Decent Essays
Due to the breakdown of my car around 3:30pm on October 6th as I was approaching the University on Olster road, I rushed to park at the nearest garage which was just at the entry of the University Union garage. With fear and confusion flooding my mind also being my first semester at Towson University, I roamed around University Union building in search of the parking services office. With no avail after about 10-15mins I decided to go back to the parking lot.

    Captivity Narratives have been of particular interest to the American people for hundreds of years. These narratives are often considered to be the “first literature” of the American people and were originally "Anglo [based] accounts of captivity among the Indians", but quickly expanded to cover all individuals forced into captivity (Vanderbeets 548; Luders-Manuel 1). Two of the most famous captivity narratives that were ever written are those of Mary Rowlandson and Olaudah Equiano. These two narratives are told from very different perspectives but, they contain many of the same aspects and are more alike than they are different. These common aspects include: their home life prior to captivity; their assimilation into their captive culture; and their usage of Biblical information.…

    Religion has played integral role in shaping American society since its founding, almost two-hundred and fifty years ago. From the Declaration of Independence, which acknowledged “the Laws of Nature and Nature’s God,” to George Washington’s Thanksgiving Proclamation, which established “a day of public thanksgiving and prayer” in recognition of “the duty of all nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God… and humbly to implore His protection and favor,” many of America’s founding fathers freely recognized the authority and importance of religion. Yet, the First Amendment of the Constitution forbids Congress, and, by the Fourteenth Amendment, states, from making any “law respecting an establishment of religion.” The tension between this vague Constitutional limitation and the inseparability of religion from American society has generated countless court cases. Since Everson v. Board of Education (1947)—in which Justice Black famously asserted that the First Amendment has built a “wall of separation between church and state……

    College is something all junior-senior high school students look forward to. The last two years of high school are critical to students planning on applying and going to college.

The cost of student loans is outrageous as well because at the end, a student could end up with a hundred thousand dollars in debt only for interest.…

Since their founding they have had missions to provide access and opportunity for Black people when they were excluded or denied admittance elsewhere.

HBCUs represent just three percent of institutions of higher education, enroll less than ten percent of African Americans in higher education, but graduate more than 17 percent of African American bachelor degrees and more than 24 percent of African American bachelor degrees in STEM fields (NCES, 2016).…
