Eager to share my passion for business, I founded DECA to give members exposure to real world working environments, state conferences, and opportunities to present their knowledge. Success was easy to obtain as post-conference enthusiasm spread first amongst members and then the rest of the school. Because of the first year’s success, the next brought many new members who were all eager to attend the DECA state conference.…

    Hard times in the Hometown was written by Martin Dusinberre, an English teacher who travels to Kaminoseki, a city located in Yamaguchi Prefecture, a small town on Japan’s Inland Sea who later returns to start dissertation fieldwork in 2003.

    There’s a little slice of Heaven in Marshall, Texas, where the sun shines through the pines and the sound of cicadas serenade you throughout your afternoon and the lake shines like a plate of polished silver in the early morning sun. When I first came to Camp Fern, I was on my own. Everyone else had known each other for at least two years, so I was the odd one out. In my cabin there was the usual sort. There was the popular one, the attention seeker, the joker, and the one you love to hate.…

    Lizzie Borden was acquitted from the murder case of her father and step mother, this left the case an unsolved mystery for almost one hundred and twenty four years. No other suspects of this murder were ever found or at least never brought to court. This means that Lizzie Borden was the only person that anyone thought may have committed this crime. These murders took place on August 4, 1892 and Lizzie Borden was found not guilty by 1893 and fulfilled the rest of her life normally. The Lizzie Borden verdict was incorrect because Lizzie Borden was the only one home at the time of the murders, and her behavior before and after this tragic loss made her the only reasonable suspect.…
