Grand Slam

Arizona. The Grand Canyon State. It's the perfect place for spontaneous road trips to beautiful destinations. I can already see myself hiking up a mountain with my friends to capture the perfect sunset and star gaze long into the night. Spending the summer splashing each other at Havasu Falls will be just another day in paradise. In the winter, we'll drive up to Flagstaff, build some snowmen, and take numerous pictures during an impromptu photo shoot. Then, we'll venture up to the Grand Canyon…

The rocks on the grounds of the Grand Canyon offer a breathtaking revelation of the earth's history (Euler, Tikalsky 17). Surprisingly there have been seven hundred deaths that have occurred in the Grand…

The Grand Canyon is one of the world’s most awe-inspiring natural landmarks. Since receiving National Park status in 1919, the park has seen a continual increase of visitors each year.

The Importance in the Unrecognized The written word is a particularly powerful weapon against mankind 's baser impulses, being especially effective whenever translated into visual format. Playwrights, filmmakers, creators all have the ability to tap into the creative power that lets them hold in their hands the capability to begin wars, mold society and incite outcries for justice. Reginald Rose was a man who effectively approached social and economic issues using art and theater to enlighten…

Part I - The Community and School Culture My school of choice to do my observation is Lorenzo de Zavala Elementary Science Environmental Academy located in Grand Prairie south of Interstate 20. Zavala sets on a land adjusted to Jackson Middle School. The school is directly impacted by residential houses and an open field. In the back of Zavala there is a garden and a greenhouse. Next to the garden there is a gated play area that has a basketball court for the public and remains open daily…

With the recent decisions to refrain from bringing charges, many have begun to question the whole grand jury system. This situation has caused certain “leaders in New York [to call] for special prosecutors, or the attorney general, to investigate all fatal encounters” (McKinley & Baker, n.d.). Legal experts have said that because the prosecutors select a “special grand jury to investigate police-related deaths, they insulate themselves from the final decision, while appearing to fulfill the…

Both books had a strong emphasis on discrimination and prejudice. In Twelve Angry Men the jury was against the defendant for racist reasons just like the town was against Tom Robinson in the…

teach with the love for student success that SMSgt. Henley showed us each day. I made the decision to enroll at GCU three months ago, when all of my research on my degree choice and the desire for a Christian learning environment kept pointing me to Grand Canyon University. I anticipate the biggest thing I will gain from attending GCU besides my degree will be a passion for leading my students through the example of Christ…
