superficial values. This pressure can become sometimes overbearing where students actually have committed suicide. Sarah Devens, a three sport star and all American went to Dartmouth, an ivy league, high academic institution, committed suicide, taking a 22-caliber rifle and shooting herself in the chest. She had a mental breakdown as the pressure became too much for her to handle. For coaches the sport comes first but they are very understanding to the academic rigors that especially…

When I think of professionalism in a work-related setting, the first thing that comes to mind is appearance and demeanor. The first impression is the most important one, it’s where you sell yourself and make a good impression. In an office, all therapists are dressed appropriately with men usually in shirts and ties while the women wear dress pants with a blouse. The very first thing a patient sees when they enter the facility, is what the therapists are wearing. Although it’s sad we judge…

Police were now viewed not just in an…
