College Papers Help Online From Academic Writers These words may not be perfect and can probably need to be closely edited, but it will get the concepts down and retains them from getting stuck on one area of their e-book. It’s a way to inspire them to get the e-book accomplished. It works nicely for me, however I know others who don’t do nicely with it. I need to discover a wide font so I don’t have to put in writing as many phrases to fill up the pages on my task. If you can ship me in the path of one of the best wide font to do that, that might be great. I don’t assume I ought to have to write down more words simply because mine occur to be shorter than my classmates. We each wrote the same variety of words, his are simply longer so it takes up extra pages. That means individuals who write lengthy words have a bonus despite the fact that lengthy phrases aren’t always good to use. Many authors use word rely as a motivational tool. To help them from getting caught and editing each sentence time and again as they write, they choose a minimum number of words they wish to write each day. I think it depends a lot on your persona, however forcing myself to be constant day in and time out helps me get my books carried out. Without a day by day word rely, I would by no means complete them. What am I imagined to do if I write 1000 phrases, but it doesn’t make the variety of pages I need? This will take away all of the variations and assist ensure your writing project meets expectations. If it’s for something casual and you simply want a common guideline, you can find it below. Different fonts and totally different font sizes will have an effect on the variety of pages you write. This is one cause why a trainer might give an project length in words as a substitute of pages - page size could be faked by changing the margins and fonts. Again, use the essay to narrate an enticing story. Just as a result of an estimate won’t be exactly right doesn’t mean it isn’t helpful. For those who are looking for a primary rough concept, this is useful. Make positive it highlights one thing you care about deeply, and be sure to provide a window into your pursuits or personality that is not already apparent from the remainder of your application. For years the Common Application had no size restrict, and candidates and counselors regularly debated whether a good 450-word essay was a wiser strategy than a detailed 900-word piece. In 2011, that decision was taken away because the Common Application moved to a comparatively quick 500-word limit. With the August 2013 release of CA4 , the guidelines modified as soon as again. I solely want to put in writing 250 words and also you don’t have how many pages that's in your list. If you're given a writing project with a page number, one of the best factor to do is go on to the person who made the project and ask for a word rely. CA4 set the restrict at 650 phrases with a minimal of 250 words. And unlike earlier variations of the Common Application, the size limit is now enforced by the appliance kind. No longer can applicants connect an essay that goes over the limit. Instead, applicants will need to enter the essay into a text box that counts phrases and prevents entering anything beyond 650 phrases. Your essay must be between 250 and 650 words long. Depending on the genre of guide you're writing, word rely can be critical in whether or not or not your writing can actually be revealed. Publishers like certain genres to be within certain word counts, so any author who hopes to be printed has to create their works within these counts.

170620 Hori Miona Real Sound Interview Part 1
Tumblr media
Precautions: 1. Translation is NOT 100% accurate. Refer to my blog’s description before reading. 2. Sentences which context I’m not sure about is marked with (?). 3. Original article here.
Tumblr media
ー“Asahinagu” stage play, only Nagoya performance is remaining. (Interview takes place after Osaka performance) Yes, finally. 27 performances in almost a month and no day off between each performance in different places, so it was really hard.
ーYou’re given the role of Ichido Nene who is high-spirited. It was difficult to play because I have the opposite personality (laughs).
ーYou didn’t have much experience, right. Except for “16nin no Principal” and “Joshiraku” which was around 2015. Originally, were you interested in stage play and acting? I can’t speak loudly and bad at expressing emotions with my whole body, so I’m also not good in the stage play itself. I thought it’s gonna be hard, but there was an opportunity for me to watch a play called “Fushin” by Mitani Kouki. Detailed expression was perfectly performed on stage; even without too much exaggeration, I noticed that the feelings were conveyed to the audience. I then got to feel like trying hard.
ーIn addition to acting, you also have to learn Naginata this time. I observed the practice session, it seemed tough. I got buffer thanks to it (laughs). That’s why I can’t wear sleeveless clothes lately. I would look like some macho man in an American movie (laughs). It’s my biggest problem these days.
ーDancing uses different muscle, right. It’s completely different. Moreover, the armor itself weighs 10 kg; it feels like I was swaying the 2 meters sword while holding a baby. I was wobbly at first, but can overcome it in high spirits now.
ーHave you changed your consciousness for acting through this play? A lot. The director, Itagaki (Kyouichi), taught me many things about the play that I could make us of in the future. I learned a lot. I also try changing it by myself little by little every time because there are many performances (?). Compared to movie, stage play is a live thing and there are more room for improvisation; we do it on our own, if it isn’t good, we can reevaluate and make the best of it next time. This time there are also parts where it little bit feels like I’m just doing a club activity, to face the play everyday that way makes me happy.
ーActually I got an opportunity to interview Itagaki as soon as the practice session began. I asked his impressions on each Nogizaka46 member [who were involved] and regarding you, he said, “Hates to lose and has a strong eye-stare. She’s quiet, but her fighting spirit is burning.” Ehh, I’m glad (laughs).
ーDo you think that you hate to lose? I guess so. Perhaps it’s perfectionism. I don’t show it much, but I always feel like “this isn’t good enough” for many things.
Tumblr media
ーYou have also been recruited as a regular model of female fashion magazine “ar”. Your individual activities are steadily increasing. Compared to one year ago, haven’t environment quite changed? A year ago… What was I doing a year ago?
ーBefore the 15th single “Hadashi de Summer” release (July 2016), your senbatsu comeback [on Harujion] were announced. I see. Well, I finally returned. However, I was still at the end of the third row that time, so I had to work harder from there. I realised that our worries change depending on the position. There’ll be troubles wherever you are, and also rewards. But, as expected, I think that I’m not satisfied.
ーWhat is the thing that you’re lacking the most now? I want to become more experienced, or precisely a stronger person. While talking more with people from across the world–for example, co-star and others from stage play or TV drama–taking into account their opinions a bit to the way of thinking and living that I had, maybe it’s not like I start becoming an adult, but… I guess that’s sort of important.
ーI see. So, with the increase of individual jobs, what changed the most? I must be even more responsible to meet the expectations of having so many things demanded from me. Whether it’s radio broadcasting or magazine photoshoot, I shouldn’t be too familiar with each work. Of course it’s important to get accustomed to, but if you don’t use a different and fresh approach every time, the other party might not want to work with you again. I always try providing topics and freshness from here as well, and I think that I must tell you that I’m motivated and want to do more things, so even though I’m neither passive or too agressive, I try little by little to get in to many places (?).
Tumblr media
ーIt’s been 4 years since you joined Nogizaka46 in May. Yeah. It’s been long since it was unveiled at the Principal on May 5th, 4 years ago. Which means I’m aging, too (laughs).
ーI kept on thinking, amongst the 2nd generation, you had the most tremendous upheaval in the last 4 years. In autumn 4 years ago, you were airdropped as “Barrette” center (7th single released in November 2013); from there you had experienced being in various positions in senbatsu, then under, and even coming back to senbatsu again. It’s a special thing, isn’t it.
ーI think Nogizaka46 is also changing in the past 4 years because of you. Especially for the past year, the change is rapid. Graduation also constantly happened. I get “I saw Nogi on TV” or “You guys topped the music chart” a lot from people, so for just a little I realised that we’re riding that momentum, but for me, both as a member of the group and as an individual, I feel that I’m still lacking of so many things.
ーI see. Despite what others said, do you personally think that Nogizaka is selling out well now? For example when I recently saw Shiraishi’s (Mai) photobook scored a great record on news, it seems like she’s indeed a wonderful person (laughs). I didn’t feel that way first because we’re always together in the same group but when I see her objectively, she is amazing; I often talk with Kitano (Hinako).
ーBy the way, the other day I asked Shiraishi and Sakurai (Reika) a similar question and they answered, “I don’t feel that we’re selling out at all.” Everyone in Nogi still has a lot of such reactions. Perhaps one’s surroundings may have a big influence on such things. Say, as an actress in a play, I must do my best so I don’t lose to other actress–I have to hold on to such pride, or rather, I have to avoid from defeated by saying that says it all happened just because I’m a member of Nogizaka46 or just because I’m an idol.
ーBut, don’t you slightly feel wanted by the world? The number of people coming to handshake meetings and opportunities to appear in various CMs are increasing. That’s right. I haven’t heard much “I like Nogizaka” from my friend before but when I hear “Today, my best friend’s child who’s a Hori-chan oshi is coming” or “My ex-classmate will come with a Hori-chan oshi to watch” from “Asahinagu” co-star, I’m surprised that there are people who know me! In addition to it, they are also willing to like me because, say, they often watch me on TV; I feel like this is really happening (?).

What Do You Do When...?
They say; April showers bring May flowers. It is still showering/raining in May. I pray these are showers of blessings because, with the condition of the world at this time, we need to hold on to the slightest glimpse of hope.
May is Mental Health Awareness Month; I used to think it was October. World Mental Health Day is on October 10th. Raising awareness about mental health involves fighting stigma, providing support, educating the public, and advocating for policies that support individuals with mental health challenges and their families.
A sequel from my previous blog post… Have you been or are you on a journey to something non-traditional in your culture, society, community, home? It doesn’t have to be work-related. 
Reflecting on some challenges I have experienced, not directly mental health-related but affected my mental wellness. Background story; a journey to a non-traditional profession in the African community. The first month of grad school was so challenging that it was the first time I thought of giving-up/dropping out. Prior to my grad school experience, I used to make the statement that the only reason I would ever try the Insanity Workout by Shaun T was if something in life drove me insane. Well, guess what, life in grad school was getting me there barely weeks into it. 
It was September 2012, I had just left the financial aid office the third time that week where I was told that my financial aid/school loan application which I completed in July 2012 was not processed. So my tuition and housing weren’t paid for, I couldn’t buy textbooks which cost an arm and a leg and I was pursuing a degree that wasn’t/isn’t “typical” in the African community so who do I call to ask for financial assistance while waiting for financial aid to kick in before I am kicked out of the program? I did have a letter that stated the application was processed but the financial aid office was yet to receive it; something wasn’t adding up. So what do you do when…?
I had about $2000 in checking, about $1000 in savings, a $700 unused credit card, and a reasonably functioning 2004 used car which I drove about 7hours with from Maryland to Massachusetts and the car insurance of $600 due by December for the next six months. I was in a new territory away from family and friends, with no known relatives in the area. I had done some job searching from retail/cashier, to a home aide, to a residential assistant for individuals with a disability but looking at my class schedule, most of the jobs I found were not flexible enough to accommodate that and the locations were all over the place.
It was probably the second week into September 2012 when I left the financial aid office the third time, I found myself at the center of the campus when my binder suddenly dropped from my hand and the binder rings popped open. I didn’t have the energy to pick them up so I just sat on the pavement and watched the wind blow the papers away. I’m not sure how long I sat there but as the papers were flying, I noticed a yellow paper that caught my attention. I somehow dragged myself up, went to the paper, and realized it had the list of resources available on campus one of which was counseling services and fitness classes. One of the exercise classes for that day was… you guess right! The Insanity Workout by Shaun T.
Prior to this moment, I had never considered seeking counseling. I took a course in counseling psychology in undergrad so I had a vague idea of what it was like but I battled with the notion that going to therapy meant I had a mental health condition. Even with that thought process, I felt the need to talk to a “stranger” who would listen from a different perspective. So I found the strength to pick-up my binder and walked to the counseling center. I signed up to receive counseling once a week which continued for the duration of the grad school program while school was in session. After my first intake session, I decided to go try out the Insanity Workout. I always kept workout clothes in the trunk of my car; so I grabbed them and went to the class. I must say it was a good way to take out my frustrations, I kept going two to three times per week for the duration of the semester.
I must say seeking counseling was the best decision I ever made. It didn’t eliminate life challenges, it helped me realize how my thought process amplified situations or how I was self-limiting or how I was unconsciously holding on to the past or holding onto something in the present that wasn’t there or expecting others to act/respond a certain way, or feeling entitled or blaming others for things I had no control over or trying to control things that I couldn’t. 
So the theory part of the grad school was drawing to an end in December 2014, the thought that the counseling sessions were ending gave me anxiety. My counselor gave me a gift with a heartwarming message.
Back in Maryland, from January 2015 to June 2015 I did fieldwork (aka clinical/non-paid internship) Mondays to Fridays in addition to working 8hours overnight on Fridays and 16hours on Saturdays and Sundays. I barely had a social life. Funny how the mini extrovert side of me was trying to override the major introvert side of me during those years in grad school. I was granted a break from fieldwork to go attend the commencement ceremony back in Massachusetts which took place in May. Initially, I didn’t think I was going to attend it because of the workload but my supervisor made it happen. The graduation party took place in June. By August, my classmates were posting on Facebook about passing their board exam and I had not even registered, so what do you do when…?
So I deactivated my Facebook account (I haven’t reactivated it since then) that same month and registered to take the exam by the end of October. In September my youngest brother became seriously ill and in early October I experienced the most heartbreaking betrayal EVER relationship related. It was my first experience of how emotional pain can be mind-numbing. You know how you can take medications for a headache or any physical pain or put heat/ice on a hurting joint and it somewhat feels better? Besides going for long walks and driving in silence to sometimes unknown destinations and using the GPS to return, nothing else helped. 
During this time, I did contemplate seeking counseling services but I didn’t follow through because I felt like I did not want to depend on counseling. Besides I was out of school so I would have to pay for it. I had Medicaid insurance at the time so I assumed the copay was no joke. With that and my brother’s health on my mind, I couldn’t study so I postponed the board exam to November before thanksgiving week because it was the holiday season; thanksgiving, Christmas then New Year. It would have been too much distraction to study including working. I was charged for postponing the exam, money that I didn’t budget for; so add financial burden to emotional pain. The good thing is I wasn’t paying any rent at the time. My only bills were car insurance, phone bill, and taking care of my basic necessities.
Three days before the November exam date, I fell sick and was diagnosed with an upper respiratory tract infection; I started treatment right away. I didn’t want to postpone the exam again. It was more expensive to postpone this time because it was close to the scheduled date. I had not told anyone about taking the exam. Uber wasn’t a thing back then, getting a taxi/cab wasn’t within the budget given the distance and I’m not into inconveniencing people to render me a favor especially since it was last minute and I didn’t want to explain to anyone why I was going to that location. So what do you do when…?
So I drove myself there. I just wanted to get the exam over with. I said to myself, if I don’t pass, then I’ll retake it hopefully with less emotional stress/pain the second time around. I just didn’t want the year to end without at least trying. I don’t recall answering all the questions before the timer went off and the testing screen closed out. I went to my car, took a nap then drove home. It felt like a weight had been lifted off my shoulder.
The results were out a week later. I was at work, I had worked 8hours overnight. I logged into my account and the first thing I saw was PASSED. I took a picture then refreshed the screen to see if it will change but it didn’t. I logged out and logged back in and it still said PASSED. I went to my car. I took a nap, drove home. I logged in on my laptop and the results didn’t change. I logged into the home desktop and got the same results. Do I need to say I was in disbelief that I passed? I checked my results for the next three days and then I shared with family and friends. I would say I didn’t feel comfortable sharing nor asking for anything relating to my journey in the undergrad or grad school because I was pursuing a degree that wasn’t understood and still isn’t understood by a good number of people around me. So I had to do a lot of figuring out on my own.
I later received my certificate via mail with the numerical results. I had 450/600, the minimum required score for passing. My heart stopped for a few seconds. Recounting this got me teary-eyed. My journey from 2009 in undergrad, to my unpleasant experience in grad school (details for another day) to the very trying year of 2015, was about to be over… I can’t put the feelings into words. I had some emotional healing to do, so I decided I won’t start the job searching until after the New Year but it dragged through till the end of January. During this time I reflected on what I had learned during counseling in grad school and did a lot of reading on emotions and the mind for self-healing. 
The first week in February 2016, I posted my resume around 9 AM, by 11 AM I had two interviews scheduled for that week. By mid-February, I had two job offers but they didn’t sit well with me. By the end of February, I reconnected with a friend whom we went to community college together. He was the first African (Nigerian) I knew to study in the field, had recently graduated and was working. He had shared some suggestions/resources on how to study for the board exam. It turns out he was in contact with the regional manager of a location where I did the first portion of my fieldwork/clinical/rotation. That regional manager was looking to fill an open position. Per the regional manager’s words during our communication via text; “based on your work ethic during your time with us, you are hired.” I was in disbelief, he asked for my email and by the next day, I received an offer letter. The rest they say is history…
So what do you do when life throws you curveballs or there’s a sudden stop sign, red light, yield sign, crossroad, speed bump, extremely curvy ramp, exit? I think it all depends on the options available; stop and take a moment to reflect on your why. Why am I thinking/feeling this way, why do I want this to be this or that way? Counseling services can be expensive and sometimes the waiting time to see a counselor could be weeks. Last year I took a class to become a Mental Health First Aider; it’s like CPR for Mental Health. I learned a lot about a number of resources, some of which provide options for those with low income. Link
As I type this, I am reminded of a Stuck in The Middle interview which discusses mental health in the African/African-American community; a topic that is shunned in our community and needs to be addressed more. Link
I am generally on the quiet side depending on the topic of discussion so I have come to realize that my silence may give off the impression that my life has been smooth and dandy. I would say it has taken me a while to write in the first person (I) and share this much depth about me. In my earlier writings, I typically wrote in the third person because it is easier and it deflects attention. Sitting here, recounting/writing this which has taken me years to share this experience in this much depth, I have come to appreciate who I am and who I am becoming more now than before. And with that said, may I share that I am working on bringing to life the book I’ve been writing in my head since 2017. Inspired by Achu Ebong Mba (aka Riflex) the newest published Author in town; No Such Thing As Halfway. Grab a copy if you haven’t yet and joint to the conversation.
