When I was a child, every night before bed my mother would read to me. She would lay next to me on my little bottom bunk, while the snow fell in the Maine woods outside and the dog slept at my feet and she would read. The stories she read to me were almost always historical fiction, a favorite of both of ours. We read about medieval Europe, ancient Greece, victorian England, the roaring twenties, the world wars, anything before this century really. One day she read me a book called Brighty of…
vigorous process of written and oral exams. During the months where I was on the waiting list for employment, I felt useless. Never had I been more frustrated as I lingered at home, my Ogygia during this time; while my goal of being a United States Ambassador was so far away. I could do nothing but hopelessly wait for that one call that confirmed my job in the State Department. One day, I received a call at 5 in the morning. While it was brutal to get myself out of bed to reach for my phone, and…
would not be a mistake. Growing up I always looked up to the ambassadors at each level of education because to me they always represented the cream of the crop. If someone wanted to know something the ambassadors were the ones they went to. In elementary school they represented those who did not run away when adults approached…

As a Kamloops Ambassador, I have had the opportunity to spend hundreds of hours…
the King and the French is witnessed when comparing French Ambassador Montjoy’s first visit to King Henry V to his last visit, an effect created not only through scenery, but in power dynamics, body language, and tone. Beginning with the original meeting of the French…
The Ambassador Program held a can food drive throughout the months of November and January with the proceeds going to the Tarrant Area Food Bank. The volunteers come to a consensus every winter since 2012 to how to give back to the community and 2015 was no exception. They expect to collect an estimated 700 to 1,000 pounds in can goods and non-perishable items . Ambassador Program Shift Supervisor Cristina Fraker spearheaded the effort. She said it was something she became more passionate…
of special events and interacting with people. From helping set up for food banks to promoting moral causes for health organizations, these experiences have encouraged me to make an impact in people’s lives. As far as why I want to be part of the Ambassador Program, it is the precise reason of making a difference and actively engaging with others that attracts me to the program. Coming from southern California, I find that being part of a team of people who are just as enthusiastic and committed…
emergencies. Utopians view gold as useless and not deserving of its lofty value and as a symbol of pride and domination so they learn to loathe gold and eventually eradicate it. In More’s story, foreign ambassadors mistook Utopians as poor and Utopians mistook the ambassadors as slaves so when the ambassadors realised this, they stopped wearing lavish clothing. The moral of this incident is to understand the contrast between cultures and accept them and that the value of materials do not matter…
What could I do in college to show support of my university while encouraging others to do the same? As it turns out, the answer to my question was all around me; they were all wearing maroon and gold shirts. Each CMU ambassador presented themselves with…
