Siddhartha The Buddha
Words: 871 - Pages: 4.... writings.
Religions of any kind, which existed ever since there is humanity, tell us that the meaning of life is to follow the rules of God or to reach God. That is the unique similarity of all religions. Every believer is promised a reward for his lifelong faith in the Almighty.

After perhaps 30 seconds of a field assessment, I saw a man with an extremely light pulse, the slightest of breathing, and a blood pressure of 40/0. The intruding knife used was no larger than a small blade pocketknife, one-quarter inch at its breath. It was similar in size to the knife that my father carried religiously in his pants pocket. The signs I noted in my evaluation, coupled with the knowledge of other signals, pointed to one thing . . . pericardial tamponade.

But this is not enough; boredom settles in and Dr. Faustus begins to search for
the ultimate power - magic. As Dr. Faustus becomes excited over this prospect, he states, "O what a world of profit and delight, Of power, of honor, of omnipoten .....

Teaching

teacher was all about. Everyday I had papers to grade, a lesson to teach, and
children to work with. Without the opportunity to participate in the internship
program I would only have a few ideas behind what it was like to be a teacher.
I was also part of the Alexander FFA PALS program. This program allowed me
