I want to attend the University of Evansville, because of the engineering program. As a child my favorite toys were Lego's, because building things is not only fun and creative, but also an art in itself to make something out of a bunch of different pieces. I am interested in Chemistry, Physics, and Music. Science and math have always been my favorite subjects in school. UE is known as one of the best colleges in the Midwest. Also the availability of studying at Harlaxton would be an experience…

crisp January Sunday, of my eighth grade year, much like the kind that sends goosebumps throughout your entire body the second you step foot outside. However, the cold air that day wasn’t what made my mind wander, rather it was set on the one thing I love doing most-- basketball. It was the day I had been waiting for since I signed up; tryouts for Indiana Elite SWISH were finally here. I awoke that day and got dressed in a pair of burgundy, Pike Central basketball gym shorts, a Pike Central…

One such occupation that has changed would be that of the coroner, which is now primarily called a medical examiner. While the office of the coroner has always been an elected position, the requirements to fulfill the position have changed radically since then, thanks…

vote, it was originally vetoed but passed the very next day. As blacks gained the right to vote, they had a large influence on southern politics. The main goals of the Klan became “keep blacks from voting”, and maintain the political system that has benefited whites for decades. The Klan used “nighttime ghost rides” to terrorize black voters. The Klan used these rides to enforce a “social order” and to reinstate “white supremacy.” The political power of the Klan spread quickly through…

I woke up in the woods, surrounded by trees. “Wha...Where am I?” I asked, as if someone would answer. These woods weren’t the kind of woods that we had back in Evansville. “Good thing I added these wheels to my machine.” I said as I rolled the machine in one direction. I walked for what seemed like forever. I finally see a rode. I walk up to it with my machine, but there were no cars driving. I see a sign and walk up to it. The sign read “Welcome to Texas”. “TEXAS!” I screamed. This is not what…

Peyton Manning Peyton Manning is my choice and a good example of an MVP! Peyton is not just a great National Football League (NFL) player. He is a great person off the field too. Peyton Manning has called kids in need and donated money to kids and veterans that were sick or disabled. He has also donated a lot of money, which helps hospitals pay for medicine and bills. That keeps the hospital running so other in need can get help. Somewhere around thirteen million dollars have been donated to…

their loved one is gone. The physicians are inspiring and truly want the best for every patient they encounter. I hope to use all of their positive attributes to become the best physician I can possibly be. The physicians have also taken their time to answer my questions and educate me as much as possible, because they want me to be a great doctor in the future. I am thankful that I have gotten to experience everything I have as a scribe, and it has strengthened my love for medicine. On…
