- 6391: Advice I Often Receive From Parents
- Advice I Often Receive From Parents A piece of advice that I often receive is "as long as you do your best." This refers to success in everything from school to careers. I believe that this is good advice because it tells me that they trust my judgment and will respect my decisions, even if they are the wrong ones. This helps to take pressure off of me when I am going to school because I don't have to live up to certain standards and try to accomplish goals that are unattainable. Instead, I can just worry about doing the best I can. It is possible that I ...

We waited for the fire drill to finish and ... pushed together and facing each other. There were about twelve seats in each group, so there were about 24 students in the class. Apparently, the class had just been returning from a trip to the school library when the fire drill went off, so when they came in they were still carrying their library books. The students were asked to take their seats and they did so quietly. Everyone's eyes ...
- 6393: Getting The Most From Our Education
- ... parents they made mistakes, as did I, but they did their best. And I did my best to make amends to them when I drifted.

(one of the reasons I'm alittle reluctant to go back to college) But the values I learned young seem to be the ones ... reach out and help someone, I fell good. It was great to see the students of General Brown help out in the community with the Thanksgiving dinner for the seniors (I know there was another school that helped out too, I forgot who, if someone else remembers, please jump in and add their thanks to the list).

- 6395: Perseus The God Helped
- ... a monster such as the one in the story. Any normal man would cringe at the though and promptly back away. Unlike a mare commoner, the epic hero, Perseus, goes into battle with his sward high. This displays an enormous amount of courage. Such bravery can only be classified as epic. But Medusa puts Perseus's courage to an even greater test. Any man, having only "a glimpse" of this snake ... this gift, one can deduce that the gods must see him as an epic hero. They would not give such a thing to a man not worthy of it. The standards of the gods are high and the only men of epic standards are deserving of their favors. Since the gods seem to care about Perseus and therefore help him, it is clear that he is an epic hero. With courage ...
- 6396: Education Through The Television
- Education Through The Television "TV is justly called `the boob tube'." I disagree, in my opinion, television has many positive and informational uses. Television is now being used more in school because it is proven that students remember and comprehend better than from a regular class lecture. Television has always been good for spreading the news of current world events but it is now being used for more educational and informational documentaries. Television is becoming more and more an educational essential for children. Before they start school, children learn many basic and fundamental tools from television.

It is a Romanesque building, three stories high, with large pillars in the front. Ivy grows up one side of the building. The green grass in the courtyard is immaculately kept. The United States flag flies high above the building. Etched in stone on the front wall of the courthouse are the words" truth, justice, and liberty." This is a place where one should feel truly safe. As I walk inside the ...

- ... problem peeling myself away from a certain activity. As odd as it may sound, my own computer dominated my life. I remember the situation quite clearly. In the typical day, I would return home from school at around 3:00 or so. You see, most kids would set their backpack down in their bedroom, head to the kitchen and grab a snack. On the other hand, I was different. The second ... my bedtime was supposed to be around 10 or 11 in the evening, I would manage to stay up on this computer until sometimes as late as 3 in the morning, and this was on school nights as well.
