    Donn Eisele Research Paper

    What interests me is that Donn Eisele had been a pilot for virtually his entire career. Donn Eisele's job on the Apollo 7 mission was piloting the spacecraft. In my opinion, I have always found it to be interesting and scary as a pilot, because it seems pretty cool to be manning vehicles that fly in the air, but you can also crash and blow up if things go wrong. While I do not want to be a pilot due to all the pressure of having to do everything right to avoid crashing, I respect the profession. What piques my interest even more is that Donn Eisele wasn't just any pilot.…

    Black University Research Paper

    The blacker the college, sweeter the knowledge. As kids, we see shows and movies such as A Different World and School Daze then imagine attending an HBCU being fun and adventurous. Not realizing and understanding the essence of having a place in the world where you can relate with people of different shades of melanin and personalities. The mission of an Historically Black College or University is to give blacks the opportunity of higher learning and allow them to graduate with multiple job lineups. From my perspective, an HBCU should make you feel more welcome than a PWI would, make you feel wanted and appreciated.…

    Dare Re Research Paper

    Dare, A Regretful Education Have you ever wondered how the D.A.R.E. program worked in the United States? Well I can tell you this, if an officer that is involved with the D.A.R.E. program is trying to show you the impact of a substance, then why do you see them doing that same substance while off duty? They are either smoking a cigarette or guzzling booze until they are downright wasted, if this is the kind of inspiration that helps you stay away from substances, well it’d work better than what you’re learning from D.A.R.E. A multitude of people believe the D.A.R.E. program should be replaced with a different program that provides a new/better way to fight substance abuse, others believe D.A.R.E. should be able to help in the education…

    “Can you repeat that?” seemed to be the only phrase anyone asked me. Despite English being my first language, I did not advance as quickly as others in speech and in reading. Because i did not practice pronunciation as a child, there is nobody to blame for my speech impediment except myself. Therefore, when presented the opportunity to take an AP English class in my junior year, I did not hesitate to accept - the only way for me to improve my English was to undergo an arduous class and practice.…
