    Brownsville Museum Reaction Paper

    On Saturday, November 18, 2016, I visited the Rio Grande Valley Commemorative Air Force Museum (or just CAFM) in Brownsville, Texas. It is located on Minnesota Road by the SPI/Brownsville International Airport. Although this museum resides a few streets away from my home, I never visited before. Therefore, I gave the place a shot in impressing my brother and I. Admission costs $6 for adults, $5 for seniors 55+, $3 for kids 12-18, and FREE for kids 11 and under.…

    NR Law Class Analysis

    NR Law Class Opinion I would have to say that I was quite skeptical when first signing up for this class last fall. I was under the assumption that we would be covering game and fish law throughout the course, but that was not case. Instead we got the valuable opportunity to meet many of the conservation officers who work locally. I know credit limits are getting pushed further and further at these two year technical colleges, but I feel there should be a class solely for the learning of the various game and fish laws. The academy does address such laws, but I do feel we would be better prepared going in, if there was such a class.…

    Blue Angels Research Paper

    Growing up my family would go to the local airshows, primarily the one in Naval Air Station Oceana. The blue angels were the stars of the show and they always pull off a stellar performance. From that point on I always looked to the skies for planes. They're are beautiful pieces of art and flying them would be my dream. With my Senior Naval Science Instructor being a retired Naval Flight Officer, I asked him a lot of questions and he has told me many stories about his time in the F-18.…

    Japanese American National Museum Research Paper

    I was quite shocked that I actually enjoyed my visit to the Japanese American National Museum in little Toyko. In other words, I was honestly not interested in learning the particular history of Japanese Americans because I believed there was not much to learn but I was certainly wrong which is why I certainly do not regret the fact that I decided to visit this museum especially with a few of my classmates. It was quite nice, it not only had nice paintings that were perfect backgrounds for Instagram pictures, but it literally also had glass pink flowers hanging from the ceiling. If that wasn’t enough, a wall of real suit cases that once belonged to people was literally build.…

    The Pioneers Museum Analysis

    The Ambrose and Paine text defines a Museum as “a non-profit, permanent institution in the service of society and its development, open to the public, which acquires, conserve, researches, communicates, and exhibit the tangible and intangible heritage of humanity and its environment for the purposes of education, study and enjoyment.” After a recent visit to The Pioneers Museum in Colorado Springs, I have concluded that this museum is a model example of the various ways in which today’s museum have change since their foundation, while still managing to meet the various definitions of what a museum is, despite the changes in function, management, and the type of audience it attracts. The museum itself is in an older historical building, which was once the court house for the city in its early history. The building’s magnificent architectural details and beautiful courtyard attracts tourist to the museum.…

    Inspector Javert Essay

    An evil villain set on destruction. This is used to describe many antagonists; however, there is just one problem, no one can be a single-minded villain. They are just people and many may not be all that bad. From the opening pages of the book and the musical, Les Miserables by Victor Hugo, the readers are introduced to Inspector Javert. He is portrayed as the antagonist for setting forth the law on a seeming less never ending pursuit of Jean Valjean.…

    JET Personal Statement

    My main reason for wanting to join the JET program is my deep interest in education as well as Japanese culture. This program is an excellent combination of both of these passions that I have. I went to school for a degree in English teaching and because of this I have had many experiences with teaching, lesson planning, and working with students. By being presented the opportunity to work in the classroom with Japanese students I will be able to develop my own skills in the classroom particularly when working with non-native English speakers. I have already had several different experiences in very different classroom settings, and I hope I am able to enrich my knowledge of teaching English as a secondary language.…
