Horizon

education major, my background has made me sensitive to diverse populations. Many of the students I had tutored in the public schools were learning English as a Second Language. The toughest challenge, though, was working with a deaf camper at Camp Horizons. My communication disorders class had taught me about Deaf culture, but not how to sign to my septuagenerian camper with humor dirtier than a teenager’s. Through time, I began to understand all of their colorful…

In We Should all Be Feminist, Nigerian writer, Chimamanda Adichie, opens up a conversation about gender roles and how they are relevant in society by addressing the topic of feminism. She recalls her personal experiences and emotional words of others and her traditional culture to represent why feminism is necessary and why it could be conceptualized as a negative concept. She defines men and women as being treated and seen equally. Using ethos, pathos, and logos Adichie makes a call to action…

Beep, beep, beep, beep. Instinctively, my arm reaches across the nightstand to press snooze on my alarm clock. My mind and body nearly begins to return to slumber before I remember the reason I needed to wake. I hastily climb out of bed and dress myself in my green and brown camo shirt and overalls. The excitement begins to flow through my veins as I prepare for a trip to my grandpa’s farm. Papa Tom’s farm happened to be the perfect place to build and set up our hunting hut. My hunting hut…

Growing up I have always found myself disinterested in school and could never seem to find my way. I grew up with a learning disability and always found myself struggling with my classes and barely getting by. I constantly found myself looking at the clock waiting for it to be 2:30, it seemed as if the day was never going to end. Nothing about school seemed exciting to me, I only had a handful of friends and felt like I was incompetent and incapable of accomplishing anything. It wasn’t until…

Not a sound can be heard in the dark and silent black timber. The brutal terrain gradually slopes as a hunter walks out and onto the next ridge. Wind howls as it blows across the mountainside, for nothing blocks it. Monster mule deer graze on the horizon as bighorn sheep bed down on some rocks, prepared for any situation that may arise. The Rockies are not just home to mighty animals but a wide variety of people as well: The Roadhunter, The Nature Hunter, and The Hardcore Hunter. The most…

excel after experiencing a monument. An example of this is again, the photograph of Columbus. The portrayal of Columbus, with his large bronze statue, is effective at inspiring individuals to become as great as him.

This inspiration can be life changing, and actually, help the individual make his own footprint in society. Commemorating people on their achievements is a…

Doors Eleven Months Later The sky was an opaque, gray-brown color; a thick fog enveloped the city like a wet, sepia blanket, starving the populous of a fresh breath, or ray of slanted sunlight. Seldom was there a variation in hue from horizon to opposite horizon, it was stubbornly blended, one single, dull color through and through. Oblivious to the gloom of the outdoors, a tall man with fair, curly hair reclined thoughtfully in his black office chair. His mind traipsed about aimlessly. First…
