I believe every student has potential academically and socially. I understand that Kansas City Public Schools can be a more diverse area than other schools. I believe that diversity enriches life and the students can teach me as I am also teaching them. There will be different learning needs for every student to meet in the classroom. Students should feel valued by their own unique and inherent worth. I have been provided with opportunities at the University of Missouri to be well equipped to…

football game! It could be a day that people years from now talk about, and I was almost not going to be able to go. Two weeks ago I bought a brand new 1967 split window corvette and spent all of my money. But when I found out my favorite team, the Kansas City Chiefs, were playing in the Championship game I had to find a way to pay for the extremely overpriced ticket. I have gone to plenty of football games and the tickets have never cost this much. $12 is a ridiculous amount for a ticket to…
