Inhale confidence, exhale doubt. Inhale confidence, exhale doubt. Inhale confidence, exhale doubt. This is a mantra that I repeat to myself when I am training for or running in a long distance race, but it equally describes my journey to pursuing a second degree in nursing. This journey began more than a decade ago and that time has given me perspective and confidence in my ability to succeed that I would not have had earlier in life. This is a mantra that I repeat to myself when I am…

but never really get out. “Apparently, the world ends at the county line,” my grandparents would say, but I could always catch the hint of mockery in their voice. My grandparents, who are also my guardians, are both retired school teachers from the DeKalb County School System in Atlanta, Georgia.

My grandfather, who served in the U.S. Military, is a big advocate for getting out and seeing…

For example, a video called “Boatlift” describes that on 9/11…

There were many cases that reached three Supreme Court cases that lead to the segregation of schools. I will discuss three cases that led to the segregation of schools and the establishment of the separate but equal doctrine after the passage of Plessy v. Ferguson. The Brown v.

Board of Education, 1954 set great policy…

For that day will always remain in my mind as the day in which all the things that I had been curious about were seen through my own eyes. Furthermore, my experiences at DeKalb Medical Hospital have enabled me to become an effective mediator between the patients and the doctors. The exposure exemplified that I am capable of being a medical student because I have demonstrated the awareness. Also by the opportunity…

Recruitment is crucial for a NPO because the employees are a major and in most cases, the only asset of such organisations as they cannot be substituted with physical capital (Akingbola, 2006). Moreover, the recruitment pool for these companies is limited as they require the employees who are intrinsically motivated. Furthermore, non-profit firms require the workforce whose psychological ideology is in line with the mission of the company along with being competent in their respective job roles.…

Animal shelters are sheltering facilities designated for animals that have been lost, abandoned, or found on the streets. PETA has conducted research that “approximately six to eight million animals are handled by animal shelters each year in the U.S” (1). The animals housed at these facilities are often petrified because of the foreign environment of strange animals, poor living quarters, and small quantities of food. The lack of people adopting from shelters has created an issue of…
