Fair Guide Cover Reflection
In the summer of 2016, I decided to enter the Luzerne County Fair guide cover contest, but there was a problem, I had missed the deadline and would have to wait till next year. When the fair came around in September, the winning cover was better than what I could do. I was upset because I thought maybe I would never be good enough to win anything, especially not something

    Personal Narrative: Houston Calf Scramble

    So I started to prep my show box and trailer. I cleaned the box and the trailer, I got all my brushes back together and refilled my sope. Then it came time to leave so we loade Mady and Suzzie and we left for the show. When we got there and we were unloading Suzzie when Mady got loose from my dad and I had to chaser her all through the barn, but other then that it went very well. The next day that I got to the barn we had to start cleaning Suzzie up for her first big show and I was worried, but when it came time for me to start working it all just became nothing. The way that we got her show ready was by blowing her out to get all of the dirt out of her hair, then giving her a bath to get her smelling pretty like a girl. Then I blow her hair out to get her hair dry, and to get her hair to point the right way. Then I started to brusher her to get her hair just right once I got it how I wanted. That's when they called my class, and when I got there they sent me in. So I went in they told me to set her up for a butt profile, then a side profile. Then the judge started to place. Sadly he did not thank that we were that good. He placed use in sixth. I would have licked to have done better but it is what it is. So we load up and went home we would have to do this many more time all the time we would place in a different place, but this year in the Wilson County Show I was able to win my shorthorn class with…

    How Does Shirley Jackson Use Irony In The Lottery

    Usually, when one hears anything about a lottery, it is perceived as being a great fortune brought down upon whoever wins it, even if the person has done nothing to actually deserve it. After all, it is won only by a stroke of luck, an unforeseen and unexpected circumstance. But even so, it is supposed to bring wealth and luxury into the winner’s life. Not one person in today’s society would ever see the lottery as an unfortunate event that winning it would bring serious repercussions such as execution and death. On the contrary, “The Lottery,” written by Shirley Jackson, uses irony to exemplify how people can illogically follow senseless traditions and ultimately demonstrates how society can blindly persecute innocent individuals.…

    County Fair Research Paper

    I have always loved my county fair in Tulare, CA. I love seeing all the different animals and aspects of agricultural together in one place. My most positive thought of my fair is educating outsiders about my animals. This was my first time walking thru the Fresno fair so it was a little different not being involved in the dairy barn. I was able to view the fair as an outsider in some way. This let me realize some major aspects and some things I have never realized about the fair.…

    The Significance Of Sacrifice In Shirley Jackson's The Lottery

    (Introduction) “The Lottery,” a short story by Shirley Jackson, is about a woman who has been selected for sacrifice by a lottery drawing. Tessie Hutchinson, and the rest of her town, are unfeeling about how the annual sacrifice affects the selected. However, they carry on with their tradition year after year, with no intent to make changes to meet modern day morals and needs. “The Lottery” is about blindly following tradition, the awareness of how cruel a practice sacrificing is, and how one’s mindset can change when they are the chosen one.…

    For my activity points, I attended the Plate of the Union political event, a group that is focused on getting healthy, affordable food to all Americans. The Plate of the Union holds monthly meetings at various locations around the city, at a variety of restaurants, focused on getting healthier foods on the menu, ones that support local farmers. This organization needs the government to pitch in, especially the President, since they would help bring more awareness to the cause and allow more funds to be put towards this problem.…

    The Glass Castle Reflection

    “The Glass Castle” by Jeanette Walls is an extremely intriguing novel that really kept my attention throughout the whole story. The Walls family is definitely one that is unlike any I’ve ever come across, and the lessons that the children learned were ones that helped shaped their lives and made them who they are today. Jeanette obviously learned so much from her experience that she wrote a whole book about it, managing to hold the reader’s attention through all 281 pages. Jeanette Walls goes through many descriptions of situations that she faced that people normally should not face. For most of her childhood, she was traveling from place to place because her parents always thought that they would hit it big and never finding a steady job.…

    The Glass Castle Reflection

    Last week in class we read the Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls. The book showed what's it’s like to overcome adversity at anytime even when times are bad Jeannette Walls overcame her father's alcoholism and her mother's psychoness. The family was also going through a financial crisis so with the weight of everything on her she had to get over so much for her to be able to succeed in her later life. Jeanette was a very strong and determined person and she didn’t allow herself to use the homelessness or her father’s alcohol problems but more as opportunities. She felt as if the hardships were making her who she was and it allowed her to become such a strong and humble person. I have had much adversity but this was the hardest for me. A couple…

    How Opa Changed My Life

    I was nerve-wrecked, but I did my best in presenting my project. When the winners were announced, I was eagerly listening with a mildly beating heart. I was very disappointed when my name was not called. I was devastated, as I was an immature child at that time. I started tearing up and began doubting myself. My family and friends tried to console me, but eventually gave up. However, one thing that my teacher had said stuck with me. She said, “Life is too short for you to be doubting yourself; just try again next year and who knows, you might win”; I kept that piece of advice with me wholeheartedly. The following year, when I was in eighth grade, I participated in the science fair again. I put in the same effort, but one thing was different; my perspective. I thought that if I do win, then it will be an accomplishment for me. However, if I did not then it would act as a learning experience. I confidently presented my project to the judges with an open mind and no nerve-wrecking…

    Since the competition was in March, I started right away with looking over my notes, listening to and listening to interviews with the three health care professions I chose at the beginning of the year. March finally arrives and it’s time for the state competition at the Grand Ole Opry Hotel. This competition is three days long and consists of HOSA member that have placed first thru fifth at their regional competitions in over a 100 different competitions.

For the rest of the tome we are there I spend it with my friends and follow HOSA members. The morning of the third day was one of the anticipated time of my life up to that moment.

    Personal Narrative: My Experience At The Miss America Organization

    In the summer of 2015, I began my journey within the Miss America Organization when I was crowned Miss Oakland County’s Outstanding Teen. I never could have anticipated how significantly this experience would shape my life. Wearing a crown and sash was plenty of fun, but the materialistic stereotypes associated with pageantry were trivial pieces to my reign. That summer, I toured my state meeting and speaking for elected officials and community leaders, I completed more than one hundred hours of community service, and I became an ambassador for mental health awareness and education.…

    Reflective Reflection

    Reflection allows an individual to identify the reasons or purpose of understanding the outcome of a particular situation in depth in term of emotions on thought and feeling on the topic area. In addition, Reflection is something that we do implicitly as part of being human, underpinning our identities through a process of negotiation between our sense of self and our experiences of others (Demetriou, 2000, p.210). Therefore, I have implemented this quote in my professional and personal goals I wanted and have achieved thought-out the process of the module. I have made continues effort in building my confidence in situations that I have felt uncomfortable in.…

    Shelter Reflection Paper

    The last two days of this past week were quite busy at the Crisis Center. At one point, we had four open beds which allowed for many calls inquiring about shelter. Several callers I had to deny shelter because of previous interactions they had while receiving services from the agency. Others either partially completed or fully completed the intake paperwork but were not approved by approval staff. I was able to accept two people into shelter, but one did not show up in the allotted time. The client that did arrive at the shelter and proceed with check-in was Beth* and her seven month old son. This client had been in an abusive relationship with her husband for several years. The abuse was both physical and emotional. The abuse had become so horrific at points…

    Miss Tree University Accomplishment

    I was sitting backstage waiting to be called back up for crowning to get it over with and get out of the very uncomfortable dress. Finally they called the contestants back on stage. I stood at the very end of the contestant line. The first award the announced was Miss Congeniality, the announcer spoke into the microphone and stated Morgan Nobbe as the winner of the award. They placed a sash on my shoulder and continued on with the award ceremony. Next was second runner up and first runner up and like in sports I applauded for the winners. Finally it was down to the big award, the one that everyone had wanted. I stood there thinking I got Miss Congeniality and one of the older girls would win but was happy I was not going home empty handed and I had something to show that I stepped out of my comfort zone. The announcer began to announce the winner of the pageant and I was ready to clap but then the unthinkable happened, the announcer said my name. I am pretty sure that I went into shock when Miss Tree City 2013 was placing the crown on my head. Who would have thought that a short farm girl would win a…
