Examples Of Choice Blindness
Choice blindness shows that people are not aware of their own choices and preferences. It refers more to ways which people are blind to their own
choices and preferences and more specifically to a short– term memory that causes people to be unable to accurately remember the choices that they
made. Choices blindness is tested to show how the mind can be tricked into believing the opposite of something so much to the point where the
individual will defend themselves. It question how much we pay attention to certain things and if females pay attention more than males or vice–versa.
Imagine you're looking at two photographs, and try to decide which one of them you find more attractive. After you have made up your mind, focus
on the face that you preferred and explain to yourself why you liked that one better. Now imagine I tell you that you actually preferred the other face

Their aim was to measure how often the subjects notice a change with their choice during and after the experiment. The experimenters presented two
photographs of female faces and after that they were asked which one they find the most attractive. After the experimenters gave them a closer look at
the photograph that they choose, they asked them to immediately explain why they chose that photo. The results turned out that most of the subjects
failed to notice that the picture they were looking at was not their original choice and the explanation of their choice was: "I prefer this one because I
prefer blonde" when his original choice was not a blonde but a brunette. Most people would have notice that change but the results shows that 75% of

Essay about Making Good Choices.
Making Good Choices
By: Keria Owens
Making choices can affect any and everything in your life whether it's dealing with your family or just everyday situations. Everyone in life is
faced with good and bad choices that can either have a good outcome on your life or it can make a turn for the worst. Yes, everyone wants to make
good choices in life. But does that always happen? Nine times out of ten know. Recently, I made a bad choice that affected my life in numerous
ways for instance when I got caught shoplifting my parents looked down on me as if I was this thief. I'm very embarrassed of my actions but there's
nothing I can do to erase it I can only make this a learning experience and make better choices next time around. As teenagers...show more content...
Often times it can be difficult if not impossible to make what you think at that moment will be the right choice. One of the biggest factors that will
hold people back is that to too often than not we are not completely clear on what type of result or outcome we want from a situation. Think about it,
if you don't really know what kind of result you want it is going to be pretty hard to know what choice is going to be the right one. So what do you
do? You get a clear understanding, before you make any choice. Think about its effects in the longterm, and short term. Knowing exactly what you
want is very powerful. We have all heard the golden rule; do onto others as you would have them do onto you. This is probably one of the most
important ideas to keep in mind when making good choices. When we are young a lot of us develop this me, me, me, attitude. We want all the
toys, and we don't want to share. Now this mentality may get us a lot of toys, but it defiantly doesn't help you make friends. In this day and age a
large part of personal success is based on working with others to achieve our goals. If we can help others get what they want, it will be much easier
and they will be much more willing to help us get what we want. So when making any choice it is always ideal to think about how can I

Essay Fate or Choice
Destiny is no matter of chance. It's a matter of choice. It is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved," quoted by William Jennings
Bryan. One of the most debated questions in history is whether our lives are ruled by fate or by own choice. William Shakespeare brings this
question into play in his production Romeo and Juliet. Although fate does seam to be ruling over every situation, I believe that choice has more to do
with this story then it's really credited to. Even in the opening lines, this play drills into your head the inevitable outcome of the two lover's deaths.
When the chorus uses the phrase Star crossed lovers (I, 1,6) it clearly shows William Shakespeare's thoughts on what killed Romeo and Juliet. This

fleeing to Mantua. Lastly, when Romeo found out of "Juliet's death" if he would of took some time to pray, or even thought of what he was going
to do before resorting to suicide, he would have been in the tomb on time for the Friar to arrive and explain everything. I would have strongly
suggested to Romeo to slow everything sown. If he would have taken some time just to stop and reflect many terrible things wouldn't of happened.
     Likewise Juliet also made some irrational decisions. It was fate when Juliet was outside thinking on her
balcony, and Romeo happened to be strolling outside also. One example of her irrational decisions was when Romeo was wooing her, she could
have resisted, but she didn't. And on the balcony scene, Juliet constantly questioned his love for her, and rushed him into marriage, by saying things
like, "If thy purpose marriage, send me word tomorrow," (II, ii, 143& 144). And when Romeo sends for her to marry him, she didn't have to
shown up, yet she chose to. Later on, when she was engaged to Paris she could have been honest with her parents and told them about Romeo. They
might not have liked it, but at least then, her and Romeo would be alive. Juliet could have also of made the choice of going to

He left his wife and married Grace and decides to leave his home and come to an island where he is the only white person. "For the young kids the
sight consisted only of a white man towing a black woman."(P.2)Said Lloyd Jones in the beginning of the book describing how the black kids
looking at Mr. Watts. His choice was a result from his knowledge, from reading books. When he fell in love with Grace he did not care what color
her skin is, or what language she speaks. That was his choice to be with a black woman and live with her around her people. Likewise, Pop eye
told the redskins that he was Pip, which made everyone on the island surprise. He chooses to be Pip to save the rest of the people on the island.
The redskins killed Mr. Watts because he claimed to be Pip and none of the redskins knew that e was lying to them. But after Pop eye's death the
person who had problems with him stood up for him. Even though he was already dead, Dolores, Matilda's mother said "Sir, I saw your men chop
up the white man. He was a good man. I am here as God's witness."(P.205)Her braveness caused her life. Matilda's choice demonstrates her values and
it impacts the community around her. She knew that she had to survive for her father. Her choice showed the rest of the people on the island that she

Abortion, when the topic comes up, it is usually something people do not like to discuss. People may tend to avoid this issue for fear of offending or
angering others but it is extremely important that the horrors of this brutal practice be addressed. During the years 1965–1996 over 515 million babies
have been murdered, this is if you add the number of chemical and surgical abortions (www.rockforlife.org). This is what we need to understand:
abortion kills and we need to know where it came from.
The legalization of abortion started in Mississippi in the year 1966; it was used in the cases of rape. Then other states began to expand the use of
abortion. For instance, if it was the case of rape,...show more content...
One way is called Partial Birth Abortion (D&X); it can kill babies up to thirty–two weeks old. The abortionist (murderer in this case) removes all
of the baby from the mother except for the head, he then jab a pair of scissors in the back of the babies skull and then he uses a suction hose to suck out
the babies brain. Then he uses forceps to crush the babies' skull and pull the rest of the babies' body out. Salt poisoning is also used, where salt is
injected and the bay dies of convulsions due to salt poisoning (www.rockforlife.org). If they can say this is not murder, then what is?
Abortion is not painless for the mother either. Over ninety–seven percent of women have reported feeling pain it is often described as intense, severe,
or very severe. Abortion is also not without side effects. Complications such as bleeding, hemorrhaging, menstrual disturbances or inflammation of the
reproductive organs. Sometimes abortion can cause damage to the uterus and make the woman infertile for the rest of her life. (Abortion some

Abortion has no good results in for the mother or the poor murdered baby. In the end it will always cause physical and emotional pain.

Chapter 3 Philosophical Viewpoints
The question that the textbook poses at the very beginning of chapter four is, "Are you Free" (Chaffee, 2013, p. 172)? Most people would look at
this question as pretty cut and dry and would answer a resounding yes. Philosophically speaking, it is not that easy of an answer. You have to be
willing to look at the question with an open mind, and ask yourself if the choices you make are truly free or if they are governed by forces outside
of your control. In the following paper I intend to compare and contrast the three major philosophical viewpoints regarding this question, and come to
a conclusion on which I find to be the right answer. I believe the best way to do this is to first lay out the beliefs of each viewpoint. Once I have done

176). The determinists believe that people are molded by outside forces such as human nature, their environment, psychological forces, and social
dynamics (Chaffee, 2013, p. 173). Human nature refers to the inborn nature that every person is genetically hardwired with. In other words we
can't have free choice because we cannot alter our fundamental character (Chaffee, 2013, p.173) Being a product of our environment is saying that
we make choices based off of life experience. An example would be a person who grew up in an environment where he was taught to give to
charity as opposed to someone who was raised in the projects and commits an armed robbery to provide for himself. According to determinists in
either case the person isn't responsible for their actions because they didn't choose their environment and were molded by forces beyond their
control (Chaffee, 2013 p. 173). Psychological forces refer to the deep psychological impulses that govern our choices and they are formed by
people's earliest relationships and experiences. Based on this point of view, people may think they are in control but in reality are being controlled
by unseen psychological forces. An example would be if you were a habitual liar it really isn't your fault because you are compelled to lie by
psychological forces over which you had no control (Chaffee, 2013, p.173). Determinists also believe that we make choices

Persuasive Essay On Choices In Life
I believe that everyone in this life has choices. The choices we make define who we are as people and what we stand for. Choosing one path over
another may be the best or worst decision you could ever make. However, once you have chosen, stick to your decision because you made that choice
for a reason. Even if it is to have lunch at a certain restaurant over another, or a bigger decision like choosing your major. Something in your life helped
you make that decision, and the worst thing you can do is live your life with the regret of a choice. If your decision ends up badly, simply make another
choice. Choose a new path. In the words of my oh so wise History teacher, "Never second guess yourself because that's worse than making the
wrong choice in the end." One of the best examples that comes to mind is a story I heard a few weeks ago, based on a real event. In 1979, a man
named Lee Strobel and his family went to a restaurant one evening and he gave his 7 year old daughter a nickel to get a gumball from the machine
and a few moments later, she came back to the table choking on the gum. They didn't know what to do and if they waited for an ambulance they
feared it would be too late. All of a sudden, a woman came up and said that she is a nurse and can help. The woman, after getting the gumball out of
the little girl, told her parents that her and her husband were headed to another restaurant when all of a sudden she made a last minute choice to go
here. Because of her choice, a little girl's life was saved. Hearing stories such as this one, reminds me of all of the choices I have made, and how they
have affected me.

My Career Choice Essay
I have not fully decided on a career choice, but if you ask me I would pick nursing. I would choose nursing because of the many self rewarding
tasks you can achieve while being a nurse. For example helping and tending to an elderly who has no strength to complete tasks anymore because
of old age. Nursing is such a great career choice, I can see myself doing well within the career and also being financially stable because of good pay.
Also another detail I noticed in being a nurse is how flexible your schedule can be. I believe that this career, nursing, would be something I would
enjoy and be comfortable with. I can also see it bringing me happiness in ways that I can help families who have a loved one or friends who are
need of urgent care. Without nurses there would not be that certain individual to help another human being out at their toughest times. After
graduating from high school there is a range of nursing careers I can try to pursue. Getting an education to achieve a bachelors in nursing is a very
long process. Achieving a diploma or an associates degree would be about two years in a community college or any vocational nursing schools.
Getting an associates degree would be the quickest way possible, but the job offerings are way less. You can decide to go further than an associate's

After being born, you became a person with choices. This was inevitable, and now you have to make them. You are free to make them. After a few
years, you start ascribing certain meanings to certain sounds. With this new language, you are able to describe yourself at two years old. Because
you are two years old, there are many things you don't understand. One night, your mother feeds the cat before she feeds you. This upsets you.
Why would she do that? Surely, you're more important to her than the cat is. She didn't like that. She asks you why you're upset. You don't have the
words to answer her, but you knew the reason. Several years later, you're seven and she asks you why you're upset. This time it's because you've
gotten bored and haven't thrown your food across the kitchen in a while. You're fifteen now, and it's time to make some big choices. But you decide
not to decide just yet. You've made all sorts of choices in the past and who knows what you'll do in the future. The most important thing to you is
authenticity, to give each of your choices meaning and to make them freely. One day, your science teacher asks you to stay after class to 'have a chat'

Another important choice in life is having a healthy body. The key to achieving a healthy body is diet, exercise, and rest. In the world today, doctors

disease and live longer lives.. Also, doctors tell us that smoking and excessive drinking of alcoholic beverages can be extremely harmful to our health.
Making a choice to exercise is very important also. Doctors tell us that exercising at least thirty minutes a day will reduce the risk of a stroke and
heart disease. Not to mention, exercising is a great way to cope with the stress of everyday life. The most important way to stay healthy is to get
plenty of rest. The body needs a break to the mind and replenish cells in the body so the body can function properly. Without rest, one is more likely
to make mistakes and even have a higher level of stress.
One more important choice in life is spirituality. Everyone has to question what is this world we live in, why are we here on earth, is there life

Free Will: Should We Have A Choice?
Free will, the capability to choose, act, or think individually, exists in all human beings; whether one would like to acknowledge it or not. The idea
of having a choice in one's own life is empowering; whereas the feeling or thought of not having a say one's life is just as demeaning. But, this
belittling feeling people impose on themselves is voluntary. We all do have a choice, whether we believe it's there or not. Those who oppose the
idea of free will argue that every choice we, as an individual in a society, make is influenced or swayed by someone or something else. I personally
strongly disagree with this statement. I feel that I have either the option to accept and abide by the influence, or I have the option to ignore the influence.

From birth, there are no roles we must fulfill, or goals we must accomplish. But instead, there are thousands and thousands of crossroads we must
face, and at each crossroad we must make a decision. Thousands of individual decisions shape our future in various ways. Whether the choice was
the right one or wrong one doesn't matter. Whether we thought we were following our path doesn't matter. Whether that choice was influenced
doesn't matter. The choice remains, and the choice is all that exists. Far too often, our society uses the idea of a predestined journey or the saying,
"everything happens for a reason," as an excuse for pain, guilt, or hardship. No doubly, adversity can strengthen a person's soul, but adversity is
not always on our path. We can choose to have adversity and in the times we don't choose adversity; we either run from it or run through it. This
choice keeps us going. This choice, however manipulated it may be, is a choice for our own minds and our own bodies. If this predestined journey

Making Choices Research Paper
Making choices and decisions is a part of life. Simply put, the way life unfolds, with its twists and turns, starts and stops, requires us to make choices
and decisions every step of the way. Choices may seem very small in reality time, but they can be huge when it comes to the outcome of your future.
In my life, I have had to make many important choices. Without some of these crucial choices, I may or may not have been typing this letter. One of
these very important choices is where I decided to attend my high school education. Choosing where you attend high school is very important because
wherever you go, you must trust that the institution will prepare you for college as well as life. Some of the circumstances that influence my choice to
go to go to Villa Angela– St. Joseph High school was my family, my location, and the foundation and reputation of the school. My family helped me

The first choice that will help me be a successful person has to do with spiritual life. I think that I need to build a better relationship with God and
trust his reasoning for all things. Along with this, I must choose to understand that his reasoning is much greater than mine. Decisions in academics
are also very important as well. Academically, to be successful, one big choice I will have to pick is what Iwant to do in college for my major. College
is the beginning stages of being an adult, and what major you set up in is going to prepare you to get a job in that field years after college. Last but
not least, personally, a choice I need to make to succeed is to make sure that I always have faith in myself and in my capabilities. In life, there are not
many things or people that you can truly count on. But if you have internal belief in yourself at all times, that will take you very far. I believe these
important choices will get me on the right foot on the path to more

Examples Of Choice Blindness

  • 1. Examples Of Choice Blindness Choice blindness shows that people are not aware of their own choices and preferences. It refers more to ways which people are blind to their own choices and preferences and more specifically to a short– term memory that causes people to be unable to accurately remember the choices that they made. Choices blindness is tested to show how the mind can be tricked into believing the opposite of something so much to the point where the individual will defend themselves. It question how much we pay attention to certain things and if females pay attention more than males or vice–versa. Imagine you're looking at two photographs, and try to decide which one of them you find more attractive. After you have made up your mind, focus on the face that you preferred and explain to yourself why you liked that one better. Now imagine I tell you that you actually preferred the other face after your decision, before you start to talk, I will switch the position of the pictures and make sure you're looking at the face...show more content... Their aim was to measure how often the subjects notice a change with their choice during and after the experiment. The experimenters presented two photographs of female faces and after that they were asked which one they find the most attractive. After the experimenters gave them a closer look at the photograph that they choose, they asked them to immediately explain why they chose that photo. The results turned out that most of the subjects failed to notice that the picture they were looking at was not their original choice and the explanation of their choice was: "I prefer this one because I prefer blonde" when his original choice was not a blonde but a brunette. Most people would have notice that change but the results shows that 75% of the trials were blind to the Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 2. Essay about Making Good Choices. Making Good Choices By: Keria Owens Making choices can affect any and everything in your life whether it's dealing with your family or just everyday situations. Everyone in life is faced with good and bad choices that can either have a good outcome on your life or it can make a turn for the worst. Yes, everyone wants to make good choices in life. But does that always happen? Nine times out of ten know. Recently, I made a bad choice that affected my life in numerous ways for instance when I got caught shoplifting my parents looked down on me as if I was this thief. I'm very embarrassed of my actions but there's nothing I can do to erase it I can only make this a learning experience and make better choices next time around. As teenagers...show more content... Often times it can be difficult if not impossible to make what you think at that moment will be the right choice. One of the biggest factors that will hold people back is that to too often than not we are not completely clear on what type of result or outcome we want from a situation. Think about it, if you don't really know what kind of result you want it is going to be pretty hard to know what choice is going to be the right one. So what do you do? You get a clear understanding, before you make any choice. Think about its effects in the longterm, and short term. Knowing exactly what you want is very powerful. We have all heard the golden rule; do onto others as you would have them do onto you. This is probably one of the most important ideas to keep in mind when making good choices. When we are young a lot of us develop this me, me, me, attitude. We want all the toys, and we don't want to share. Now this mentality may get us a lot of toys, but it defiantly doesn't help you make friends. In this day and age a large part of personal success is based on working with others to achieve our goals. If we can help others get what they want, it will be much easier and they will be much more willing to help us get what we want. So when making any choice it is always ideal to think about how can I Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 3. Essay Fate or Choice Destiny is no matter of chance. It's a matter of choice. It is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved," quoted by William Jennings Bryan. One of the most debated questions in history is whether our lives are ruled by fate or by own choice. William Shakespeare brings this question into play in his production Romeo and Juliet. Although fate does seam to be ruling over every situation, I believe that choice has more to do with this story then it's really credited to. Even in the opening lines, this play drills into your head the inevitable outcome of the two lover's deaths. When the chorus uses the phrase Star crossed lovers (I, 1,6) it clearly shows William Shakespeare's thoughts on what killed Romeo and Juliet. This ...show more content... He says that Fortune tricked him into killing Tybalt. Romeo could have also stayed in Verona and faced the consequences of his actions instead of fleeing to Mantua. Lastly, when Romeo found out of "Juliet's death" if he would of took some time to pray, or even thought of what he was going to do before resorting to suicide, he would have been in the tomb on time for the Friar to arrive and explain everything. I would have strongly suggested to Romeo to slow everything sown. If he would have taken some time just to stop and reflect many terrible things wouldn't of happened.      Likewise Juliet also made some irrational decisions. It was fate when Juliet was outside thinking on her balcony, and Romeo happened to be strolling outside also. One example of her irrational decisions was when Romeo was wooing her, she could have resisted, but she didn't. And on the balcony scene, Juliet constantly questioned his love for her, and rushed him into marriage, by saying things like, "If thy purpose marriage, send me word tomorrow," (II, ii, 143& 144). And when Romeo sends for her to marry him, she didn't have to shown up, yet she chose to. Later on, when she was engaged to Paris she could have been honest with her parents and told them about Romeo. They might not have liked it, but at least then, her and Romeo would be alive. Juliet could have also of made the choice of going to Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 4. Choices In The Life Of Matilda By Margaret Atwood Individual choices change from time to time, but certain choices change the individual life and everything around it. In this book the characters make choices that will change their lives forever. One of the important choices in the book is Matilda's choice to leave the island. Also, Mr. Watts' choice to leave the white world and live on an island with his black wife (Grace), where he is the only white person, his choice is an important choice that changes many people lives including Matilda's. Matilda is a thirteen years old girl who lives with her mother (Dolores) after her father left to work in Australia in Townsville. She makes a choice in the end of the book that changes her life forever. After her mothers and Mr. Watts' death she...show more content... He left his wife and married Grace and decides to leave his home and come to an island where he is the only white person. "For the young kids the sight consisted only of a white man towing a black woman."(P.2)Said Lloyd Jones in the beginning of the book describing how the black kids looking at Mr. Watts. His choice was a result from his knowledge, from reading books. When he fell in love with Grace he did not care what color her skin is, or what language she speaks. That was his choice to be with a black woman and live with her around her people. Likewise, Pop eye told the redskins that he was Pip, which made everyone on the island surprise. He chooses to be Pip to save the rest of the people on the island. The redskins killed Mr. Watts because he claimed to be Pip and none of the redskins knew that e was lying to them. But after Pop eye's death the person who had problems with him stood up for him. Even though he was already dead, Dolores, Matilda's mother said "Sir, I saw your men chop up the white man. He was a good man. I am here as God's witness."(P.205)Her braveness caused her life. Matilda's choice demonstrates her values and it impacts the community around her. She knew that she had to survive for her father. Her choice showed the rest of the people on the island that she did not give up, and give them hope not to forget who they are.

  • 5. Pro-Life Essay examples Pro–Life English I 1 Abortion, when the topic comes up, it is usually something people do not like to discuss. People may tend to avoid this issue for fear of offending or angering others but it is extremely important that the horrors of this brutal practice be addressed. During the years 1965–1996 over 515 million babies have been murdered, this is if you add the number of chemical and surgical abortions (www.rockforlife.org). This is what we need to understand: abortion kills and we need to know where it came from. The legalization of abortion started in Mississippi in the year 1966; it was used in the cases of rape. Then other states began to expand the use of abortion. For instance, if it was the case of rape,...show more content... One way is called Partial Birth Abortion (D&X); it can kill babies up to thirty–two weeks old. The abortionist (murderer in this case) removes all of the baby from the mother except for the head, he then jab a pair of scissors in the back of the babies skull and then he uses a suction hose to suck out the babies brain. Then he uses forceps to crush the babies' skull and pull the rest of the babies' body out. Salt poisoning is also used, where salt is injected and the bay dies of convulsions due to salt poisoning (www.rockforlife.org). If they can say this is not murder, then what is? Abortion is not painless for the mother either. Over ninety–seven percent of women have reported feeling pain it is often described as intense, severe, or very severe. Abortion is also not without side effects. Complications such as bleeding, hemorrhaging, menstrual disturbances or inflammation of the reproductive organs. Sometimes abortion can cause damage to the uterus and make the woman infertile for the rest of her life. (Abortion some medical facts pamphlet.) Also if you are a women and have had an abortion you increase your chances of having breast cancer by fifty percent. Abortion has no good results in for the mother or the poor murdered baby. In the end it will always cause physical and emotional pain. What do religious beliefs have to do with abortion? They have everything to do with

  • 7. Chapter 3 Philosophical Viewpoints The question that the textbook poses at the very beginning of chapter four is, "Are you Free" (Chaffee, 2013, p. 172)? Most people would look at this question as pretty cut and dry and would answer a resounding yes. Philosophically speaking, it is not that easy of an answer. You have to be willing to look at the question with an open mind, and ask yourself if the choices you make are truly free or if they are governed by forces outside of your control. In the following paper I intend to compare and contrast the three major philosophical viewpoints regarding this question, and come to a conclusion on which I find to be the right answer.

The determinists believe that people are molded by outside forces such as human nature, their environment, psychological forces, and social dynamics (Chaffee, 2013, p. 173). Human nature refers to the inborn nature that every person is genetically hardwired with. In other words we can't have free choice because we cannot alter our fundamental character (Chaffee, 2013, p.173) Being a product of our environment is saying that we make choices based off of life experience. An example would be a person who grew up in an environment where he was taught to give to charity as opposed to someone who was raised in the projects and commits an armed robbery to provide for himself. According to determinists in either case the person isn't responsible for their actions because they didn't choose their environment and were molded by forces beyond their control (Chaffee, 2013 p. 173). Psychological forces refer to the deep psychological impulses that govern our choices and they are formed by people's earliest relationships and experiences. Based on this point of view, people may think they are in control but in reality are being controlled by unseen psychological forces. An example would be if you were a habitual liar it really isn't your fault because you are compelled to lie by psychological forces over which you had no control (Chaffee, 2013, p.173). Determinists also believe that we make choices Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 8. Persuasive Essay On Choices In Life I believe that everyone in this life has choices. The choices we make define who we are as people and what we stand for. Choosing one path over another may be the best or worst decision you could ever make. However, once you have chosen, stick to your decision because you made that choice for a reason. Even if it is to have lunch at a certain restaurant over another, or a bigger decision like choosing your major. Something in your life helped you make that decision, and the worst thing you can do is live your life with the regret of a choice. If your decision ends up badly, simply make another choice. Choose a new path. In the words of my oh so wise History teacher, "Never second guess yourself because that's worse than making the wrong choice in the end." One of the best examples that comes to mind is a story I heard a few weeks ago, based on a real event. In 1979, a man named Lee Strobel and his family went to a restaurant one evening and he gave his 7 year old daughter a nickel to get a gumball from the machine and a few moments later, she came back to the table choking on the gum. They didn't know what to do and if they waited for an ambulance they feared it would be too late. All of a sudden, a woman came up and said that she is a nurse and can help. The woman, after getting the gumball out of the little girl, told her parents that her and her husband were headed to another restaurant when all of a sudden she made a last minute choice to go here. Because of her choice, a little girl's life was saved. Hearing stories such as this one, reminds me of all of the choices I have made, and how they have affected me. When I was 6, my family up and moved to a new school called Knox County. I loved it there for I had so many friends and nothing bad ever happened. Then at the end of 5th grade, my dad got a new job so we moved schools again. This time I was 11 and starting middle school at a small school called Pilot Grove, and I've been here ever since.

  • 9. My Career Choice Essay I have not fully decided on a career choice, but if you ask me I would pick nursing. I would choose nursing because of the many self rewarding tasks you can achieve while being a nurse. For example helping and tending to an elderly who has no strength to complete tasks anymore because of old age. Nursing is such a great career choice, I can see myself doing well within the career and also being financially stable because of good pay. Also another detail I noticed in being a nurse is how flexible your schedule can be. I believe that this career, nursing, would be something I would enjoy and be comfortable with. I can also see it bringing me happiness in ways that I can help families who have a loved one or friends who are need of urgent care. Without nurses there would not be that certain individual to help another human being out at their toughest times. After graduating from high school there is a range of nursing careers I can try to pursue. Getting an education to achieve a bachelors in nursing is a very long process. Achieving a diploma or an associates degree would be about two years in a community college or any vocational nursing schools. Getting an associates degree would be the quickest way possible, but the job offerings are way less. You can decide to go further than an associate's degree which is the License Practical Nurse (LPN) or Registered Nurse (RN). An LPN student can pursue forward to become an RN later on.

After a few years, you start ascribing certain meanings to certain sounds. With this new language, you are able to describe yourself at two years old. Because you are two years old, there are many things you don't understand. One night, your mother feeds the cat before she feeds you. This upsets you. Why would she do that? Surely, you're more important to her than the cat is. She didn't like that. She asks you why you're upset. You don't have the words to answer her, but you knew the reason. Several years later, you're seven and she asks you why you're upset. This time it's because you've gotten bored and haven't thrown your food across the kitchen in a while. You're fifteen now, and it's time to make some big choices. But you decide not to decide just yet. You've made all sorts of choices in the past and who knows what you'll do in the future.
