Her personal story consists of her working two restaurant jobs with little benefits and her competing in order to make ends meet. Ehrenreich, at…

potential students. Each school communicates a different message about the way their educational experience will work by broadcasting various recruitment tools: videos, statistics, articles, and campus pictures. Brown University and the University of Florida are two colleges that use recruitment tools as a way to promote their educational experience, in very similar yet varying ways. Both of these schools are looking to attract the brightest the Nation…

When examining the views of Napoleon Bonaparte Broward, Marjory Stoneman Douglas, and The Sun newspaper it is possible to distinguish between conservation, social reform, and environmental reform. Broward supported environmental reform, but opposed conservation in favor of social reform. Douglas for the most part favored conservation, but was not persistent, and was motivated by the view that conservation benefited the economy. The Sun newspaper opposed conservation and attempted to link their…

One of the most visible law enforcement agencies that has drawn me to the homeland security realm is the Florida Highway Patrol. In the past I have attend several job fairs just to see what job opportunity are out there. Florida Patrol Officers were always on the scene looking clean cut, in shape and professional. Even their patrol cars that seemed to be always parked in the front of the different building were clean and had a nice shine. I guess I can relate to their mission by my…

notice a toddler alone in a parked car. Is he or she okay? Where is the child’s parent? What would you do? Regardless of the weather or if the windows are open, this child is may be in danger and the person who left her unattended has violated the Florida Law which makes it illegal to leave a child under 6 years old alone in a motor vehicle. A car can heat up by 20 by degrees in just 10 minutes and can heat up to 110 degrees or more even with outside temperatures in the 60’s. Did you know…

Every three years, we take a vacation. Florida. Florida. Florida. The same place. Every. Single. Time. Why? Family. 6 PM the night before. We go to bed, to get prepared for a long day. Anxiety overwhelms my ability to sleep. I finally feel sleepy, and start to drift off. The next morning, my parents wake me up at 2 A.M. to go to the airport. I get out of bed with the feeling of a zombie. I just want to sleep. I get dressed, and head down to the car. We load our luggage, and head…

My Favorite Place The Florida Keyes conjures up for me a myriad of memories and emotions, a peace and tranquility that no other place has been able to bring me too. I close my eyes and see the cerulean crystalline waters looking out of my dad’s tan 1986 Toyota land cruiser, trailing his 16ft flats boat behind us. This was my favorite part of the drive when we leave Florida City and pass by the edges of the Everglades onto that famous 7-mile bridge. I would get a first real look at the expanse of…

I remember driving all the way to Florida, for my summer vacation in one day. That morning I woke up with my throat hurting and feeling sick knowing I had to ride in the car with 5 other people. When I say it was cramped, it was so freaking cramped! Me and my cousin Alex had to lie on the floor board while my other cousin AJ and my baby uncle got to sit in the back seat. My grandma and my grandpa were in the front seat. It was a long trip full of misery that I won’t soon forget even though…

Alabama or Florida What place would you rather be laying on the beach in the sun getting a nice tan, Alabama or Florida? I mean they are both great and are both enjoyable, but what if you had to choose one! They both have great locations and they both have oceans or pools to swim in. I mean they both are terrific places to go and you should be lucky to go to either! It is your choice, so what’s it going to be Florida or Alabama. There are some major things to consider, they have different…
