My Trip to Tennessee As a young child I have never had the opportunity to go on a true vacation far from Indiana. Although I have been on other vacations, but those were either in southern Indiana, Michigan, or Illinois. My first true vacation was to Tennessee and it was amazing. I will be telling you about everything leading up to my first trip, who I went with on my vacation, on the road to Tennessee, where we stayed, and everything we did on our family trip. For my first vacation, I found…
opportunity to use them just like every other normal person. All employers are legally required to provide workers with reasonable access to restroom facilities-transgender or not (The Human Rights Campaign). There was a bill proposed right here in Indiana by a lawmaker that would make it illegal for anyone to use a public restroom that doesn’t align with the gender they were assigned at birth.

lunch as well. I was eager to get to my friends locker as he had been giving candy to everyone the whole week and I was ready to get my share of candy from him. It was thursday and I wasn’t going to be at school that Friday because I was going to Indiana for my brother’s lacrosse tournament.

Growing impatient I started to pull on his locker to open it…
“Hard work beats talent when talent fails to work hard”, a quote said by future Hall of Famer Kevin Durant.

millionth time. The cigarette was almost gone. He’d have to go in soon. It killed him. It had killed him when he got the call about the funeral. Killed him on the flight there. Killed him while he waited for the single bag he packed for his short stay in Indiana. Killed him as the rental car rumbled up streets he hadn’t seen in a decade but knew like the back of his hand. He could handle the body, he supposed. Some forgotten cousin. A sad thing, but nothing worth coming home over—had one’s…
Much like Luther, Skinner had people who encouraged him and impacted the leader he would become later in life. These fictive kin “helped to satisfy and provide a model for his cultural aspirations in a way that his own family did not” (19). During his formative years in his hometown Skinner came to know a teacher, Miss Graves, who modeled “scholarliness and culture, which became his own hallmark” (13). Watching the model Miss Graves exhibited through her daily life allowed Skinner to see as a…
