college essay
As a child I was really afraid of doctors. I hated going to one when ever I got sick or had a doctors appointment. I remember this time I had to go to the doctors for blood test. I didn't want to go so I hid under my bed unfortunately my mom found me. The doctors office was busy that day and I saw many little kids going in and coming out crying from the office. After watching them I started crying as well. The check up went painlessly as possible until it was time for my blood test. I was so scared that I just ran out of the office. My mom with the help of a nurse dragged me back into the office. At that point I just wanted to run and go home. The nurse held me tightly while the doctor got the needle ready. I was too scared to look so I closed my eyes. After it was over the doctor gave me a sticker and a lollipop.
Thinking about this makes me realize that doctors arent as bad as i thought they were. They help feel better when you are sick and make sure that you stay healthy. This encouraged me to become a doctor well a pediatrician to be exact. I want to make doctors appointement for little kids as painless as possible. I want to keep kids healtly and happy.

Sat vocabulary poem!!
Man Up
His face is augmented by the shadows that surround him
His haphazard is like a cool breeze on the skin
He walks as if emoting for all to see
But is recluse
He vindicates his role as a virtuoso
He smiles but is in total oblivion to those who are engraved by him
He doesn't dilatory
He is spontaneous
But not too haphazard
When looking into his eyes you feel like you are in an asylum
You are cajoled by how he infiltrates your thoughts
He doesn't dictate or give adulations
He doesn't say the reciprocal of what he feels
Nor does he repudiate what is thrown at him
He is not arid when he extenuates his thoughts
His statements aren't hackneyed or skeptical
He mitigates the truth to make a replica to the harsh facts of life
He speaks of disparity with deplore
His thoughts and ideas are perpetual towards volatile
All he entreats is jubilation
For fidelity to venerate
Those who wish to change the perquisite ways of the world

Charles Alexandra Eastman
Speech by Charles Eastman and me
"The true Indian sets no price upon either his property or his labor. His generosity is limited only by his strength and ability. He regards it as an honor to be selected for difficult or dangerous service and would think it shameful to ask for any reward, saying rather: "Let the person I serve express his thanks according to his own bringing up and his sense of honor. Each soul must meet the morning sun, the new sweet earth, and the Great Silence alone!. What is Silence? It is the Great Mystery! The Holy Silence is His voice!
-Charles Eastman was born in February 19, 1858 on reservation near Redwood and died in January 8, 1939.

Each soul must meet the morning sun, the new sweet earth, and the Great Silence alone!. What is Silence? It is the Great Mystery! The Holy Silence is His voice!
Whenever, in the course of the daily hunt, the hunter comes upon a scene that is strikingly beautiful or sublime -- a black thundercloud with the rainbow's arch above the mountain, a white waterfall in the heart of a green gorge, a vast prairie tinged with the blood-red of the sunset -- he pauses for an instant in an attitude of worship and prayer.
He sees no need for setting apart one day in seven as a holy day, because to him everyday is gods day. Children must early learn the the beauty of generosity. They are taught to give what they prize most, that they may taste the happiness of giving"

analyze and identify rhetoric and persuasive language.
Do Now: Can you recall a quote, speech, parable or lesson that inspired you, changed your perspective on life, or made you stop and think? Identity it and explain reasons why.
"The whole of life is but a moment of time. It is our duty, therefore to use it, not to misuse it."
-Plutarch
This quote made me stop and think that life can be really short, short as a moment, so we should live our life and do something good with it instead of misusing it and do bad things to people. I like this quote because it direct and if you really think about it. Its true.
The Gettysburg Address
Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
But in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate - we cannot consecrate - we cannot hallow - this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember, what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us - that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion - that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain - that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom - and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
Abraham Lincoln - November 19, 1863
