Celebrities today are constantly seen on the news, in the tabloids, or even on social media websites. We as a culture focus on them and analyze every single move they make. Their lives are no longer private, but instead blasted everywhere for everyone to see. Ty Burr brings up the excellent question of why do we obsess over these human beings; why do we portray them in a Godly light? We as a society look to these people, not because of who they are, but rather what they have and the distraction…

During high school, I participated in the KYYMCA Youth and Government program. The paramount conference of this program is called the Kentucky Youth Assembly (KYA). This conference serves as a mock session of the Kentucky legislature in which students are able to propose and debate bills. Thus, students become well-versed in debate procedure and, most of all, familiar with the rap of the gavel following the ruling on a bill’s passage. Students will either hear the phrase, “It is the decision of…

I will be taking my family (mother, father, and brother) to Kentucky to visit Mammoth Cave National Park. We went one year when I was 4, but I don’t remember anything. This will be a nice chance for our family to catch up and spend some time together before I go off to college. We will drive there using I-30 and I-40, stopping overnight in Memphis, Tennessee. It is a 755-mile journey and since we will be driving a Prius, we can count on 50 mpg on the highways. The national average gas price…

The central Kentucky Health Department aims to help families through providing “prenatally, postnatal, and long-term programs” (Ferguson & Vanderpool, 2013, p. 552), which allows parents of a new-born to ask questions and learn to be competent with baby-rearing practices until childhood if necessary. The program is aimed to improve the statistic of parental behavior (Ferguson & Vanderpool, 2013). The goal of Ferguson and Vanderpool’s (2013) observation was to test the importance of…

minds around the fact that it has other uses besides just recreational. This pragmatic substance should be kept off the streets no longer. Marijuana needs to be legalized in Kentucky because it will be prosperous to the economy, aid in lowering our alarmingly high smoking rate, and because it has many health benefits.

To prove that, urban and rural scenes will be discussed along with the ethnic community described. This art piece has many themes with the piece, some having to do with people, place, and historical events such as the civil war. According to many authors, Eastman Johnson was one of the most successful painters in the 19th Century. His career got started by…

mentioned if there is spare time to be filled in a speech. Black lives and accomplishments must no longer be understated but instead underscored. This is the change that I hope to bring to the university. My contribution to diversity at the University of Kentucky will not only be academic excellence, but to embolden confidence of Black students, and to make Black excellence a focal point of the speech- never an afterthought. Moments of the past, such as the riots of Christiana, mean…
