Colorado School of Mines

Connolly.Session1.Journal I am looking forward to starting college here at Colorado Christian University. I have been out of school for over four years now. I enlisted with the Army October of my senior year to leave for basic training as soon as possible. I graduated high school in June of 2012 and left for the Army in July. I did not want to do any more school because I was burnt out and ready to start my career. Enlisting in the Army seemed like the best thing for me because I could advance…

Literacy Narrative Assignment Rachel Gurich P. 3A My first day of school in Colorado was completely ridiculous. I knew not one person and I felt as if I did not do one thing correctly. Everything felt foreign to me, even the air. I had gone about the day doing what I was told and keeping quiet, feeling shy and upset about leaving my childhood home in Texas. When it came to be time for lunch, I remember a voice in my head scolding me for not attempting to make conversation; It was most likely…

that I was moving from Brentwood to the hood”. This reminds me of when I recently decided to tell my mom that I was moving to Denver, Colorado from Lancaster, PA. Although she did take the news better than I thought, she still tried to talk me out of moving. She eventually started to support me with my new endeavor in life and she wound up driving out to Colorado with me the last week of July. Another thing that popped out at me while reading was “my father separated from my mom”. This…

I will never forget the day that my parents told me we were moving to Colorado. I had a wide range of emotions towards this, I was both nervous and excited. I can explain it best as the moment before the fall on a roller coaster, the butterflies building up in your stomach as the bottom of the hill is not insight but the ride down is sure to be amazing. Much like roller coasters new experiences have no true end in sight but the journey along the way with all the twists and turns are sure to…

found out that we were moving. The worst thing was that I was entering 6th grade, so middle school. “What am I supposed to do without Mia,Arya,Vicky,Sydney and Zoya?” I said screaming. “Well you can make new friends over at Colorado.” Mom mumbled. “COLORADO! You never said anything about moving across the country” I screamed. That is where it all began. The first day of school at my new middle school. All the classes were different. Students acted different. I enter my first class, wait…

Graduating with a degree had always been a goal of mine until about two years ago. At that point in my life obtaining a degree fell to the wayside. However, after a series of events, I’m back on track to receive one and I’m thrilled about it. Now that I’ve started my educational career at Colorado Christian University, I have three other goals for myself while studying. Those goals are to maintain straight A’s, find ways to apply what I’m learning into my life at the present time, and to share…

actively assisting workers in any trade, whether it be railroad, steel, or textile. Self-described as “I'm not a humanitarian, I'm a hell-raiser”, she became very energetic in the struggles of coal miners in 1890 and became an organizer for the United Mine Workers. Her first coalmine strike was in 1891 at Norton, Virginia. Although this strike would be a failure and she nearly losing her life, Mother Jones was unfazed. In 1894, she helped organize a reception and speech for Eugene Debs, the…

Funk-Ay down to the socks. Big Gigantic is an instrumental livetronica, hip-hop and jazz musical group based out of Boulder, Colorado. Comprised of saxophonist/producer Dominic Lalli and drummer Jeremy Salken. Big Gigantic and I share a concern for and devotion to our community.

Two years ago I participated in the big gigantic…

Traveling and experiencing new places has always been a dream of mine. College is the first step to a future that I make and use to help those who were not given the chance to help themselves.…

and the middle park regions of the Colorado Mountain, extending west to Easter Utah” and “the Mouache band lived on the eastern slopes of the Rockies, from Denver south to Trinidad, Colorado.” Their relationship was beneficial in the beginning, but conflict grew between natives and settlers as more people settled in the area. Several treaties forced the Arapahoe and Cheyenne tribes to Montana, Wyoming, and Oklahoma, while the Utes were pushed to Southwest Colorado and…
