From the slave days, the KKK, Martin Luther King, all the way up to today, racism unfortunately still exists today. Although there have been laws made, bringing about an impact, it still continues.…

There are times in our life we all struggle and need someone to teach us the way or just give us a little guidance. For me that someone has taught me so much. They have taught me all the skills I have learned throughout the years in the five sports I play, and all the life lessons that came along with it. I remember during these times it was not always easy. It was frustrating and discouraging when I could not figure it out. It may look easy for softball players to throw or hit the ball, or for…

Both of these questions have a lot to do with the inconsistencies of the courts and the questioning of their decisions. The Huffington Post came out with an article that was titled “Men sentenced to longer prison terms than a woman for the exact same crime.” If a person does the same crime as someone else, they…

liberty in the land of opportunity. Jamestown, Virginia, in 1607 was at the head of those under Europeans established settlements like the New England colonies, the southern colonies with African slave labor, and the middle colonies accordingly. American colonists of the age adjusted to adverse environments, from their an initial failure. Moreover, increasing colonial residents like indentured servants or African slaves would be a catalyst; the society in early North America grew dramatically…

In Enquire journey it expresses about struggles, disappointment, and all sorts of things we usually don 't like to talk about. In the novel it had many obstacles that most people usually endure on a day to day bases because it’s reality, it’s the truth. It isn 't bad nor good but realizing that it 's part of our society is one step closer to achieving a growth mindset.
