Introduction For this week’s discussion, I chose the Amherst H. Wilder Foundation, a nonprofit health and human services agency located in St Paul, MN, for it’s dedicated service to the community with over 40 programs of service to the community, and its 2010 announcement that it would be cutting 263…

Dickinson was educated at Amherst Academy and the Mount Holyoke Female Seminary in her school years. She was a very bright student despite her missing long stretches of school due to both illness and depression. In 1848 she left the school for good, with no known reason. Her early influences as a teenager were Leonard Humphrey, the principal of Amherst Academy, and a family friend named Benjamin Franklin Newton who later introduced her to…

Emily Dickinson was born into a rich and powerful Christian family with firm beliefs. She lived in the nineteenth century, from 1830-1886. She grew up the town of Amherst in Massachusetts. Dickinson was educated; which was not that common for a woman who lived in during the era of the industrial revolution. She did some traveling throughout Massachusetts in her earlier years of life. However, toward the late 1860s she kept herself secluded from society. Many let their imaginations run wild about…

The task of ranking presidents has traditionally been one fraught with peril; the historian must be assumed to have disengaged all personal political preferences, all deeply held personal beliefs, in order to evaluate those men who so often stood at the forefront of history and who have, to a large degree, shaped the world in which we live. Given that such historians are necessarily human, and thus prone to the very human tendencies of bias and opinion, such perfect lists are indeed almost…

Commute to UMass Amherst where I can get a decent education and save money. This is where I am now. At UMass I’ve joined the UMass Transit team where I earned my CDL at only the age of 19 and get to support the community by getting people where they need to go who would otherwise be stuck walking or not getting that job interview. Soon I will also be a volunteer firefighter for the Amherst Fire Department. My point in telling you all of this isn’t to ramble…

Although Dickinson was considered one of the founders of the American poetic voice there is little information on her and her life. The reasoning behind there being so little information on Dickinson is because she spent most of her life as a recluse. There was only a meager amount of people who knew were Dickinson was and who got to interact and communicate with her.…

my hands dirty and feel blessed for my work experience. The crazy restaurant world has taught me a strong work ethic, communication skills, and many other crucial life lessons that cannot be bought. In the summer before my junior year at UMass Amherst my dad took a large cut in his salary and informed me that he would no longer be able to pay for my college. I was disappointed and discouraged, yet I knew somehow I had to continue on with school. Education has always been my passion in life and…

the creator of life, or a huge image of most religions, the use of his name is presented in different ways due to either tragic or memorable events that has occurred in most people’s lives. “A Love for God” (Joseph Langland, pg 53. Selected Poems. Amherst: U of Massachusetts, 1991. Print) is about how a person (can’t define on who is presenting in this poem like is it based for a male or female) who is observing their view on nature and how certain areas gives you temptation and feelings on…

It all began one chilly November day when a little Susan Miriam Spaet was born. It was 12 am on Saturday, November 17th, 1973 and a five pound ten-ounce child was introduced to the world.
