When most people hear the word “autism” they don’t usually think of a top of the line biologist, scientist, writer, and educator. Temple Grandin is the most righteous living possessor of the “right stuff” because of all of her breakthroughs despite the barriers she has had to overcome throughout her life. Grandin was diagnosed with autism at the age of 2. However, despite her difficulties during adolescence, she went on to reach incredible academic merits. She earned a degree in psychology,…

playing indoor soccer. I was overcome with more disappointment than imaginable. I felt like the one thing I had worked so hard to accomplish was once again taken away. Similar with The Pact when Sam also had the same struggles. He failed his first state board exam, and was left behind, because Rameck passed. It was something that delayed his medical career temporarily, but if he wouldn‘t have stuck with it, could have delayed it permanently. Sam had to put his other priorities aside, and…

Kent State Shootings From 1955-1975 America fought a war that separated generations, and turned America 's youth against their own government, the Vietnam war. Due to this twenty year war many young males were drafted into the army, and America the land of the free became the land of deceit. As a result, throughout the nation there had been mass protests, and antiwar movements. On the tragic day of May 4th, 1970 demonstrators at Kent State University were ambushed by the Ohio National Guard,…

Same Traits Different Outcomes in Leadership Leadership is a long researched, studied theme in Organisational Psychology. However, looking at the recent incidents that took various organisations to a huge failure, it is seen that leadership does not only have a bright side. These failures mostly show that destructive leadership is an important reason for them to happen (Thoroughgood, Padilla, Hunter & Tate, 2012). As Goldman (2009) indicates, organisations have started to assess potential…

I graduated high school in 2014 with a 4.0 GPA, was in the top ten percent of my class, and was accepted to Pennsylvania State University. Everything had gone right for me, and I was excited to begin my college career. The only problem was, I did not know what I wanted to major in, let alone what I wanted to be in my life. I chose Penn State because they had a great program for students who were undecided. My hope was that I would suddenly have an epiphany and realize what career I wanted to…

Common Core was implemented to make sure that the standards are consistent throughout all the states that inforce Common Core (ideally, every state). Ever since Common Core was put into practice, it has been a controversial issue. Some viewed the federal government’s act of implementing these standards as a “sneaky attack on the states’ rights and control” (The Promises and Possibilities of Common Core State Standards, p. 31-44). As I previously stated, this has always been a controversial issue…

I lived with my grandmother and her boyfriend my last year of high school because my mom was a state away, making life better for us by earning…

school, Owens went on to Ohio State, but was unable to live on campus while attending Ohio State because of his race.

By the time he perfected the Owens trademark, he had broken five world records at a meet that was held at the University of Michigan. When…

stay at for my existing 4 years or maybe years. So I did my research on the Kansas State University housing. As I am looking through my options, I was interested for the Kramer complex’s. My mom told me is it safe, healthy, and in good living conditions to live there? When I kept scrolling down it showed how it will have safety and good health conditions throughout the complex. According to the Kansas State University .020 Forming a Committee, Every College must have an active safety committee.…

feed. While I continue to scroll through I see several posts of my fellow peers announcing their acceptance into colleges. I’ve been waiting months to receive my letter back from Philadelphia University, my dream college, but it seems as if they have left me in the, rotting alone. Philadelphia University has been a dream of mine ever since sophomore year, attending school there fulfill the dreams of my hopefully exciting future. I stare at the clock and it appears in my mind that it has…
