Chick-fil-A

Throughout my career, I have taught a wide array of classes, ranging from remedial mathematics to AP Calculus. In my classroom, I integrate authentic real-world contexts in order to prepare them to use mathematics beyond the classroom: throwing “basketball” paper wads to determine the best mathematical model, performing “Function Aerobics” as the graphs shift, and measuring football lights outside using trigonometry. In “Geometry Store Geometry”, my students explored the surface area and volume…

whole bunch of clubs, then I have to find something that interests me. I joined FBLA, DECA, Men of Distinction, Math Honor Society, National Honor Society, and Chick-fil-A Leader Academy. To my surprise, the clubs that I knew the least about and that I was the least interested in, had the most effect on my life: National Honor Society and Chick-fil-A Leader Academy. Two clubs that seemed to just be good extracurriculars to put on the college application at the time. I was forced to participate…

As mentioned earlier, the McDonalds business model has enabled the corporation to ultimately expand from a single, California location into some 30,000 worldwide locations. However, that is not to say that McDonald’s is free from challenges. Consumers are continuously becoming more health conscious, which frequently puts them at odds with McDonald’s menu items. This message is even driven home by media outlets and non-governmental organizations that have often likened McDonalds to a societal…

The Employment of Laziness In the twenty-first century, the two main classes of diligence are the people who work and those who are couch bums. Although video games and electronics have transfixed eyes at record rates for the past decade, there are still a significant number of people who understand a work ethic. What would help reduce the count of lazy ones so that they would learn to be hard workers, not living in a basement relying on government programs? The answer lies in the main…

My early childhood holds some of my absolute favorite memories. I can remember so many good times with my friends and family but every time wasn’t perfect. When I did something bad a time out or in rare occasions a spanking would be my punishment. I would describe my parent’s style as authoritative. Authoritative parents are firm, setting clear and consistent limits. Although they tend to be relatively strict they are loving and emotionally supportive. They were defiantly firm in the way that I…

the type. The ones that don’t know what a blinker is. The ones that decide that the self-checkout line was made for more than 50 items. You get the point. So anyway, for lunch, my mom leaves us with Chick Fil A and some Panda Express meal so I’m like, “Eww, I’m not about to eat some cold, soggy Chick Fil A meal. I’ll just give it to my…

While the chicken was taking the “Old World” by storm, a plant found in the Americas would soon become one of the most valued goods during the period of the Columbian Exchange, and today has become one of the world’s favorite treats. The cacao bean, from which chocolate comes, became one of the most valued goods to the Aztecs and Mesoamericans. It was used as medicine, a refreshing drink, currency, and even as part of a trade system. The Latin name for cacao is Theobroma, which means “food of…

Imagine being in your car driving across the street and BOOM! In the blink of an eye you’ve suddenly been hit by another car. You lose consciousness for a couple seconds and wake up to deployed airbags, smoke coming from the hood of your car, and a cracked windshield. Sounds terrible right? Growing up I always heard about car accidents on the news, the radio, and through family members and I would say that I’d never be in one. Well let’s just say anything can happen and it can happen within…
