Five Colleges of Ohio

My parents have always challenged me to strive to do my best since I was a child. From pushing me to learn how to ride a bike at age five, to striving me to achieve a higher ACT score to attend the college I love, I learned how to become very independent and credible. As I approached my high school years, I changed mentally by creating a positive mindset after my freshman year. As to this day, getting a 3.11-grade point average has affected me in both positive and negative ways. One…

Republican Convention in 1908. William Taft was up against William Jennings Bryan and Eugene V. Debs who was a part of the Socialist Party. Taft won by a landslide 321 to 162 Electoral College votes. William Howard Taft was definitely a person with the credentials to be President. He graduated from Yale, was on the Ohio Supreme Court, was the first governor general of the Philippines, and was secretary of war when Roosevelt was in office. Taft was a republican but unlike most republicans…

The Oregon Ducks have been the greatest powerhouse and go to college school to beat for over the past five years. With a new offensive coach brought in during their 2007 season (Chip Kelly) Oregon's potent spread offense attack was an unstoppable force, and college teams had never seen anything like it. The Ducks would lead their conference (Pac-12) in scoring (38.15 points per game) (ESPN, 2011) and would also set several new school records for offensive yards and become the highest scoring…

just to get to Ohio State. Even when he was older he still had to deal with racism. Jesse Owens would spend countless hours to make himself better and to achieve his goals. Some examples of his perseverance include. The time Jesse Owens had fallen down a flight of stairs and bruised his lower back five days before the Big Ten Championships. The day before the event Jesse could barely touch his knees. Fighting through the pain Jesse Owens had set five world records in only fourty-five minutes.…

Miami Student, Megan Zahneis rushed to her next student-run organization meeting. Dressed in all black business attire, she took the five-minute walk up Spring Street from the Armstrong Student Center to McGuffey Hall on Miami University’s Campus. A group of fifteen people gathered on a Wednesday afternoon to engage in conversation and enjoy coffee and snacks. Five board members of the Students with Disabilities Advisory Council shared stories, expressed their concerns and answered questions…

I never understood it. I would never give it a chance until one player that I admired while watching the Ohio State Buckeyes back in 2006 was drafted into the NFL (National Football League). Ted Ginn Jr., former wide receiver for the Ohio State Buckeyes, was the fastest person in college football at the time. He was drafted by the Miami Dolphins and got traded to the San Francisco 49ers a few years later. I followed him as he played and became…

It felt sort of like in the book when Jeannette says, “We moved around like nomads” (Walls 19). I was born in Indianapolis, Indiana, and my family moved to Zanesville, Ohio when I was about nine months old. That move was hardly a tragic experience for me seeing as I don’t remember it, so I don’t think it really counts. I lived in Zanesville until I was almost nine years old. This was the only place I had ever known…

seen in the tremendous profits schools make yearly due to their athletic programs. Where the problem/injustice comes into play here is in how the colleges/institutions are able to get away with not spreading their wealth/profits to those have earned compensation. I believe this is a direct result to the rule system in place by the NCAA enabling it’s colleges/institutions to be highly hypocritical. Specifically, I see this as yet another flaw of the NCAA amateurism system. However, instead of…

rollercoaster of twists, turns, ups, and downs. My disorder shaped my life in a way I never thought imaginable. My life is much more different now, but I am not sure I would want it any other way. I was born in the small village of Oak Hill, Ohio. My parents are Jerome Potter and Lisa Davis, they got divorced when I was two years old and I went to stay with my father every other weekend. After the divorce, my mother, my sister, and I moved in with my grandmother and we stayed there for a…

I was born in Youngstown, Ohio. After being there for 2 weeks, my mother, father, and I moved to Georgia. There is where I went to PreSchool. I have early childhood memories of winter time and there would be just a little bit of snow on the ground. I always wanted there to be more so that I could make my first snowman. My wish soon come true when I was five my mother and I moved to Pennsylvania. It was very different from Georgia, just as I got used to these changes we moved again. At the end of…
