Vice President of the United States

On October 26, 2016, I contacted Mr. Tracy McCoy the Vice President and lead estimator for the United Framing Company in Blacksburg, Virginia (VA). To complete the interview process, we talked on the telephone for approximately one hour. Coming out of college, Mr. McCoy had an undergraduate degree in Recreation and Leisure from Radford University. He wanted to into the athletic field. It was either between a director of recreation or a director of athletics. But at the end of the day he ended up…

As a personal safe haven, the average American citizen desires the protection of their homes through the placement of security measures around their property. Some people place surveillance cameras and motion sensors around their houses and businesses to protect themselves from theft and unwelcome visitors. The surveillance cameras violate a citizen’s freedom of privacy for the safety of the citizen’s home because it watches the citizen without their permission. Similar to the telescreens in…

Keep Your Freedom Most people assume, since they live in the United States, that they are free, and have the freedom to do as they please as long as what they are doing abides by federal and/or state law. But how free are we, really? If you look deep enough, Suzanne Collins illustrates how restricted our freedom in the United States are. Throughout the novel, The Hunger Games, Collins is telling her readers that the government will destroy most means of personal freedom of the citizens. In…

made by consensus, which doesn’t require unanimity, all members of the group are equal and everyone has an opportunity for their voice to be heard on all topics of discussion (Birnbaum, 1988, p. 88-89). The direct supervisor to the staff and vice president make it clear that each employee is valued, which creates a very strong sense of community amongst the staff. The collegiality present in the admission office can also be credited to the size of the staff. Including administrative and support…

he stood up for what he believed was right, even when he was likely to face opposition, and second, that he believed in the equality of all peoples. This is the one of his many values that perhaps holds most resonance for me; I am currently the president and a founder member of a group called Equal + Empowered. The goal of Equal + Empowered is to raise awareness of and combat social inequality, with a focus on feminism and women’s empowerment. Much like Coolidge must have, we have faced…

Over the past several years I have strived not only to prove myself but to improve myself. The journey has taught me what it takes to become a successful student in and out of the classroom. With my experiences, I will be a beneficial member to National Honor Society through; my character, scholarship, leadership and service. An important characteristic trait to me is not about being recognized when doing good but doing good when others are not around. During the summer, I was a D.A.R.E. Camp…

In understanding the needs of the community and identifying problems within the community, it is important for community members to participate in the issue selection process. Not only will issue selection produce community participation, but it will also contribute to community building and community unifying efforts. According to Khinduka’s article (1970), instead of just focusing on the psychological aspect of social change, facilitators should be looking at the socioeconomic issues that…

determine where we go with the rest of our lives. To experience adventure or to be limited by the fear of it." I found myself these crossroads during the spring of my sophomore year of high school. All of my friends were getting ready to attend the State Leadership Conference for the club we were in, The Technology Student Association, better known as T.S.A., and while all of them had competed for years at this conference, it was going to be my first time. The question of whether I was going to…

Larson does an amazing job when he goes into great detail about each candidate’s personality because although at this time, men did not openly campaign, they did “go after” each other viciously. Meaning, although the candidates did not go around state to state clearly declaring their goals and ideas for their presidency, they did bash each other severely just like in politics today. For instance, John Adams was known for being confrontational and obnoxious while Thomas Jefferson was known as…
