Reading Notes B: Sindbad Voyage

-
The Heroic section of the readings caught my eye. So, I decided to read his voyage stories. 
He was an inheritor of his parents wealth and spent it recklessly on things he desired. I can think of a couple scenarios of college students doing that. In order to fix the mess he made, he sold his house goods by public auction. and joined a company of merchants. 

They traveled from island to island where they sold and exchanged their merchandise. He experienced some hard times during traveling but when he arrived at an island the king lead him to the inhabited part of the island. 

I think this story resembles the life-style of a college kid that does not have responsibility. I can write a story about how the student receives money from their parents to pay their school bill and to pay their bills. However the students goes and spends the money on things that he desires. When he realize he has to pay his school bill he goes and sell the majority of the things that he should not have bought and maybe I will have him run into a Financial Aid counselor to help him like the king did in the original story.

Hello bloggers! My name is Taylor Calvert and I am a senior in the College of Arts and Sciences. My majors are General Science, Pre-Pharmacy and a Spanish minor. The coolest thing about my major is I am learning about the human body everyday. I personally think everyone needs to know more about the human body to properly take care of themselves. The cool thing about having a Spanish minor is being able to communicate with a larger audience. The best class I took when considering science is Human Anatomy because I learned so much about the human body hands on. I was grateful to have the opportunity to work on a cadaver, to see what the inside of our bodies really look like. I absolutely love to cook and to garden in my spare time! Ever since I was a little girl I have always loved flowers. My grandmother and I would always spend time gardening together. My favorite flowers are Hibiscus flowers and Roses. Both of these flowers have a wonderful fragrance. Outside of gardening you ...

Demon or My Child : Week 3 Story

I can remember like yesterday, it was the happiest day of my husband and I lives. We had our first child March 13th, 2002. Her name is Mahleeyha Calvert. As a baby she was the sweetest. I can remember every morning I would walk into her room and she would have the biggest smile on her face holding onto the side of her crib waiting for me. I swear he smile was brighter than the sun shinning on California. I treasure those days because recently she's been acting like a completely different child. It scares me. It is almost like something has possessed her. I came home after work as usual and I could hear a weird tapping noise and a random scream. I ran to her room thinking someone was hurting her but she spasming out and shaking her head furiously while tapping on the window by her bed. I was shook. I did not know if I need to hold her or run. She turned around abruptly and I could see my little girl in her eyes. She then ran past me, down the stairs and went outside. She grabbed t...
