Extremely interested in what he sees Matt, however, remains skeptical, eager for a little more evidence to solidify her hypothesis. “So you think the quake caused a minor separation by the meteor penetrating the earth’s weakest position, creating an unlikely opening in the earth.” Matt hesitates with his statement examining a specific area on the map. “Explain to me again, the two weeks before the tremors,” Susan thrilled with her discovery intensely explains.…

    1) I liked how she starts her story with the emotional moment of the accident, that part made me feel dizzy and disorientated like her, at the beginning it was kind of hard to interpreted the text and what was happening at the time. The parts were the police were treating her like an animal really made me mad and I felt a little bit of impotence when hearing about how they waited so long to help her and they hurt her even more. I was actually disgusted but not surprised of the way the police treated her in the hospital, it was to be expected, besides she “killed” one of their own and on top of it she was a woman of color. I admire Assata greatly in this chapter, she is so brave and has a strong will of power, if I were in her place I would have cried and begged since the first punch to the stomach. I can connect the way they treated Assata during…

    When I visited George Washington my sophomore year of high school, I instantly knew that your school is where I wanted to go for college. It just wasn't like any of the other colleges that I had seen before, and for that matter it was unlike any I have seen since. I saw that GW is in a beautiful location and that its presence in the capitol greatly enhances both its value and the city’s around it. I really liked walking around the campus, as it was extremely vibrant. I saw that safety is also important, and the combination of security that holds jurisdiction in this area is extremely reassuring.…

    Prof. Frollis, Bethel University differs from more recently established "on-line universities" because it was first a college and grew into a university and then added the on-line capability. Bethel University established itself as a well known educational center. In my personal case Bethel University adds to the credibility of the university and my degree because the P.A.S. program for ministry was first started at Bethel University and was known as the home study program at that time. In addition, the seminary itself was also on the Bethel Grounds in McKenzie, TN.…

My mom and dad were both sitting beside me on my bed while I was told the importance of this decision and how my life would never be the same.
