Personal Connection I chose this poem because my dad is very relatable to the war considering he was in it. My dad joined the army when he was 20 years old in 1939. My father was in the army for a long time as many things. My dad has received many medals from the war. The poem connects me and my dad because he tells me all of his amazing stories of when he was in the war. This isn’t the best kind of experience like nothing else. When he tells me these stories I really feel connected to my

Many regard World War II as the best war ever‚ but why? It seems the one fact that stands out in American minds is that the Allied Powers were fighting against people who were perceived as "evil”‚ such as Adolf Hitler and Emperor Hirohito. Many disregard all the casualties and hardships and only think about the big picture: victory. Michael C. C. Adams’ book‚ The Best War Ever: America and World War II‚ attempts to dissipate all of the misconceptions of the Second World War. Americans came out of

Every year‚ I always receive a lot of gifts from my parents and friends on my birthday. But last year‚ I received a special gift from my best friend. It was my birthday. I was presented many colourful and expensive gifts. But my best friend did not give me a gift like that. She gave me a small blue box and said that: “This is my special gift for you. I hope you will like it.” I was very curious about what was in the box. I opened it. It was a scarf! But it was not colourful‚ it was blue and white

I chose to speak on the topic The Best or Worst person I ever worked with. It required me to take a good look at my work history. So far‚ I have been fortunate to work with good people and for good management as a whole. One manager; however‚ stands out in my mind as superlative and worthy of the title “Best person I ever worked with.” His demeanor was calm‚ he enabled individuals to act autonomously‚ and he acknowledged hard work and achievements. For this presentation I will address this person

I bought my first car when I was sixteen years old‚ knowing nothing but the basic tune-up skills. I bought a 1982 Datsun 280ZX for $1200.00 and couldn’t be happier with my purchase. The vehicle had only 100‚000 miles on it‚ even though it was almost thirty years old. The car ran well already but I did my best to get it running as close to new as possible. I purchased new spark plugs‚ a new air filter‚ and also bought a couple new electrical components to replace the old ones. I didn’t quite know

The Best Cover Letter I Ever Received Harvard Business Review – David Silverman - 1:18 PM Monday June 15‚ 2009 In my last post I talked about how to make your résumé more likely to catch the attention of a hiring manager. As a follow up‚ I’d like to discuss cover letters. Here’s my basic philosophy on them: don’t bother.
