Whitewater has always meant a lot to me. It is where I grew up and have created all the lasting memories with me today. Having this passion for the town helped with my decision to apply to Whitewater University and could not be a better fit for my future career. If admitted to your university, I am convinced that I will be able to bring excellent communication skills, background with volunteer service, a strong work ethic and leadership experience through the multiple clubs I engage in both in…

brief really stood out to me for the reason that harvard is a private university and doesn’t have to abide by the Equal Protection clause but still decided in favor of The University of Texas. I also looked at amicus briefs that supported fisher American Civil Rights Union, supported Fisher for the fact that the college was racially discriminative of whites and Jews and favours of minorities and that spoil systems for race were put in place. Pacific Legal Foundation supported Fisher because…

In order to become a registered dietitian a student needs to complete the Didactic Program in Dietetic. They also need to complete either a Coordinated Program in Dietetics or a Dietetic Internship. Each of these components contributes to the degree as a registered dietitian or nutritionist, but they differ in several ways. A Didactic Program in Dietetics refers to the course work approved by the Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics. Students are required before…

In the United States today, about 200,000 children aged 20 years or younger have type 1 diabetes (Article where came from on desk). Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) works very diligently to find a cure for this disease. To gather research for this topic, interviews were held with four people who are closely involved with JDRF and type 1 diabetes (T1D). In depth research was also done on the foundation and the horrible disease that takes people’s lives daily, known as T1D. T1D has…

One of the best parts of being a librarian is seeing the impact the programs and community events have on the patrons being served. However, this is paralleled by the patron appreciation that can be seen as well. In communities where every-day needs are not being met and budgets, both inside and outside of the library are growing smaller, it is more important than ever to find creative and new ways to serve the community. Public libraries are excellent places to provide at-risk youth with…

U.S. Libraries in the 1960s The 1960s were a time of significant change for the United States, so much so this era is often referred to as “the rights revolution” (CrashCourse). The United States experienced the continuation of the Civil Rights Movement, the youngest elected president, John F. Kennedy—and the youngest president to die, the first manned moon landing, and seemingly everything in between. In a country that was so fraught with change, it only seems fitting that libraries were…

An “Unsafe” Safe Space It is no secret that we are living in a world where we have to be careful of everything we say or do. We constantly need to think whether our words and actions will be offensive to a specific culture, race, religion, or anything else. We do not want to exposed to anything that marginalizes some crucial parts of our identity and to maintain these values that are so important to us. That is why the University of Chicago was met with harsh criticisms from throngs of angry…

Which team are you on? Do you take part in the “M-I-Z!” “Z-O-U!” chant? Or do you shout with pride “Rock Chalk!” “Jayhawk!”? No matter which cheer you support, both schools are two of the best colleges in the Midwest. When choosing which college I wanted to attend, I struggled deciding between the University of Missouri and the University of Kansas. Despite their boarding state rivalry, I fell in love with both. The schools have their pros and cons, yet one is not better than the other. At the…

Championship Team In fall 2011 I played basketball for my father’s friend team. Our team name was the wizards. We played all over the city, sometimes we would play out of town but mostly in St. Louis. Our season was coming to an end, but not before playoffs. Like college basketball in march madness if you lose a game, you are eliminated. We were a great team so we advanced through the first few rounds pretty easily. But our last three games were all difficult. Our first difficult game was…
