I opened my textbook, where I read “A projectile is an object in free motion, moving through air without forces apart from air resistance and…

Grant Penrod’s “Anti-Intellectualism: Why We Hate the Smart Kids”, makes the argument that academic achievement should be rewarded just as much as athletic achievement. He continues with the fact that today’s society tends to praise non-intellectuals, such as famous celebrities and athletics, while the intellectually skilled individuals get left no recognition for their accomplishments. I agree with Penrod that there is a hatred and inattention in society for those who are smarter than others,…

thinks this because at a high school in Arizona a football team won a state title and was recognized through state banners, assemblies, and a video announcement in their honor.

My parents were very caring and helpful and kept trying to move us to places where we would have a chance at success. When we finally settled their seemed to only be one logical thing to do... help other immigrants…

Growing up, I was always surrounded by inspiring well-rounded people. My introduction into medicine came at an early age. My entire family line, including my parents, are all nurses and doctors. I have been inspired to take the medical route since I was a child. The most I knew about science was from the Magic School Bus and Bill Nye the science guy. Even though I knew little about that subject other than being surrounded by scrub suits all the time, I couldn’t see myself pursuing any other…

Jim Thorpe Imagine flying past defenders, swishing into a crisp white net. Diving into a grassy, muddy endzone for a winning touchdown. Or jumping over a bar higher than ever seen in your life. These are just a few things Jim Thorpe accomplished. He was mostly known for his incredible athletic ability in track and field, but was outstanding in many other sports as well.

My own diverse cultural background, global education, and international work experience uniquely prepared me to meet the needs of an increasingly diverse student population. Tatar by nationality, I grew up and studied in the technical university in Russia surrounded by cultures different from my own and learning to identify and value both the similarities and differences of people. My travel experiences in Europe and Central Asia taught me lessons of respect, patience, and understanding. Moving…
