Oveta Culp Hobby- extra credit I attended the event on Oveta Culp Hobby. Oveta was a native texan who humbly paved a way for women in law as well as the army.

In her time women had very limited to no rights, but she, from a young age was set firmly in her ways and unwaveringly stood for what she believed in. For example one day during sunday school a woman's temperance group came to her class. The women were having…

Favorite Hobby Having a hobby is an essential thing for everyone. When we are young, our parents try to sign us up for swimming classes, ballet classes or soccer classes. As we grow up, our minds develop and we get interested into science classes and summer camps. Seniors are more interested into honor choirs, art exhibitions and designing classes. For college students, the nature of hobbies changes. Advertising for student unions, committees, political parties and elections are everywhere…

In my opinion when it comes to if Hobby Lobby not offering their employees contraceptives or Wheaton College choice to end all student health care was, ethical. My reasons behind why I feel this way is because for one, it goes against everything that Hobby Lobby CEO stand for. As for Wheaton College stopping offering health care to their students, I believe that it should be the responsibility of the student to have some type of health care and it should be the institution responsibility to…

In elementary school, I struggled learning to read. I had no motivation or desire to learn to read. I did not like reading and reading did not like me. Every day I would beg to get out of practicing and would shed a river of tears from my small eyes. I would not read and no one could make me. My brain could not and would not focus on the lessons being taught. I hated everything about reading and writing. I did not understand the purpose of reading when I could just watch a movie and it did not…
