In 1803, under the presidency of Thomas Jefferson, the United States purchased a large sum of land from France which was known as the Louisiana Purchase. According to America, This purchase included 875,000 square miles of land extending far beyond the boundaries of present-day Louisiana”…

The true heroes of the Lewis and Clark Expedition are hidden and erased from our history. During the expedition, Lewis and Clark needed support from others in order to be successful. There were many supplies and things they needed during this journey. The Native Americans were the real heroes during the expedition because of the way they supported and helped Lewis and Clark. One way the Native Americans acted as heroes was when they taught the Corps of Discovery some survival skills.…
On September 22, 1805, the explorers finally emerged from the mountains near present-day Weippe, Idaho, exhausted and nearly starving.

Lake Havasu "Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, others make it happen." -Michael Jordan. This quote tells you that things don’t just come to you.

Having been in high school for four years, I am ready to take the next step in my life. I am ready to contribute my positive and outgoing personality to the students around me in a large college in terms of size and diversity.

I am unexposed to different cultures and their unique lifestyles.…
There are a few distinct reasons I am choosing to apply to the Georgetown School of Medicine. When researching the program, I learned that the program advocates for increasing the number of minorities and promoting diversity within the medical field.

Whenever I visit Dr. Griffika's office he is always passionate and excited to work with his patients.…
Every semester I ask myself the same three questions and the longer I have been pursuing post secondary the more I think about the costs of post-secondary in comparison to the benefits of my degree. I work part time at Bed Bath and Beyond to help my parents pay rent and keep food on the table so every time I look at class registration I always artistically stack my classes like Greek columns to grab as many hours as I can at work. My father always says that you can’t do anything without money and it’s the truth you can’t, and it shames me because the academic route I decided to take isn’t known for the Steve Jobs of the world but rather the eco-terrorists and political upstarts. Public policy has always been my passion because of the social…
I have always believed in the power of education as a tool to make important changes in society, and I know that the highest quality of education can be found in the United States. I realized that even though human beings are complex and enjoy diversity when it gets the time to solve an issue there always exists a middle point where a solution can be made. By transferring, I will have the tools to become one of those peace ambassadors that work towards the solution of global issues. I have always been interested in the guarantee of human rights, children rights and promotion of equality. Inspired by the commitment of Malala Yousafzai, Nelson Mandela, and Martin Luther King to make a fairer world for all, I want to transfer to a four years institution because I will not only be able to learn from highly qualified instructors, develop a research thesis and immerse myself into a multicultural environment, but I will get the foundation to keep developing myself as leader and a change maker.…
