that week at camp, I probably wouldn’t have had the courage to run for Secretary that upcoming school year.
I also attended camp in 2013 as a Level 2 camper. My second year at camp didn’t focus so much on teamwork, but more on my own potential, not only in Student Council, but in all aspects of my life. I learned that I alone have the power to make a difference. Level 2 really encouraged me to take risks, and that if I was passionate about something then I could make it happen. All in all, Level 2 showed me that I am capable of accomplishing amazing things, and that I shouldn’t be afraid to try new ideas.
All the people I have met through MASC and all the events I have participated in have inspired me in so many aspects of my life and encouraged me to continually try to better myself as a person and as a leader.

CheerleaderThe first image in one's mind is a female who walks around in a short skirt, with her pony tail bobbing from side to side, and a grin that is as phony as her attitude. An airhead whose only response is "Ready?", "Okay!"; whose only physical coordination involves clapping her hands and stomping her feet. Obviously, not considered the brightest crayon in the box, right? She is just a pretty decoration standing on the sidelines, more worried about breaking a sweat, than about her team winning the game. Yet, some cannot imagine her breaking a sweat because to them, cheerleading is not a sport. However, contrary to what many perceive it to be, cheerleading aids in leadership skills

Life is continuous; life will go on.However, while in some ways Jim clings to the hope that life is indeed continuing outside the sphere of life that he has come to know, he also in a way hopes that life will remain still and stagnant. The novels three main characters, Ashley, Jim and Imogen are all opposed to the natural cycle of time in some way, yet Jim is more so than the others. In such a way, Malouf appears to be implying that humans cannot accept change and want to hang on to things just as they are at a particular point in time. This is evident when observing

There is one obvious member of the Simms family that we can admire, Jeremy. While other members of the family we dislike due to them being racist.

" And place your hands below your husband's foot. In token of which duty, if he please, my hand is ready, may it do him ease." Shakespeare has chosen to use submissive tone connotations such as 'ease' and 'duty' as a reminder of the roles both females and males had In the era, which suggests patriarchy was accepted and unchallenged.As an appropriation, "10 Things I Hate About You" represents the same ideas, though they are altered to suit the time and context.

"Is 10 things I hate about you an effective transformation which enriches the original text"In The Taming of the Shrew, there is a strong undercurrent of issues such as roles of women in society, appearance versus reality and the love of wealth which men have. Shakespeare portrays lively characters to depict these universal concepts and thus critiques the social conventions of patriarchal society. Gil Jugner has adapted 10 Things I Hate about You to further enrich and effectively transform the themes of which Shakespeare explored, although from a different approach as the context is updated to a more modern perspective helping the audience to relate and understand the concepts.Shakespeare

In actual fact, preconceptions based on gender are considered to be discrimination and can have severe consequences.Overall, this play is about masculine assertiveness, game-playing and masculine ideas. Shakespeare's brilliant use of language is the key to the success of this play. Through Shakespeare's language, themes of love, power, status and deception are conveyed to the audience.There are many similarities between "The Taming of The Shrew" and "Ten Things I Hate About You".

In "The Taming of the Shrew" by William Shakespeare, and "Ten things I hate about you", directed by Gil Junger, both contexts reflect the society of when each text was composed. When comparing these two texts and observing the themes, it is indisputable that these contexts have shown the similarity and differences of the values during the time, thus, it shows the evolution of society.Firstly, "The Taming of the shrew" suggests money to be a very important necessity of life during the time. It is a suitor's economic consideration which acts as a determinant to who marries whom. Both Bianca and Katherine are viewed upon by their suitors as "treasures".

The expected profitability of investment opportunities is important because companies issue bonds to raise money.

Let’s start with what money is and what it does. Money is “anything that is generally accepted in payment for goods and services.” (Mishkin, 2010) Money needs to have value to the people within a society in order to fill this role. One of the primary roles of money is to be used as payment for goods or services; it also reflects value or price levels and retains value over time. Currency is the actual form of the “acceptable” money. Money that is made of a
