Sophomore Rachel Napoliello is a chemistry major from the greatest state of all: New Jersey. Embarrassingly enough, there is a strong possibility that she chose to apply to Tufts so she could join TUTV (look at her “Why Tufts?” essay for evidence). Rachel has been interested in filmmaking ever since she discovered the magic of iMovie many years ago. Some early examples of her work include The Thrill of Thursday, a charming story about her sister who is turned into a dog, and Trial by Blood, which if you ask her about will result in a long and unprompted rant (please ask her about it).…
As a lifelong resident of the Napa Valley I have always admired Clinic OLE'S dedication to the community. For many of us in the community "La Clinica Ole" was the only medical resource available, not only for its affordability, but also from a cultural/language comfort aspect. The doctors and staff were the only ones that offered the community a safe place where they could be cared for. It has been wonderful to witness how Clinic Ole has developed over the years, from a small traveling operation to its current sites and multiple locations. I understand the demand is still high and the need for expansion is still needed, and I would like to be part of it and help the organization meet its goals.…
Colleen vignette stood out to me because of her religious background and the traumatic experience that she suffered. Colleen is a young female who has lost her life as she has planned which is something that many people can suffer from. People can plan out their life then have one huge thing through them off course. When this happens they can feel hopeless and lost which is something that many people need help getting over. When a client comes in after a traumatic experience it can be valuable to remain calm and relax while they tell their story so that a safe place can be created.…

At the age of 15, she volunteered for a firm of a local Hispanic lawyer, Alonso Perales, which motivated to pursue a legal career dedicated to breaking down racial barriers (“Who is Vilma Martínez?”).…
Hi Tecarla, I was checking through our AP electronic database for Courtney’s scores and so far no information has come up. I happen to check her file and I see we already loaded and evaluated five AP scores. Should there be more? Did you say her advisor was checking on an AP ENG LIT? If so, she received a score of a two.…
Though the tragic deaths of the Mirabal sisters is an event that brought tears to the eyes of many, there are still controversies over whether the sacrifices they made actually played an effective role in ending Trujillo’s reign. Many critics argue that the abandonment of their children to tend to the revolution was a selfish and heartless act; others bring to light that their fearless actions- and even deaths- is what spurred on the revolution and led to its success. Without the Mirabal sisters selflessly stepping up on behalf of their country, it could’ve been our whole nation that was eventually murdered as opposed to just their family. During the time that Minerva and Maria Teresa spent in jail, they gave up their comfortable lives…
The journalist I chose to interview for my final presentation and paper for Ethics in Sports Media was USA Today and ForTheWin’s sports journalist, Nina Mandell.

Within just a few hours I heard back from her and she was ecstatic to hear I am a student of the Sports Illustrated veteran, Lars Anderson.…

Discussion Question 1: Men and women certainly have different listening styles. While linguist Deborah Tannen claims that the differences in listening style are due to men and women being brought up in different cultures, communication scholar Kathryn Dindia suggests that men and women are raised in the same culture, but their listening differences result from being told how different they are. I agree with Dindia’ claim because many men and women can share a lot of cultural similarities and still listen very differently. For example, two siblings (brother and sister) can be raised in the same home with the same parents, same religious beliefs, political views, etc. and still have different listening styles.…
