College is an important step for a person but a lot of people think that college is not necessary. There are a lot of reasons why people want to go to college and I am sure that everybody's reason is different. I want to go to college because of one main reason and that reason is the opportunities it allows me to have. I want to go to college because after I graduate and get my degree, I will be opened to more opportunities in life. I will be more inclined to have a better life if I go to…

Firstly, my spiritual belief is one of the cultural lenses that I believe has majorly affected my view on the dispute of life after death. When I was sixteen years old, I made the biggest and dare I say, the greatest decision in my life, which was: receiving my Lord Jesus Christ.

Secondly, one of the cultural lenses that I believe has molded the attitude I have towards work ethic is my race. I am half…

When asked the question, “Why do you want to become an RPLS major?” I automatically think of this past year. A year ago, I was unsure what I wanted to do as a career. I had declared a major in Athletic Training, but I wasn’t set on making it my career. I was having a conversation with a friend one day, and she advised me to look into the RPLS major. To be honest, I didn’t know much about the major prior to talking to her. When I went to research the major, I learned about the emphasis of…

Corporate ads can be found in almost any situation. From billboards and commercials to now advertising in schools and on students’ uniforms, there had been a debate on whether or not those companies are having too large of an impact on students. Should schools allow corporate ads to help fund different things for their students? We all know that running a school takes a lot of money and to help schools become better at educating kids, they need even more money. Sometimes they don’t have enough…

However, these schools often receive opposition to these codes because of the lack of enforcement in them. Such results lead to cheating, plagiarizing, and other dishonest methods; these actions tend to aggravate other students, and the aftermath is a detrimental school setting. As a result, the honor code should be revised in order to make it…
