year on my birthday. My native american descent is the Delaware Valley Indians. This Nation of Indians is part of the Algonquian Culture that has a teaching that predates the Biblical Noah's flood and the Matriarchal system of Native Ancestry therefore recognizes both father or mother in relations. It predates the great majority of Indian Nations found in all of the Americas. It was not until three years ago that I was adopted into the Delaware River Bear Circle. I was yet to know the impact the…

Artillery served as a vital role in the actions at Valley Forge due to the weapons power and range. Given the weigh and bulkiness of the cannons, it was very tough to move them from battlefield to battlefield without numerous amounts of personnel. The main cannons used during the Revolutionary War were the “mobile three pounder and the six pounder” (weapons used in the Rev. War). One of the major leaders of the artillery during the battle at Valley Forge was General Henry Knox. By the end of the…

school year, the Mid-Valley School District rented the former St. Patrick’s School in Olyphant. That school year, it was used as an elementary school for students who would have attended classes at the building in Olyphant that was condemned. This building was only big enough to accommodate the kindergarten through fourth grade students from Olyphant. Students from Olyphant in fifth and sixth grades continued to attend classes at the former junior high school. The former Mid-Valley Junior…

As a ridge and valley region, precipitation and water resources within the Bald Eagle Watershed are influenced by the topography of the area. As weather systems move over the mountain tops (ridges), water vapor condenses and falls to the surface as precipitation. Subsequently, higher elevations typically receive greater volumes of precipitation than the low-lying valleys. As an example, annual precipitation in State College is fairly consistent…

One major cause for the French and Indian War was the creation of the Albany Congress. The Iroquois Confederacy was a strong coalition of several Indian tribes. This made them a valuable asset towards the British as having them as an ally could result in an easier victory over the inevitable war against the French. This coupled along with issues over governance produced the assembly. Overall this assembly was a complete bust as Britain was scared the committee would overpower the royal…

A memorable day in my life was when I came to Job Corps. I didn’t even go to sleep that day because I was excited to see the campus I was going to spend months on. I played some last games of “Destiny” with my little brother before I left. I didn’t eat any breakfast because I was so nervous going to Job Corps. My little brother and I left the home to go to the Port Authority to wait until I leave. The people I was waiting for came late so I started to panic because I didn’t know if I was in the…
