She has been shown to care about others and is always friendly towards the horses and people. This gained her the trust and respect by the industry. She was honoured with an award by the thoroughbred club in 2012. During the award ceremony, Mrs. Cauthen said, “I believe our directors have made an exemplary addition… Mrs. Chenery’s stewardship of Secretariat’s ongoing legacy and her other services to racing fit this mould very admirably.” (u.k. 2015) Cheney finally had the respect of the racing industry. (10)She is also seen to be humorous such as in 1973 at the Belmont Stakes; a reporter interviews Penny. “You are confident I 'm sure?” as she replies with “No, I’m scared to death” (YouTube, 2015).

Although these sources focus on one particular school district, the results shed light on the bigger issue that racial disparities play on our nation. In light of the sources discussed above, it is clear to see that there is a relationship between…

Common core is reflected in SAT testing and often times can reflect portions of the ACT testing as well. These are two high stakes tests that many post-secondary education institutes require positive marks on.
