Hundred Schools of Thought

banning them from schools. Too much of something isn’t the best, but that’s why limit ourselves and know when to stop. “Instead of banning particular food and drinks, schools should focus on teaching students to lead active, healthy lives - offering classes on healthy cooking, or gym classes that make it fun to be active. Removing unhealthy choices is no way to teach students how to make healthy ones.” I agree with this statement because it is not the choice of the schools to try and force…

had played the “beautiful” game of soccer for as long as I could remember, starting in an organized league at the age of three to be exact. An invitation to play as a team member in a highly regarded college soccer program was the culmination of hundreds of league games, dozens of travel tournaments, and too many practices to count. The idea of attending such a prestigious college and having the opportunity to continue to play soccer is a personal accomplishment was very exciting to me. Soccer…

Missouri Western has given me the ability to not only further my education, but also to begin the path of following my dream. When I was trying to choose what college I was going to attend that August after I graduated high school I had to think about many different things. I thought about what is the difference between this college and that college? How far was the college going to be from home? Each college that I visited had both good and bad qualities. My first choice was to attend Evangel…

trip today for Art Club at the Orange County Museum of Art at 2 PM, but I guess I get here a little too early,” I thought to myself. Participating in the club activities as an member is the best experience I have during the my high school career. It blows me out of my little shell. Being in the U.S for barely five years, the language barrier prevents me from joining clubs on the school campus. It was hard for me to find the club that I feel comfortable in. I always felt left out due to my…

Dear America, “There is absolutely no evidence to support the statement that ‘America is the greatest country in the world.’ We are 7th in literacy, 27th in math and 22nd in science…The only thing we lead all the nations in is highest number of incarcerated prisoners. The first step to solving any problem is recognizing that there is one…” Believe it or not the actor, Jeff Daniels, from Dumb and Dumber, makes that statement in the show he starred in most recently, The Newsroom. The 1960s…

University of Illinois Springfield Statement of Goals I never really thought about going to graduate school ever in my life. There was even a time when I thought I would not even be able to get my Bachelor’s degree, so going to get my masters was a late decision. I was fortunate to graduate a double major and minor from the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay for my undergrad in May. I majored in Political Science and Public Administration with an emphasis in policy and management studies. I…

Shakespeare How many writers get to be widely recognized hundreds of years after their death? How can plays that were written long ago still apply to modern culture in such a way that they seem to have been written rather recently? There are many questions that can be asked about William Shakespeare. He was one man, but he shaped culture so dramatically that it is probably impossible to go a day without seeing his influence somewhere. William Shakespeare was an influential writer in his own…

Evolution vs Religion For hundreds of years, religion and science have not gotten along well. Each, having their own view, they try to convince or say that the others view is wrong and that should not be taught. Hundreds of years ago, famous scientists have been tried by the church due to their beliefs, only because they do not agree with the church and go against the bible. Now, science is something that many believe in because there is prof of where the scientists ideas come from but even so,…

in the south of the United States. Black people were separated from the white people due to the color of their skin. Schools were segregated as well as many other public facilities.
