The narrative from Knightime has helped expand my knowledge and insight into the Battle of Gettysburg and the New York draft riots because in pervious schooling, teachers did not go into detail about the New York draft riots. In chapter six it says, “The wealthy were among the easy targets of the frustrated or callous rioters…. But the easiest targets was the black population. Section of town and color easily identified them. Tradition and practice had not accustomed them to fighting back”.…

What power can words have to affect the world around us? One might say not much but what if that word happened to be Racism. To this very present day people define racism as hatred among someone based on their race, but for me racism is much more than just hatred it is an obstacle that I have to personally live with for the rest of my life. The reason why racism is important to me is because all throughout my life I have been bullied and teased for being Latino. I hope to gain more ways to…

Attorneys can be intimidating for many people. They are well educated and well versed in the law. This makes approaching them to be a difficult situation for many. Those who have been involved in an auto accident need to consider the decision of whether or not to hire an attorney. There are undoubtedly pros and cons to such a decision. It's important that those who are in this situation consider each pro and con carefully in order to determine the best move for them. One pro about hiring a…

with autism. Another goal is for both the family and those who have autism to have a plan on how they will be able to have an independent adult life as they grow older (Autism Speaks, 2012). The last and final goal they have reacted is to have service available to those who suffer from Autism to allow them to be successful in life. Autism speaks believes that these goals are something that can be achieved but will need the combined support of lawmakers and everyday people. Over the past years…

I am a first generation college student. My most recent triumph is my Associate of Arts degree for general studies from Harrisburg Area Community College. I graduated in May 2016 and was very proud of myself for accomplishing this achievement. My grandfather is the only member of my family who has completed his bachelor’s degree, let alone, an associate’s degree. I am interested in continuing my education at Millersville to obtain a Bachelor of Science degree with a major focus in animal…

building this great and powerful nation that resembles a melting pot where various ethnic groups become one. Yet, as a first generation Chinese-American, I still feel like an outsider surrounded by diversity. I was born and raised in the capital of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, where I memorize the roads like the crevices on the back of my hand. However, every time I step through the door of my house, I feel like I have been placed in foreign territory and must constantly adapt to meet the…

Three Mile Island is situated on an island on the Susquehanna River. This is located by Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. The accident at Three Mile Island is said to be one of the most momentous incidents in the history of the American nuclear power industry. The cause of the accident was due to many different variables. There were many human decisions made that led up to the partial meltdown of the Three Mile Island Unit 2 reactor (britannica.com). There were also, however, some good decisions made…

I think that girls should be allowed to play boys sports, at Harrisburg High School, as well as any other school. At some schools there are boys volleyball teams and thats a ‘girls’ sport, so why can’t there be a girls football team? Some may try and say that girls aren't tough enough to play with the boys. “First, it's called a boys' team for a reason girls don't have the body for it so how would they be able to do the techniques that actually work towards the goal for winning? Example:…

The unit number 2 of the nuclear power plant in Three Mile Island, located near the city of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, suffered a serious accident on March 28, 1979. A small leak in the steam generator triggered the worst nuclear accident in history of the USA, and the second worst in the history of nuclear power. The causes must be attributed to the design of that plant that made it extremely unsafe. The loss of coolant caused an increase in core temperature that eventually ended up melting fuel…

I am currently a sophomore at York College and a Early Elementary Education and Special Education major.

Being an Orientation Leader fits both of these interests because I would be helping students’ transition to York College and spreading spirit and moral. I enjoy helping students learn their way around York College, setting them up for success, and helping to…
