Journal #18: Reaction - Writing

“Do Not Stand at My Grave and Weep” is poem by Mary Elizabeth Frye. This poem is the message from person who death. He does not want people that he loves and still alive feel sad with his death.

I think that I feel depress and sorry with this situation. The death hurt everybody and it changes everything. Even the man in poem try to make people does not cry at his grave, and he said that he still there. I also feel grim with the death. In my opinion, this man is really kindly.
He cares people behind him.

I also feel frightened with the loss. And, of course, nobody can getaway this situation. This fear emotion comes to my mind.

Journal #17: Anticipating your Parents' Objections

Dear Dad and Mom;

As you know that I want to marry my boyfriend. I know you want me to get the best thing in my life. I know you love me so much and I also love you too. But he is a good man and he really loves me. I convince that he will never make you and I disappoint with him.

You may think that he is too young for me. However, he got a really good job as an engineer in big company. He already planed our future together. He has a good background. And, of course, the most important thing is we love each other.

May I marry with this guy, please ?

Journal #16: Confucius Quote

"Find a job that you love doing and you will never have to work a day in your life." This quote means that people should do job that they really want and love to do because they will not bore and happy with the job. They will feel like they never have to work a day in their life. I completely agree with this quote. When I am forced or have to work or to do something that I don’t like, I found that that job really hard and I could not do it well enough.

I thing not many people have much opportunities to work in a job their love so person who is working in a job that they love is lucky.

I love business and my major is accounting. I think it is good to apply my knowledge with the kind of job that I love; therefore my magic job is an auditor.

U.S. infant mortality ranks lower

The death rate of baby in U.S. is not changing too much since 2000. The death rate was 6.86 per 1,000 live births. It’s almost the same as in 2005 which is 6.89 deaths per 1,000 births in 2000.
In 2004, death rate of baby in U.S. was 29th in the world, which dramatically drop from 1960 that it was 12th. The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that 9 percent of the death rate came from the increment of baby who born too early and too little weight. This increment is the biggest cause of baby die. Furthermore, other treatment and prenatal steroids help these babies alive.
The gap between baby who born with black women and Cuban-Americans is fluctuate. The death rate baby who born from black women is higher than baby who born from Cuban-Americans 9.21 per 1,000 births. This means that socioeconomic status and health care did not conclude about the gap.

Journal #12: Research topic

Today our composition class learns about the topic question. My topic is “Internal Control” This topic interesting to me. After I learn about internal control in Wigipedia website, I found that it’s about concept of management which most company through out the world use. Good internal control helps company management succeed the goal. There is COSO framework which play important role with internal control. Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) is an organization which major objective is to identify the factors that cause fraudulent financial reporting and to make recommendations to reduce its incidence.I think this topic is related to my major; therefore I want to know it deeply.

Anyway this topic is not easy to me to figure the research questions. I realize that I have to work hard for this topic (T___T). However after I did a research, finally I get my research question. My research question is “ What does COSO framework important to internal control?"
