Renjun Sun
This semester I learned about my new classmate Renjun. He is twenty two years old, and he is from China. Renjun now lives with his parents on Main Street in Flushing, but before he lived for a short time in Atlanta. He used to work in Flushing in an ice cream store as a cashier. In the beginning he liked his work because he could eat a lot of ice cream and sing during the work time, but he felt his work got boring, so he quit. His hobby is singing Chinese songs of J.J, his favorite singer, and playing computer games like “Maplestory”. Renjun has been living in The United States for five years, so he has forgotten how the food of his country tastes, so now he does not miss China. He is interested in becoming an accountant in the future because he thinks “money is important, but not necessary”. I think my classmate is a smart friendly young man who will achieve his dreams.
“My Favorite Writer”
My favorite writer is Gabriel Garcia Marquez. He was born in Colombia in 1927 and died in 2014. In his childhood, he lived with his grandparents and they inspired his best book. In the beginning, he was a newspaper columnist, and he liked to write about politics and social issues. That why he was criticized by many people, and he had to leave his country. In addition, he wrote many books, but in my opinion the best is One Hundred Years of Solitude. I read it and could visualize the story as if it passed in front of my eyes, and feel the emotions of the characters as sadness or happiness. He had the ability to narrate in his own words the lives in an amazing form. This book was inspired by his grandfather when he was in the army, and the town of the story describes the place where the author was raised. Gabriel Garcia Marquez won a “Nobel Prize of Literature” because of his book. After reading his book, my appreciation of life changed, and that is why he is my favorite author.

“Rescue 471”
Rescue 471 first respond to a call in a nursing home to help a man with a fake illness. He keeps holding his breath when the paramedics check him. Eventually, they transport him to the hospital. The second call was a man who fell on a motorcycle and had back pain. The next call was about a fireman who fell off of a ladder. The rescue team thought they had a patient with serious injuries, but he just has a hurt shoulder. Then, they received an emergency call about a man who said he has an internal bleeding. The last call was a mother who called 911 because her daughter, a little six-year-old girl has a baby tooth almost out, and the mother thinks her daughter needs a doctor to take out the tooth. All those people call 911 because they want to go the hospital.
In this chapter, the author shows how many calls the rescue department received that really are not emergencies. I think people need some attention. They feel bored, maybe they feel alone, or sometimes people try to act hurt to demand and make money. I like this chapter because the author writes about the reality. People call the emergency department without a reason, and do not understand the economic costs that represents.

Problem Solution Essay: “Burnout and Recovery”
Nowadays burnout is a huge problem in our society, but what exactly is burnout. Which areas of our lives can be affected? And how can we overcome it? Burnout is when a person feels constant stress, disillusionment and unhappiness; this may affect different areas of your life as in the work, home, or school. This can damage your social life, your work environment and also this state can injure your health. But now after much research, we know it is possible to prevent, avoid and recover from burnout.
According to Helpguide.org in the article, “Preventing Burnout” by Melinda Smith, M.A., Jeanne Sega, Ph.D. and Robert Segal, M.A., “Burnout is a state of emotional, mental, and physical exhaustion caused by excessive and prolonged stress.” Burnout reduces your productivity and saps your energy. Burnout may be caused by overwork and heavy responsibilities at work, home or school without vacation. But burnout is caused not just by overwork or too many responsibilities; it can also be the result of the role you play within your social environment. The symptoms of it can be emotional such as negativity, loss of motivation, helplessness, and feeling alone in the world, or they can be physical such as head, back and muscle pain, and this may seem flu illness. As a result of this, people suffering this condition can seek refuge in alcohol and drugs, and take out his/her frustration on others. Even though burnout is a big problem, also there are certain steps to prevent it. For instance, take a moment of your day to meditate leaving the technology aside. In addition, an exercise routine, good eating habits and sleeping well will help you maintain good health, a good attitude and positivity in life.
In the book Rescue 471 by Peter Canning, Peter is a paramedic who works in an ambulance helping sick people. The author talks about the burnout in himself and his coworkers. They feel frustration and loss of motivation because the work system is wrong, and they are exhausted because of patients who abuse the system. For example, some patients pretend to be sick for some reason. Many days Peter wakes up without energy to stand up and face the new day. He feels his work does not really help people who actually need it especially when he has to assist indeterminate fake emergencies calls. Although he feels loss in a way, he found his inspiration in Rebecca. She is a new paramedic that needs training. But at the same time that Peter teaches her how to be a good paramedic, he recovered his motivation and principles such as compassion for the people that he has to help.
According to the article “Preventing Worker Burnout Can Boost the Bottom Line,” burnout is a problem in all companies. That caused the employees to be absent in their work. They feel fatigue and stress all the time. The employees do not produce in their jobs, and they lose their motivation. This is a common problem in all companies. But companies such as Aptify, a Virginia software company looking to solve the issue, gave its employees the opportunity to have paid days off. In another example, Wist Office Products in Phoenix has a rotation system and switches jobs between its employees. Finally, Point B Consulting gives its employees the option that they decide how many hours per week they wish to work. Actually, companies want to know the origin of burnout, but most important they are looking for solutions.
In my personal experience, some years ago I was working in a jewelry company in Manhattan. Usually my working hours were from 8:00 in the morning to 8:00 pm. But my salary was just $150 per week. I was a new immigrant in this country, so a tried to do my best. As time passed, I was transferred to work in the office as an account assistant. My responsibilities grew even though my salary did not. I felt so disappointed and angry with myself and my boss. My stress was huge because the long hours, the excessive work and responsibilities. Because of the stress, I suffered a sharp back pain. After work my routine was cried. I did not have time to eat or rest. And my boss every day repeated a phrase “thank to me, you have a work.” But I realized me or my work never would appreciate, so I quit. I think it was the only solution for my burnout.
In conclusion, burnout is a problem that anybody can suffer and this can affect the physical or mental health of a person. We can found in all areas like work, home or school. But the most important is not the problem; it is recognizing and finding a better solution, because if people feel comfortable and happy in their life, this will reflect in their daily life.

The symptoms of it can be emotional such as negativity, loss of motivation, helplessness, and feeling alone in the world, or they can be physical such as head, back and muscle pain, and this may seem flu illness. As a result of this, people suffering this condition can seek refuge in alcohol and drugs, and take out his/her frustration on others. Even though burnout is a big problem, also there are certain steps to prevent it. For instance, take a moment of your day to meditate leaving the technology aside. In addition, an exercise routine, good eating habits and sleeping well will help you maintain good health, a good attitude and positivity in life.
In the book Rescue 471 by Peter Canning, Peter is a paramedic who works in an ambulance helping sick people. The author talks about the burnout in himself and his coworkers. They feel frustration and loss of motivation because the work system is wrong, and they are exhausted because of patients who abuse the system. For example, some patients pretend to be sick for some reason. Many days Peter wakes up without energy to stand up and face the new day. He feels his work does not really help people who actually need it especially when he has to assist indeterminate fake emergencies calls. Although he feels loss in a way, he found his inspiration in Rebecca. She is a new paramedic that needs training. But at the same time that Peter teaches her how to be a good paramedic, he recovered his motivation and principles such as compassion for the people that he has to help.
According to the article “Preventing Worker Burnout Can Boost the Bottom Line,” burnout is a problem in all companies. That caused the employees to be absent in their work. They feel fatigue and stress all the time. The employees do not produce in their jobs, and they lose their motivation. This is a common problem in all companies. But companies such as Aptify, a Virginia software company looking to solve the issue, gave its employees the opportunity to have paid days off. In another example, Wist Office Products in Phoenix has a rotation system and switches jobs between its employees. Finally, Point B Consulting gives its employees the option that they decide how many hours per week they wish to work. Actually, companies want to know the origin of burnout, but most important they are looking for solutions.
In my personal experience, some years ago I was working in a jewelry company in Manhattan. Usually my working hours were from 8:00 in the morning to 8:00 pm. But my salary was just $150 per week. I was a new immigrant in this country, so a tried to do my best. As time passed, I was transferred to work in the office as an account assistant. My responsibilities grew even though my salary did not. I felt so disappointed and angry with myself and my boss. My stress was huge because the long hours, the excessive work and responsibilities. Because of the stress, I suffered a sharp back pain. After work my routine was cried. I did not have time to eat or rest. And my boss every day repeated a phrase “thank to me, you have a work.” But I realized me or my work never would appreciate, so I quit. I think it was the only solution for my burnout.
In conclusion, burnout is a problem that anybody can suffer and this can affect the physical or mental health of a person. We can found in all areas like work, home or school. But the most important is not the problem; it is recognizing and finding a better solution, because if people feel comfortable and happy in their life, this will reflect in their daily life.
How Your Birth Order Influences Your Life
Adjustment
According to the article “How Your Birth Order Influences your life Adjustment” by Lucille Forer depend. The position where a child is born into a family, will determine the role and responsibilities in his family and with himself. An only child tends to be more independent, an oldest child assumes some responsibilities for his youngest siblings, while a middle child is able to be more independent, but always turns to his parents or older siblings for help, and a youngest child always look for help from this parents or siblings because they feel less competes to take care of himself.
First, an only child develops more independent, attitude and personality. This kind of child thinks for him, and is able to take care of him because he thinks if his parents are not around, nobody will help him. Second, an oldest child plays a role of more responsibilities in the family, and his parents and adults in general see him in the same way, usually an oldest child assumes some obligations and responsibilities for his youngest siblings. In addition, the middle child thinks he is more able to do things compared with his youngest siblings, but they looking for help in their parents or oldest siblings because he thinks he is able to wait for their help. Finally, usually the youngest child is not mature, he develop a dependence of others because he is protected by his parents and oldest siblings, he does not able to care of himself, but he does not worry about that because always has others around him take care of him.
I agree with this article because I have seen many friends’ families, and in almost all cases, the child roles about the birth order into their family are repeated. The oldest children take some responsibilities for their younger siblings such as helping with the homework or if the parents are not in the house then the oldest child serve food to their younger siblings. The independence that they develop influences their lives and usually they are successful in life. While a middle child does not care too much attention at these, he waits for his parents or siblings to resolve the daily issues. But on other hand, if the oldest child not lives anymore into the family house, the second child assumes the responsibilities from his oldest brother for his younger siblings. Otherwise a younger child remains a baby although he is an adult person, because his parents and include his oldest brothers treat him like a baby. Sometimes this is prejudicial for him because he has not the possibility of mature or be independent even though he has the potential and the age for survivor in the world, his lack of skills for that. I have seen this in my house every day with my children, my oldest daughter is very responsible her
In brief, the position into a family and the types of responsibilities that a son has can be determined by the number of child they are. In addition, this can be influence in their personality and independency.
