Lonestar Field trip
The campus resources that I chose are the library, cafe, gym, and the office of academic success. I chose these resources because the library contains information I might need in the future and has entertaining aspects such as a 3D printer, a virtual reality headset, and Wacom tablets used for drawing on the computer which I could use for various art projects. The cafe is a place where I can get something to eat after school, it is very handy when I am on the campus and want a bite to eat. The gym has a lot of after school activities which I enjoy because there are things like Zumba or fitness classes which I would normally have to pay for a gym membership outside of school for. The office of academic success is where

    Spending my time on campus in that way have allowed me to meet the most amazing people, with the most incredible stories. I have seen from single mothers with perfect GPAs, to high school students who balance their prom year with Calculus III classes, and international fathers trying to create a brighter future for their children. All of them, myself included, are grateful to the Lone Star community. Here, we all receive support on a personal level. When the situation got bad in Venezuela, I do not think I would have received as much support anywhere else as I did here.…

As an English professor at the University of Virginia, Edmundson experienced a front-row view seat to the changes that were happening around the university.

    When you get to be in high school you tend to fret over going to college. Some of you might not even go to college while some of you do. I think that all high school graduates should go to college because it opens up opportunities that one would never get to try if they just graduated high school and never go to college.

The result of this mass movement caused massive turmoil in the interior for over half a century. The main, and still unprecedented, result of this movement was the displacement and labour coercion of the local people of southern Africa and ultimately the formation of the inboekeling system.…
