload is intentionally heavy. It is quite natural, and I think most of your classmates would agree, to feel
overwhelmed by the course work. Have you explored these feeling and have your discussed the workload with your fellow classmates?
Could there be some additional pressure, as the first in your family to go to college, you are placing on yourself? Could you be trying so hard at your
work in school to please your family you are disappointing yourself? Then when you become disappointed in yourself you resent your family for not
being supportive enough.
Question 2:
Maria, let's stop and think about what you just said for a moment. You say your father does not listen to you and treats you like a child. So you are
going to show him you understand how to make grown–up decisions. You intend to drop out of school and return to the drug...show more content...
This legislation is sponsored by Representative Miccarelli.
Pennsylvania is the only state that does not have practice protection for Licensed Clinical Social Workers. Practice protection will mandate clinical
licensure for MSWs who practice independently. This will protect client populations by holding social workers who violate practice standards or

Into The Wild Personal Response
Into the Wild a story that gave a life event and a deranged experience. I personally believe no one would want to experience what Mcandless went
through ever. Unless of course they like to be lonely like sir and have " freedom." like McCandless himself. Even then I would still think people out
in this world would not want to live what he went through, So frightened to know you prefer being alone with no ones help. To come to think that
freedom does exist and you'll have it one day but, will you really?
McCandless was a tough soldier went through tough times but to him it was all an experience and as far as we know might've enjoyed every little
moment he spent out in the wild. I guess it is true when they say "God gives his toughest wars to his toughest soldiers" Mcandless was one hell of a

We have a young and wild mentality that might lead us toward the wrong directions. Which is why sometimes we have to think twice before we
take action. In Chris's case actions were not taking he took it for granted took his young early ages of life as they would come back one day. Us as
teens or young adults don't acknowledge the purpose of life we take it for granted. It's crazy but almost nobody acknowledges the purpose of life.
Which is why I wonder , is it because we don't know the purpose or we just tend to have fun within our lives. Sometimes that fun is out of control and
isn't the right path. Sometimes it leads to bad habits, bad reputation, or even worse death. Who wants death to come knock at our door step for taking
the wrong direction for not acknowledging what life is really worth for thinking you're the big bright brain and anything anyone says or does is not
relevant. So I ask Is it worth it? Is it worth taking the wrong direction? All because you thought it would be the best decision you have ever made. All
because you want to be alone or have

My Personal Response
Microeconomics covers many interesting topics but I was able to find five that truly reflected on things that I go through in my daily life. My first
topic was supply and demand which are the two words that economists use most often. These are also two words that I use often when demanding
items and also supplying them for customers. Another topic that I discussed was the opportunity cost. There are so many things that can be done in
one day but it's always a cost to do one thing over the other. Following that I expressed the struggle of wanting a normal good but only having the funds
for an inferior good. Normal goods are great when you can afford them but they're not always in your budget and you have to settle for an...show more

This is called Opportunity cost. An opportunity cost is the cost of something you give up to get it something else. There is an "opportunity cost for
every trade–off" that you do in life. I have a couple different opportunity cost that I have been through but one of my most important and current
opportunity cost is being a full time student at Prairie View A&M University instead of working a full time job to make money and be able to pay
all of my bills. At this point I am working, however it is not a full time job therefore, I am not receiving the same amount of money that I would be
receiving if I was able to work at a full time job in the customer service field that I am qualified for. Being a full time student is a job in its self and I
have to put it first over going to work to make money that will help pay my bills as this will benefit me in the long run. After I complete college
and obtain a degree in accounting, I will be able work in a large firm working in a higher level of customer service rather than if I were to jump
straight into my field and not have the credentials. I am happy that I'm able to make this opportunity work out to where I can still work and attend
school even though it is hard and I am not receiving my desired pay rate. Overall, being education and acquiring knowledge of many different
subjects will make up for the cost that I am paying now by being in school and not working a full time job. Also, there is always the summer when
I am not a full time student and I am able to work full time. Before knowing what an opportunity cost was, I did not understand that I was always
paying a cost to do anything that I did even tasks as simple as sleeping. Prime example, I could be doing homework instead of going to sleep before it
was done; this is just something that happened last night, and often as a college student. I should have been

Fahrenheit 451 Personal Response
I really like the idea of being able to write a story without having to use description. I feel like in life, people are more fueled by what is said, rather
than what they are doing while they say it. Also, I want to see how different it is to read people's moods without the help of description. This is just a
brief dialogue section I wrote. It might be the middle of a story, but just kind of liked it. Hope to add more sometime in the future.

No one wants to show their true selves because they think they will be judged. Since everyone does the same thing no one ever gets to see that other
people are like them too. We smile and tell lies to people because we do not think they care about the truth. Maybe they cannot handle it. Sometimes the
smile falters and the truth can be seen, but no one ever pays attention. Maybe they do not want to. The world does not need to know all our problems.
We become vulnerable and susceptible to getting hurt when we reveal our true selves. We keep the masks on. Behind our masks we cry out in
anguish. We shed tears of our pasts and the roads we took to get here. No one need know what we have been through. Just let the world see the mask we

1984 Personal Response Essay
Fear is something all humans share. This unity of having fear connects all of us together, along with many other things. Fears themselves are not
universal, and every human may have different fears. In the novel 1984 written by George Orwell many common fears are brought into perspective,
many of which I can say I fear myself. While the question asked for the implications of the ending, for me to fully understand the ending I must start
from the beginning. The concern about the truth of history and truth of the past, that the people in power are always watching you, and not being
allowed to have real emotions except towards the government are all fears brought on in the novel, especially with the implications of the ending. As

Ultimately this all leads up to the ending, with 2 + 2 = 5. Mathematical laws of addition would show that the equation of 2 + 2 would equal 4. Yet
what is shown by the party's manipulation is that it is possible to make someone believe that 2 + 2 = 5. By physically and mentally completely
breaking people down to an almost breaking point, it is possible to reprogram their thought process to really think it equals five. This

This is a summary and personal response to essay " Farm Girl" by Jessica Hemauer.
This is a story about a girl who's childhood was spent working on her parents farm, while most of her friends enjoyed their childhood playing sports,
watching TV and socializing with other kids. Even though she spent her time working on the farm, this experience was very valuable to her. It thought
her to be responsible, that helping your family is very important and that "fitting" in is not always the best thing.
Main points
Each child in the family had their responsibilities in the barn. They all helped each other with their duties and Jessica being the youngest child had a

"During all these activities, I always notice that I stick out from the group." While she always wanted to fit it with everyone else she finds out that she
is much better off the way she is. Her life has thought her responsibility, ability to manage time and has shaped her into the individual she is today. She
is considered hard working and able to take on more responsibility.
Farm Girl by Jessica Hemauer is a memoir about a young girl working on her parents farm. This was written for your audience to show them her life
and how difference experiences shaped her into the responsible your woman. The tone is depressing at times but it still focuses on positive outcome. "
Though I hated it growing up, working on the farm has taught me many lessons about life, and it has shaped me into the individual I am today."
My emotional response
I chose to write about this memoir because it reminded me so much about my life growing up. I had to work on the farm at a very young age and
therefore have missed many different things that my friends got to do. I couldn't go to the pool in the summer time , I had to help my family grow
watermelon's, pick cherries and take care of the farm animals. I didn't have TV until I was twelve years old. I went to school, came home, did my
homework and then I had to help with the farm. I often think about my childhood and wonder how it would have been if I didn't have to work so
much. I miss

Rwby Personal Response
I was inspired by RWBY and "REALiTi", a song by Grimes, while thinking of a topic for my essay. In RWBY it encourages personal uniqueness
and the forgiving of mistakes. In "REALiTi", it focuses on how reality is important and even if it isn't pretty you have to face it. As a gay man and a
minority in America, I am hated for just existing. How much sense does that make? This world is cruel indefinitely, but I did not give up. I express
myself even when i get bullied. I especially got abused in middle school to freshman year when I lived the a small town Eureka. I had gotten into
fights and got verbally abused everyday, but I still moved forward and kept myself true. The result, I am happier than ever before. Today I attend

Personal Bias: Response
Personal Bias: Response Paper Personal bias is a topic that many do not enjoy discussing, but understanding bias is crucial to social progress and
acceptance. The series of articles we read discussed many aspects of personal bias including snap judgements and unconscious bias. The article How
Your Looks Betray Your Personality by Roger Highfield discusses in
–depth how people make immediate judgements and inferences when they first see
someone and how these judgements can lead to overgeneralization. Jean Moule expands on this concept of immediate reactions in her article titled
"Understanding Unconscious Bias and Unintentional Racism" by discussing unconscious bias and the actions that it can cause a person to do without
being aware. In this...show more content...
In response to this issue, researchers at Harvard developed the IAT tests to hopefully reveal unconscious biases. This test, which requires users to
sort faces and words into categories as quickly as possible, aims to show how the unconscious mind feels about certain groups of people. Upon
taking the test that focused on race, I felt that the quiz was not necessarily the best way to measure unconscious bias. Because the test relies on
quick response and muscle memory, I sometimes found myself having difficulty processing the word or picture shown. The makers of the test
believe that a delay in response indicates bias, but I feel that many times a delayed response was due to confusion. As someone who typically takes
longer on tests, I felt the quiz was not an adequate measure of my own personal bias. However, I still believe this test could be a decent tool for
uncovering some biases for certain types of people who do not struggle with

English 12: Short story personal response for The Locket, by Kate Chopin
In the lives of many people, certain items have held great importance in those lives due to their association with elements that has an significant, if
not symbolic effect on their lives, such as association with past memories, events, or people. The locket presented in The Locket by Kate Chopin is
one that binds the themes of love, loss, the chaos of war together throughout the entire story. I believe that the locket is symbolic the motif of love in
part I, and loss in part II of the story separately, this is due to shift in focus of the characters from Edmond to Octavie in the story, and the relative
situation and circumstance presented in each section. I believe...show more content...
Thus the locket act as a bond for Edmond and Octavie to the world of the living, as Edmond tries his best to survive, and Octavie remains hopeful,
and as both are pained by the separation of the parting as expressed in the flash back, and this separation is not just the physical separation, but also
of the emotional as Edmond has gone off to war, a terrible deluge that has split families and consumed many lives. At the end of part I, in the
ensuing chaotic battle and retreat, the locket is found to be on the body of a dead boy. It is here that I believe the theme of war plays on the motif
of loss, as it is inferred that this boy, whomever he was, even though it is hinted to be Edmond due to the presence of the locket on him, died in the
battle, which was described by Chopin as "a scramble and a rush rather than any regulated movement" (P. 4, L. 2, Page 154). The battle, described as
chaotic, is inferred to have caused to death of this boy, who the audience, the priest and later Octavie presumes to be Edmond. The significance is that
the chaos of war caused the loss, as it kills "Edmond", also causing Octavie to grieve in part II, thus showing the far reaching effects of the war in the
lives of people. In part II, the motif of loss appears in full flesh as Octavie now appears in full mourning outfit, described as appearing

Ice Fish Personal Response
Personal response– I thought this article was helpful and fun to read. Some of these techniques in the article would have been helpful the last couple
weeks. I have learned a few new things from this article and I enjoyed it. Plot–The plot would most likely be on the ice. The author Steve Ryan is
directing this to ice fishers that need some more help trying to ice fish. While sitting on the ice trying to get a few gills he found a few tricks that have
seemed to work for him and has shared them with other anglers trying to get a few fish. Characterization– There wasn't really any characters in the
article besides that he was directing to anglers on the ice. He has been putting articles online for ice fishers to see and hopefully helps them in their
future on slaying the fish....show more content...
Whether you're fishing on a lake, river, and pond or wherever you're trying to catch fish through the ice. If you're fishing in deep or shallow waters it
depends on how you jig your lure and what you use. Although the color can effect if they bite or not to. Theme– The theme is to get fishermen to
understand what and how to catch more fish through the ice. A lot of anglers that attempt to catch fish say the fish aren't biting. Most of the time they
won't switch there lures or the way they are jigging there lure. Steve Ryan the author of the article says everything you do matters when your ice
fishing because fish are picky. Recommend– I would recommend this article to anybody that likes to go ice fishing or people that would give it a try.
I believe if more people knew how to catch the fish they would go but not many people

Personal Response Journal Essay
Response Journal Is causing parents pain part of the process of growing up, or is it avoidable? It is my belief from my personal observation and
experience that this is inevitable. Parents, or good parents there of, try to give their children 'the best'. Most people wish to pass on their knowledge
and experience to their offspring in hopes that they in turn will do better than they had. In part, this resonates with the child as they too wish to excel
in life, pushing the boundaries, exploring their potential, but avoiding as many hardships as they possibly can. However, many factors do not align in
the way that this is put into action from both parties. Your child is not going to be exactly like you, they have their own unique experiences and

Unit 1 Assignment 1 Personal Response
This question is important to ask since they are two completely different environments that he experienced. He proclaimed that the laws he earned
on the street were "essential to the security of my body" (Coates 24). Yet, when he was in the classroom, he states that the schools "had no time for
the childhoods of black boys and girls" (Coates 25). Very clearly, two different environments where one you are being treated as a nobody, and one
where you have to always be aware of your surroundings. Based on the dictation of the settings, my best guess would be the streets. From there, he
learned how to fit in, he learned the different language that he needed to survive and blend in. Along with that, Coates was placed in a French class
when he was

PHS Personal Response
As my four years end at PHS I look back on my life as a journey down a road and see PHS as a red right. You encounter a lot of people at a red light,
looking left, right, infront, and behind you, there's few that you want to see, the few you don't want to see, and the lot that doesn't matter if you
see. As everyone tries to go on there way people try to be the best they can, most are passive trying to get on their way, but there's the people that
are slow and aggressive. People that you know are trying to be slow and aggressive on purpose and some that have no clue that there slow or
aggressive. But as all the stuff that happens around the good and the bad you try to focus on a green light. You can always tell who's new and who's

really conflicted...
I love a good rocker novel, and when both characters are musicians that really makes me happy. I thought Abby and Jake's story was sweet and
funny. Though I enjoyed it, and it was another page turner for me, thus I really wish I would've liked it more. I couldn't get past the fact that Jake
might possibility have some sort of multiple personality disorder, he has that passionate music writer side that would melt every girls' heart, and
than he has that egotistical, cruel rocker side. One moment he would act like the biggest jerk, and than next thing you know he is pouring out of his
heart bagging Abby to forgive her, and telling Abby that he has been waiting for someone like her for all his life. I felt like it could've gone smoother,
but it was more like a switch, he literary switch from cruel to...show more content...
I thought it was lovely how much he loves his mother, and how he would asks his mother for help when he messed up with Abby. He showed that
underneath his jerky, badass rock star side, he does care. Which is were I felt conflicted, the emotional part of Jake were lovely, but when things
were tough then he buries the emotional of him, and switch over to the dark side. It just made me want to scream. It's not so much as Jake has a dark
side that bothers me, I mean who doesn't have a dark side. But it's how it would happened then how it makes me feeling dizzying and keep thinking

Personal Response to Emily Dickinson
"Write a personal response in relation to Dickinson's exploration of theme"
For me, the study of Emily Dickinson's poetry was the most memorable part of poetry this year. The fact that all of Dickinson's poetry is highly
personal and filled with meaning and sentiment adds to the enjoyment of this renowned poets work. Dickinson is a highly elusive poet and we are
given the knowledge of Dickinson's sheltered upbringing but yet still it amazes me the fact that her poems are still around to this day, one of the main
contributing factors to this is down to the fact that her themes are universal and are something everyone can relate to. A poem that's theme I found
quite thought provoking is "There 's a Certain Slant of Light". This poem...show more content...
The appearances seem to be neat but when you look deeply her life seems to be incomplete with the hyphens peppered throughout her work. The
repetition of "and" is a rush of words to try and get her meaning off as quick as possible. There is sensory deprivation throughout the play. She only
feels and hears the funeral, does not see it. This could represent to a bad migrane. Only she knows its there, everyone else is oblivious. The pain is so
great it has aneschetized her senses. Imagery used is aural. Dickinson is suffering from a catastrophic breakdown, and this once again highlights her
madness, the poems predominant theme. Dickinson uses enjanment to create a flowing effect throughout her poetry, which shows she is rushed and
doesn't follow rational poetic techniques, she always ends her poems with either a hyphen or a question mark and this shows great confusion
amongst her poems and once again highlights her frail state of mind. "I felt a funeral in my brain" is one of Dickinson's longest poems at 5 stanzas,
her usual poems consist of 4 stanzas, this once again shows the reader her madness and her deteorating state of mind. The rhyming scheme is ABCB, it
is imperfect rhythm and this is a good beat.
The final poem I would like to look at is " I taste a Liqour never Brewed". The once again universal theme in this poem is Nature. Everyone can
releate to it and this is the mitigating factor as to why Dickinson's

Lenses by Leah Silverman
The main theme is humans can find it emotionally difficult to conform to society, but usually end up doing so. The meaning of this theme is that
we all want to do things that are practical to society even if it feels wrong in our hearts.The main driving component which draws people too
conformity are the desire to be accepted in certain status groups. People fear that if they do not conform to society, they will be breaking the social
contract, therefore be rejected by society at not being able to achieve their personal goals. It is easier to do what is expected than following our minds
and rebel. We chose this theme because we can all relate to...show more content...
This individual believes that lies would destroy friendships and lives of others. This relates to the topic because when we conform to society, we
become dishonest with ourselves. Welie about our feelings and emotions to do what is expected. In the poem it says lying could really hurt a person
inside. However, by becoming truthful and showing our true self could also hurt us because by doing so, we could be judged and talked about in a
negative light. Leah Silverman's "Lenses" tells the story of a young surgeon, Corinne, who is asked to replace the vivid eyes of a friend with two
round, steel lenses. She finds herself in a difficult situation where she must decide whether or not to go through with the operation, risking ruining her
friend's depth and character. The overall message of the story is that the people are made as unique individuals. The story emphasizes how the eyes
contribute to the individuality and beauty of a person, and the fact that nothing can replace them. This relates to the theme because as people try to fit
into society, they start to change and become someone they are not. It is important to know the significance of being unique because it tells so much
about our character and feelings. Also, though a person goes through a

The Most Dangerous Game Personal Response
Imagine you are walking into a library. You pick up a book and start reading the summary. You notice that the character's life is very similar to what
you are experiencing at home, at school, and in your personal life. The character is also similar to you in behavior. What you probably don't know is
that what you are relating is characterization, conflict, and narration. I have experienced this too while I read and because of that I can say that
literature and life are connected through characterization, conflict, and narration because someone else's writing can relate and have an effect on your
own life.
The conflict in "The most dangerous game" by Richard Connell is a man to man conflict when Rainsford is forced to be the prey in General Zaroff's
"hunting." This reminds me that in life we have to do things we don't want to do. Sometimes it can be an arduous, tough, and burdensome situation like
the one Rainsford is going through. Rainsford's first response is "I will not hunt" but is later running for his life. The situation that...show more content...
When people read teen fiction, I liked to read older, more classical books like "Romeo and Juliet" or "Cyrano de Bergerac." These types of books have
always been my refuge, the place to go to when I feel forlorn, and one of the only activities I feel comfortable in. when I read I picture myself in
their position with an exciting, interesting, and adventurous life to distract me from my worries. When they started to get smartphones to take
selfies, my priority was to get a polaroid camera. Sometimes I took my camera to school and the kids characterized me like characters in books do.
The people I read about had inspired me to show who I truly am and who i wanted to become. Literature can help many people become courageous in
life. They give role models, persons to admire that can change the perspective someone has of

Personal Response- Forrest Gump (Film)
TITLE: Forest Gump
DIRECTED BY: Robert Zemeckis
TEXT TYPE: Film
DATE FINISHED: 06–04–14
*Note: Read all quotes in a thick, Alabama accent.
This film follows the life of Forest Gump who struggles to live outside the barriers that society has given him. Forrest is a little 'slow'; although his
mental impairment doesn't seem to bother him. In fact, the naivetГ© that comes from his limited understanding of the world around him gives
Forrest a uniquely positive perspective of life. Forest overcomes the challenges in his life, becoming a star football player, a war hero, a successful
businessman, and something of a pop icon. Through it all, however, there is one defining element in his life: his love for Jenny. She is never far from his

I believe that the character Forrest Gump teaches me to treasure the moments in my life and to understand why I'm doing what I'm doing. Especially
in scenarios that can affect other people. He is some sort of inspiration to me; this is however not in the usual context. He inspires me to never enter
situations where I do not fully comprehend nor understand the consequences of my actions, he inspires me to never let someone take advantage of me
and he inspires me to just simply, be me.
Throughout the entire film we see Forest Gump's tragic life; nearly everyone he holds most dear to him dies. Life can be brutal at times, I found
myself crying during the moments when Forrest's life seemed painfully hard. In some ways I could see that with every loved one that he'd lost a
part of him had died with them. I can understand this feeling as my best friend's father passed away only three years ago this month. As she is
growing up, she is realising the disadvantages of not having him with her, knowing that he is not there to teach her how to drive or help her get her
first job. I see her pain and I know that there is nothing I can do to stop it, I am powerless. I believe that there is finality in death, however in this film
Forrest teaches the audience that a part of us may die with a loved one, but that doesn't stop life from coming back to us. The underlying message that
