parents said in a poll published this week that they expect to support their child for more than two years after graduation, up from 18 percent the year before. More than 16 percent think that arrangement will last more than five years, according to the poll, conducted by massive education lender Sallie Mae (Akane Otani, 2015). This is where it might get difficult for some people. As human we tend to let our pride get in the way of our lives. Some people, including me hate the idea of asking for money, even if it’s from a loved one. There is this stigma that if you’re an adult, asking for money is looked down upon and you’re seen as weak or unfit to be an adult. In fact in the article Jeffery, a research professor of psychology at Clark University says that "There 's this negative stereotype we have about young adults, that getting financial help from their parents indicates a character deficiency on their part" (Akane Otani, 2015). I do agree with this part. Like I said earlier, some people just have too much pride to take money from someone else. I think it’s just human…

Or how only eighteen percent of minorities dropout or in otherwise one-hundred and eighty minorities dropout of college a school…

Gerrymandering is the process of altering electoral districts to favor a political party over the other by receiving more votes in that district based on the population demographics and party affiliation. The practice of gerrymandering was created when Governor Elbridge Gerry of Massachusetts had enacted a bill that would allow the state to the redistricted in a way that would favor the party he represented, the Democratic-Republican Party, over the Federalists. When the redistricting plan was…

College. When I graduated in the spring of 2005 with my Bachelor of Arts in History and my initial teaching certification in hand, I was excited to teach and challenge the young minds of our great state. As I sent application after application to every school district in the tri-city area, I quickly realized that teachers in Western New York State are a dime-a-dozen. Determined to get my foot in the door somewhere, I substituted during the day and continued working shifts at the country club at…

when viewing the advertisement because the phrase “the ride” refers to a train, having Nas traveling on the train, he is surrounded by professional adults, making a connection that people tend to dress formal travel by train to get to business events and also it wouldn’t make sense to have Nas deliver his tone in an informal tone. According to the website Distilled from the text “Finding Your Brand’s Voice – How to Shape a Tone of Voice”, “Formal language can convey a sense of professionalism as…

this woman’s room after trying numerous times before and each of those times she was either asleep or out having tests done. This time she greeted me with a hesitancy. She made a comment that she already had spoken with another clergy person and that she did not need to have me visit. I ended up asking her about how she felt and that ended up leading to her opening-up with me about her family and what she enjoys in life with her husband. The God or sacred moment was when I found out that she…

Working for the Binghamton Tennis Charities, I gained experiences working within the sports industry. The first part of my internship consisted of going out in the Binghamton area and trying to sell sponsorship packages to local businesses. This was much more difficult than I originally thought it was going to be. Since I am not from the Binghamton area, it made it even more challenging because I did not know the area and anyone who owned a business. I received a lot of no’s from people.…

creative when I was 10th grade. I start my research, combined all of my formulas, and think about a new source of energy that can combine to my “innovative machine” and the combination can produce a magnetic field. What is the most special part about this innovative magnetic machine is it can lift an object from any type of surface using the magnetic field. When my imagination sparks innovations, I can definitely imagine the building floating in the air and world’s transportation changed when…
