School has always been my biggest priority since I started middle school. In sixth grade I wasn’t the best student I could be. Instead of getting all A’s‚ I was getting B’s and C’s. I was one of the lazy students. Although I always turned in my homework but I never showed very good effort on it. In 7th grade I wanted to change everything! The way I act‚ work‚ performed‚ etc. Believe me when I say that I changed. My whole 7th grade year I had a 4.0 GPA. Do you want to know how I did it? I built

Imagine a farmhand going to sleep around 500 A.D. and waking up in 1450 A.D. while having the world seem no more advanced than it was when he went to sleep. The Middle Ages were a time of nearly no scientific discovery due to the strong grip of the Catholic Church throughout the period. The ideals of humanism and the spirit for scientific discovery were beginning to rise during the Medieval Era. It was the humanist world view‚ with its spirit of inquiry‚ in addition to the diminishing grip of the

Middle Adulthood By: Michelle Kuchera From the time I was a child I can remember listening to the adults around me talking about “getting older.” They described the physical aches and pains as well as the loss of memory and slower reflexes in both fine and large motor skills. I heard women complaining of wrinkles‚ while men lamented about “the good old days‚” when they felt more carefree and lived like there was no tomorrow. Nearly everyone I know who has reached the age of fifty has begun to find

The Middle Ages was an interesting time period. All around the world things were happening‚ but the spotlight stayed on Europe. The Middle Ages was a period of insecurity‚ famine‚ and religious war. Christianity was the main focus of religion in the Middle Ages. As a system called Feudalism rose‚ many people turned toward God as a safe haven. For many people there was not much to live for. When the people died‚ they wanted to get to heaven to experience eternal happiness. In 1056 a.d. the Byzantine

Women in the Middle Ages In the middle ages‚ the typical woman would not have had the freedom to do what she wanted; she would have to obey the male members of her family. This included her husband‚ brothers‚ uncles and even her own sons (http://www.middle-ages.org.uk/). However‚ there were many women who did not fall under this category of typical women and would manipulate‚ control or disobey the men around them giving them more power. In "The Canterbury Tales" by Geoffrey Chaucer we have Emelye

Weapons and Arms in the Middle Ages In my observations of the Medieval time period I found the weapons to be brutal‚ and atrocious. From war hammers to napalm to the arquebus‚ this was by far the most in-humane advancement in weapons apart from modern day. The Medieval time went from about the 11th century to the 14th. During this time survival depended on the power of the certain ruler people served under. The power of the ruler depended directly upon his army and the army upon their weapons

In the Middle Ages‚ a knight was distinguished as an individual (stereotypically being a man) who obeyed the Code of Chivalry and also acquired exceptional abilities in battle. It was theoretically conceivable for any male to become a knight in the Middle Ages but the expenditures for becoming one were fairly overpriced and expensive. These expenses comprised preparation/training to become a knight‚ having a warhorse to ride on during battle and suitable weapons/ armour so it would be very rare for

Grade 6: In my opinion the sole purpose of middle school was so that all of the adolescent miscreants could be forced into one awkward prison. The proof was in the cafeteria‚ a minefield of strange social customs and noisy kids who seemed to enjoy nothing more than screwing up another person’s day. At least those were my thoughts when I first entered the overly powerful axe scented school. But at the table where I now sat around with friends new and old in all directions‚ my opinion was quickly morphing
