I put sign language language interpreting as a backup plan, because those careers are usually shortened by arthritis and carpal tunnel. I didn’t have the confidence in my money-making ability with studio art, so I put that as a hobby. I was then left with the humanities, and my unshakable love of…

This paper introduces the portion of the lower arm called the forearm. The two bones contained within the forearm are described in detail, briefly mentioning their relation to one another. The relevant names and descriptions are depicted of the common bone breaks, dislocations, and the process of acquiring radiographic images in order to identify such forearm trauma. It is pertinent to always get a little more than just the injured bone in the x-ray to rule out something significant just past…

Where is David? Common Cycling Injuries Are there common cycling injuries? "My right knee just started hurting about 4 days ago. I am having sharp pains on the lateral side of my knee. I had to bike the last couple days with just my left leg, which (wasn't a good thing)! Hopefully it will be better tomorrow!" David Shirley, taking a few days off in Portland, Oregon.

As Principle Scarmato- the Hawk- had stared at the class, waiting for the class to answer, he almost formed a hole through each student’s back.. “Can anyone tell me what inelastic demand is,” Mr. Saliski, nervously asked again. “When demand does not increase with a decrease or increase in price,” a student replied. The Hawk smiled, content that the robot could regurgitate perfectly. Such an event is the clear embodiment of Freire’s Banking Concept of Education- as long as students can reiterate…

Position Synthesis: Technology *Buzz! Buzz!* “Will you just call whoever is texting you, you can finish your conversation so much faster!” This seems to be a problem that old people and youngsters have often with each other, whether digital communication is good or bad. I personally stand somewhere in between both sides. Some days I may sway to one side more than the other, but the majority of the time I agree with both sides. Both sides have good arguments to why they think the way they do.…

“You could have done this better.” This phrase encompasses the culmination of my writing experience. Throughout my scholastic experience, I have never truly developed a grasp of the concepts that come with being a great, or even a decent, writer. I have always gravitated towards the mathematical side of school, as I understood it and knew what I had to do. In math, they assign you a problem, and it has one clear solution. Given a problem, I would be able to analyze it and figure out a way to…
