Abstract Choosing the major that I wanted to pursue in college, wasn’t an easy decision. I was never one of those kids that grew up knowing exactly what they wanted to do when they grew up, I wish I did. When I was in elementary school I thought that I wanted to cut hair, and then once I got into middle school I thought maybe I would want to be a fashion designer. Once I realized that neither one of these career choices were the one for me I started to get serious about a career for me. I soon realized after listening to my dad and working with a good friend, Nicki, that majoring in business administration and minoring in marketing would be a good choice for me.

Who Am I? My name is Taylor Davis. I was originally born in Boston, Massachusetts and then my family lived in Leesburg, Virginia for eight years until we moved to New Philadelphia, Ohio where I have lived for the past 11 years. I have grown up in a very large Italian family with two sisters, Tiffany and Taryn. One of the best things about my family is that we are very close; I don’t know where I would be without them. I spent most of my life in New Philadelphia, which is a very small town. My family owns three Harley-Davidson dealerships, so I have grown up being around the dealerships all my life. I have worked there since I was about 14 years old. Now, at 18 years old I really have learned about the business and enjoy spending time there with my family. Working and growing up in these Harley-Davidson dealerships have really helped make my decision of what I want to do with my life.

In the Beginning Growing up I was never really sure of a career choice that I wanted. I was never one of those kids who knew they wanted to be a doctor or a dentist or anything like that. I thought a lot simpler than that; I thought I wanted to cut hair. I was really close with one of my cousins when I was younger, and she is a beautician, and I thought she was the coolest person ever. So, of course I decided I wanted to be just like her and cut hair too. I thought that I wanted to cut hair and drive around in a silver convertible, and that that would be the best job ever.
Grade School In middle school, I tried to get a little more serious about a career. I realized that I really enjoyed going shopping and picking out clothes. I would go shopping with my mom, sisters, and cousin all the time, and I loved it. I would help my mom and sisters pick out clothes to buy and which outfits they should wear. I really loved clothes and shopping, so I started to think of careers that I could pursue with this. I mean, what could be better than having a job doing something that I love like shopping? So I started thinking of jobs that I could have with this hobby, and I came up with fashion designing. So, I started drawing and coming up with different designs of clothes that I liked, just for fun. I soon realized that I was terrible at drawing, which is an important part of this job, so I decided that this wasn’t exactly the best job choice for me.
High School When I entered high school I tried to start thinking of serious jobs that I would want to pursue for the rest of my life. I wanted to have a job that I really enjoyed going to every day, and could still have a good family life. I started working at my dad’s Harley shop in

The Role Of Foreshadowing In Elizabeth Taylor's Short Stories

All mentioned proves my point that Elizabeth Taylor’s cleverly written short story includes foreshadowing. She provides hints in a plot of “The fly-paper” in order to give some clues to what will happen in the story. To give an illustration of what I mean, I’ve explained some cases of foreshadowing above. Taylor is using this technique in many different ways: giving clues in surrounding, mirroring an identity of the protagonist in another object or subject, and little details which not many readers…

Taylor's Argument Analysis

In this paper I will argue that Taylor’s argument successfully establishes that every organism is an appropriate object of moral concern.

If an organism is seen as having inherent value, it means that that organism is an entity that has a good of its own and that it can be benefited or harmed without reference to any other organism. In his paper, Taylor argues that “we should not consider ourselves as privileged beings in regards…

For some artist it can take up to three months to write a song, for others they can write a song in five minutes or less. It all depends on who the artist is and if they are inspired to write or not.
