¶ … People and Events
I was 14 when my parents died in 1998. My younger brother and I were left with no financial support. It was devastating and scary, as I had to grow up really fast. I learned that the ones you love the most can be gone in an instant. Being born, raised, and educated in a small town in India, I had developed small town ideas. I had to change the way I thought about living and survival.
In order to survive, I went on the road and worked as a part-time teacher seven hours a day to provide bread for myself and my younger brother. I knew that life would never get any better without education. I continued my education while I worked. The days were long and hard trying to get my education and work to survive at the same time. This went on until 2002 when I finished my Bachelors in Computer Science. I continued teaching and working on my education with some financial aid until 2004, when I graduated with a Master's in Computer...
This experience taught me independence as I had only myself to rely on. It also taught me responsibility as my younger brother relied on me as well for survival. Without working, we would have no food to eat. I learned the value of hard work and how to survive tough times.
In 2001, I met a girl. For several years we saw each other and talked a lot getting to know each other. This experience taught me about relationships and how they develop and grow. It was new to have someone outside my family to talk to and help me to resolve problems of difficulty. It was a new experience to be able to share laughs and good times with someone who cared. I learned that there was more to life that working and getting education. There was actually good times that made life easier to bear. I married this girl in 2006.
I started learning about different cultures when I was given office assignments in China and Finland during 2006 and 2007.…
In January, 2008, my wife and I settled in the U.S.A. This brought about more learning experiences as the multitude of cultures that are in the U.S.A. taught me different things. It taught me more ways that needed to be communicated among the different cultures. The belief systems from each culture had different values that needed to be communicated in various ways, depending on the culture being dealt with at the particular time.
My life changed forever when my parents died. The way I had to learn to survive and still get my education taught a lot of independence. With my younger brother relying on me as well, I learned more about responsibility of caring for others. Meeting my wife had even more lessons as I learned more about relationships and the act of sharing life with someone else. I no longer had to take all the responsibility of life alone. My wife had become a lifelong partner to share the good and the bad, the struggles and the happy times. At 34, living in Seattle, WA and working for SAP America as a Technical Account Manager, life has become so much better. Because of education, I have the abilities to provide a greater degree of support for myself and a loved one, my wife.
All the hard work I had to experience when my parents died paid off with making life easier by learning to survive the tough times of working and attending school, as well as, the efforts of being responsible to support my brother while he worked for his own education. Having a wife to be a partner in life and a good paying job makes life easier as well enjoy the fruits of my labor together. I no longer have the stress of survival with my brother like we did when my parents died.
At which point, they were seen as a neutral between the two different sides. ("Egypt Revolution," 2011) The protestors played a role in the conflict, by pushing for various changes to take place. This is despite the fact that they were: attacked, some of their key leaders were sent to jail and access the Internet was shut down. Yet, despite these different obstacles the underlying message would spread through the
1960's through the 1980's (and Beyond) The chosen historical event is actually a 4 1/2-year phenomenon: Kenneth Starr's extensive investigation of President and Mrs. William Clinton, culminating in the impeachment of President Clinton. Given the leeway of choosing an event from later than the 1960s through the 1980s, an event was chosen from the 1990s. The choice was not necessarily made due to the writer's relative youth but due to
The study will also be important to those in the future, because scientists have not yet found ways to cure these chronic illnesses or correct some of these problems that are seen today, and therefore it stands to reason that there will be more people in the future who will have to face the same problems as those with chronic illnesses and traumatic injuries today. Scope of the Study The scope
Because of the widespread stigma against homosexuality in the United States and worldwide, medical research was thwarted and the disease became virtually synonymous with homosexuality. It would take the death of one of America's most beloved, and seemingly straight, movie stars to prove that AIDS could affect anyone (Hiller 1985). When Rock Hudson died of the disease in 1985, Americans could see not only that homosexuality was normal and pervasive
Homeland Security Event Over the last ten years, Homeland Security has been focused on dealing with a wide variety of terrorist attacks. In most cases, these incidents usually involve some kind of intelligence indicating that a terrorist related incident was about to occur. One recent example of this happened in October 2011, with a failed assassination attempt on the Saudi Arabian Ambassador. When the news was first announced, this seemed
Generally the number and range of events in all countries including those in Australia are growing, and events are increasingly viewed as entertainment and big business (Hillary, 1997:2). Events of the future are more and more seen as a way to compete for the public's leisure time among other things, and a way for event sponsors and organizers to reach target markets through enjoyable activities (Hillary, 1997:3). Generally current and future
