An Incident that made you Believe in Fate
Honestly I have no idea where I might stand on this one, as I have had things happen, that needed to happen for many reasons, occur out of the blue and make enormous changes in my life. At the same time I am all for my own free will and making what I wish to happen a reality through hard work and smiles, but I can say that there is one incident that happened that made me realize that maybe our lives are pre destined .

April 21, 2009 was the day of my high school senior prom everything leading up to that day went so smoothly I couldn’t have expected anything bad happening to me or anyone else. As the day went on, getting ready for the big night everything still seemed pretty normal. My mother bought me a brand new Nissan Maxima; my grandmother put extra money in my pocket, everything was going so well. As the night went on; having fun and dancing with my friends it seemed like nothing could go wrong, I even won a Mac book from the contest drawings. My high school prom was nearly over it was 7am and I had to drive on the opposite side of town just to drop my date off, as I head back to my side of town on the interstate I start to feel a little drowsy, I try everything and anything in my power to stay awake whether it was rolling the window down or blasting my music or even talking to myself. All of that effort ended up with me falling asleep on the interstate going a hundred miles per hour into pickup truck. Once I collided with the truck I instantly woke up with the airbag in my face and smoke coming through the window with the hood bent back. As I pulled off the road I was placed in an ambulance while getting questioned by the police after that I was hauled off to the nearest emergency room where I walked out with only a bruised sternum; two chest contusions; and a bruised wrist, the doctor told me “that I was lucky to be alive and he must really have a plan for

    It was Monday, May 30th, 2011. My family was driving home from a hotel we were staying at in Virginia, after going to Kings Dominion for my birthday day the day before. On the way home, we stopped at a Cracker Barrel for breakfast. During our meal, we got a call from my aunt telling us that my uncle, my mother’s brother, was in the hospital. Only a few days before he had moved back to Guatemala without saying goodbye to me. Once we were back on the road, my mother continued to get phone calls updating us about what was happening down there, as each call came through we all became more and more anxious wait for the answer. Then it came it just wasn't the answer we were hoping for, my mother began pushing on the walls of the car as if they were…

    It was the middle of an away sophomore baseball game against DeWitt. My brother, Keegan, was up to bat. The pitch came, he swung and down he went. The baseball came off his bat and drilled him in the left eye. There was only one parent there, one of Keegan’s teammate’s dad. He drove Keegan to the hospital and called my parents. At the time, I was at a softball game working the scoreboard for the varsity West Delaware Hawks team. My mom called to tell me my grandma would pick me up when I was done and that her and my dad were on their way to the Iowa City hospital. My dad was at work at the time and met my mom there. They would explain more later. After they got down there and I got home with my sisters, I called my mom. She gave me an explanation…

Everything at the rink was just fine till they closed the child rink and turned it into something that would make more money. I was speed skating when I came around the corner and instantly was greeted by a child falling in front of me.

Basically breaking my right skate, when I finally regained my balance I exited the floor mad and in a moment of rage.…

    The sky was nice and clear. It wasn’t too hot or too cold. It was perfect. It was a typical third grade day. My friends and I were in recess, goofing around, having fun. We sat on the benches and joked around. Next thing I knew my friend was on my back and I was carrying him around. Not aware of my surroundings, I tripped over a bench, closed my eyes, braced for impact, and fell face first into the dirt. I got up feeling dazed and the first thing I hear is a scream. Confused, I looked over to my friend and her face was a mixture of scared and shocked. I saw friends run to the restroom to get me paper towels, but others told me to go to the office. As I walked to the office, I began to feel pain in my lip. I walked into the office speechless.…

    It was October third a thursday night after our freshman football game. Lying in bed, not able to sleep, I hear the doorbell ring and parents going down stairs. Peaking my head around the corner to see who it could be at 11:03 pm. Just to see two state troopers standing in the doorway. My mind and heart automatically beginning to race, and my heart instantly dropping. To hear “I'm sorry to say but your son has been killed in a car accident in Ames Iowa”. A devastating night I will remember forever. With emotions being spilled and tears being shed it’s hard to stay strong for each other in that specific moment, but I know that I have to be there…

    Society molds us into the people we are today. Depending on what part of society we come from usually determines what will be valued in a spouse. In Deborah Siegel’s article “The New Trophy Wife”, she writes about what men value in a woman. Siegel mentions the difference between what educated and rich men used to value in history and what they value today. She compares men in the past who valued beautiful women to men in the modern society who value bright and accomplished women. Rich men and working class men want different things in a spouse. Unlike rich men, working class men value educated and successful women who can contribute to their family.…

    However, some people like to think that fate plays a role in your destiny. As goes the saying “it’s meant to be”. I don’t disagree but think it’s merely just an excuse for the things in life that are unexplainable. We cannot control every part of our lives, no, but we can make changes to enhance it or make it to our liking. Having a positive attitude will withstand a positive outcome for your destiny. Make your life what you want it to be and the rest should fall right into place.…

    last semester i learned lot of things including different type of disaster this includes the volcanic eruption, storms, earthquake and more i also learned about drugs how to determine and what does it cause but for me its No To Drugs. Drug abuse at the workplace is a serious issue in our society and will become even more serious in the future. In phillipines drug and alcohol abuse is already a grave workplace problem. Employees usually don’t leave their drug and alcohol abuse problems at the door when they enter the workplace. Companies have to face problems like the increase of accidents, medical claims, the workers tardiness and absentees, selling drugs to co-workers or stealing from employers. Drug testing at work can be one way to implement a more efficient work environment and control or monitor such difficulties.They also had random drug testing were they would pick a certain percentage of the employees and randomly choose people to take the test. In conclusion these drug tests make the workplace more productive, safer, and overall better for the environment. i also learned lot of things from the topic citizenship on the phillipines. The documentaries that we have watched show that the Philippines are encountering many problems in state of education especially on rural areas. The government seems to forget those places because they are the one who are experiencing many problems especially in lack of teachers and school supplies. Also, the buildings of the school needs more repair or should I say it needs to be change and have a new and a better building. The students in those schools are also suffering regarding to the distance of the schools they are attending. Also, the students are exposed to early child labor to help their family and because of having a big family; some of them can’t go to high school because of lack of money. Solving these problems is not that easy. Far areas are hard to contact with. Also, it is hard to find teachers who are willing to…
