Summer two-thousand-fifteen, my family had the idea to help a dog rescue called Mostly Muttz by fostering a puppy. Ashley, the puppy we would foster, came to my house and she was the most lovable, funny, and well behaved puppy I have ever seen. I, being a responsible, caring person, was the most excited. My mother, helpful and loving, brought her out of the car. The entire family felt incredibly happy and optimistic. We learned to love Ashley and were blue at the thought she could be taken from…

Occupy Wall Street began on September 17, 2011, called together by groups such as Adbuster and Anonymous. From a tactical point of view, the movement drew inspiration from both the Arab Spring and the anti-globalization movement.

Over the course of my four years studying at Santa Clara University, I have found that sustainability is a practice which is learned over time, and it takes effort. The triple bottom line is social, ecological, and financial and it emphasizes people, planet, and profit. As a finance and economics major, I found that economics and sustainability are relevant because of how sustainability helps not only the physical environment, but also the economic environment. In order to achieve the best…

As any avid reader or writer will surely advocate, there are emotional benefits to encouraging reading that often go forgotten or unrecognized in school systems. Books provide the opportunity to live a life beyond reality- for some, this is a rare means of escape from stress and problems that are particularly hard to deal with.
