time. Closer and closer comes the bus. Sun shining into the car, the door opens and I hop out onto the pavement. There are other kids waiting for the bus too. Kids that are older than I, huddle in a circle next to the red stop sign talking. Brakes squealing, the bus comes to a halt and the kids start moving into the bus. Grabbing my hand, my dad takes me and leads me to the bus. Close behind, my mom follows taking photos of me. We walk up the stairs of the bus and the bus…

Laws and regulations exist to protect the public on our roads yet serious truck accidents occur every year that injure and kill both truckers and other motorists alike. Almost all of these accidents are directly or indirectly caused by the truck drivers, the trucking companies, or the actions of…

After conducting a search for research gaps on literature related to my topic, I have concluded that in fact, there are unknowns about my topic. I did not find any existing literature about whether or not there is a close relationship between institutional ethical leadership and organizational longevity.

My topic that I researched was elderly driving. “An average of 586 older adults are injured every day in crashes”. Elderly driving is very different than just a normal mid-age driver. When driving at an older age you need to have the mental skills to be able to drive. Some of the things that slow down as you get older are, slowdown in response time, a loss of vision and hearing, a loss of muscle strength and flexibility, and lower tolerance of alcohol. All of these are important to driving and…

I can’t remember when my obsession started, but on this day, it would reach a whole new level. Since childhood, I had always been interested in anything with a motor and wheels. This was the day I would make my first adult purchase: a Honda VT500 motorcycle. I woke up to a blaring alarm clock at around six o’clock that morning. As I walked into the living room, my nose was instantly filled with smell of fresh coffee and a burning, cherry flavored cigar that my father always enjoyed. I walked…

The Loop The cigar smoke went up it to the Orange afternoon sky. This was Gerry's favorite part of the day, when he got a brake from working at the station. He loved to just sit in front of the hospital and watch the sun set and see the cars drive by with his cigar, it was peaceful. Just like that the peace ended. It was sound like a bomb had gone off. He turned around in horror to see the hospital in flames. Firefighters pored in trying to put out the raging flames as others went inside to…
