Today’s economy is rapidly falling short of expectations with no definitive solutions in sight. Our government representatives show more concern for illegal immigrants than the wellbeing of American citizens. Too many people live in the moment instead of looking forward to the future. Boarder enforcement has lowered their standards since the early 1990’s, practically giving illegal immigrants a “free pass” when caught. These immigrants are processed through immigration offices faster than a…
Who is the meanest person of all time? While you may be thinking it is your High School English teacher, many people would argue that it is Adolph Hitler. Hitler rose to power during World War II and is infamous for slaughtering millions (“Adolf Hitler”). What is less known is Hitler’s rise to power before World War II.

waking up in high school. My first class of college was at one o’clock in the afternoon located in the West wing of the school. Mr. Johnson was my professor’s name, and he taught calculus. This had to be one of the hardest classes i’ve ever taken. In college, I roomed with my friend Brandt McClain. We have been friends since the third grade. I brought a t.v. and a mini fridge and he brought a Xbox and his air conditioner. I was studying to become a teacher, which all my previous teacher told…
“The world is like a book, if you only read one page you will never know its full story.” These were the words of my fifth-grade elementary history teacher that have stuck with me since. My dreams of studying abroad began at an early age, but I was unknowing of the opportunity until college. I made my decision to study abroad after summer, 2017 when my parents met the economical means to take my family and I to their home country of Mexico and Guatemala. As a Public Health major at the…
knowledge and for being immersed in my beloved political science pushed me to take a valuable decision. During that year, I decided to work as an English teacher in a kindergarten in order to save enough money to assist to the Global Youth Conference for young leaders. Even though I was working in order to save, I was really linked with my job because I like to teach, to explain, to organize activities and to manage small or bigger groups. At that point in my life, I was still projecting myself…
Using this accumulation of information, we started to produce our own perception and worldview. Through the prompting of my peers, teachers, and media, I began to formulate my life-purpose around happiness and community. “What do you want to do when you grow up?” “I don’t know, but something that makes me happy”. I was also swayed by my peers to become more impartial when it comes to…
hearing Clinton’s supporters argue why she should win over him. I think that it is important to be knowledgeable about the competition so I do my best to seek out reliable resources who can educate me further on Clinton’s plan. Although they are mainly teachers and friends, I trust that they are being unbiased and delivering only facts. It’s very important to know the differences between two candidates’ positions, especially if they are in the same party. For example, Sanders voted against the…
challenge of researching black women in education. This topic is very important to me because I am a young black women and education has always been important to me. I wanted to learn about the people who have made it possible for me to achieve all my dreams. Also, I have always felt like history books have been white-washed and/or male dominated which usually pushes minority women far into the background. I think it is important to show all the accomplishments black women have achieved in…
The next year I moved up from the elementary school to the middle school. Before then I have never done any sports in my school. But in the fall of my 7th grade year I decided to join the cross country team. I never knew what got into me but I just had a sudden desire to run. I regretted that desire because the sport was exhausting, and it made everything hurt. I vowed that I would never put myself through that terror again, and I kept that promise. In my eighth grade year I joined the swim team…
