Knocked Out

of a historically black college/university. The environment in the Talley Student Union felt welcoming with students scattered on every level of the four-story building. Light filled the center of the building because there were no walls blocking out the natural light from the sun, only clear glass to give the building its enlightened look. Every step…

In 2014 a child entered foster care every two minutes (Statistics, 2014). Out of the four-hundred thousand children in foster care, twenty percent of those are teenagers between the ages of sixteen and twenty (Helping Youth, 2013). Out of that twenty percent, one in five teenagers will essentially emancipate or sign them out of care if they are not adopted before the age of eighteen leaving many jobless, homeless, throwing away education, and with very little independent living skills (Helping…

I believe everyone is familiar with stupidity. You know exactly how it feels as your brains are missing, so you can’t think about some things you want. In addition, when you are screw-up, you will think about why the others are so much smarter than you, how they are smart and how to fix the mistake. I know deeply how hard it is to fix the fear in our mind because I have experience about it and been failure as you fall in cliff then how to climb it without fighting. It isn’t impossible to reach…

A service I believe my hometown would benefit from is increasing the accessibility of healthier foods. I grew up in Detroit, Michigan and there has always been a lack of markets that sell healthy food, especially at a reasonable price. There is multiple fast food restaurants on every corner which is very convenient for many people. The lack of healthy foods is harming the African American population. The closest healthy market is not relatively close and if it is one in the area, the prices are…

Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University(FAMU) is listed as one of the top Historically Black Colleges and Universities(HBCU) in the nation. For years, FAMU has held a great reputation and foundation for all HBCU’s. Recently, FAMU has just moved up from the number ten spot to the number seven spot in National Rankings. I know all of this sounds good, but do people really know what is going on inside the campus or should I say inside the students’ minds? There have been multiple cases over…

dalliances of misogyny, male-driven tradition and lecherous behavior all competing with and against one another. Cleverly written, the characters seem to wriggle out from under our thumbs just when we think we have them figured out. This leaves us engaged, wondering about motivations, hanging on actions and words. Morality always seems to be just out of reach in The Handmaiden and Park-wook 's indulgences as a storyteller keep those themes slightly blurred from our periphery. Personally, some…

SEVEN NUMBERS It was just an ordinary Friday morning of my eighth grade year with roughly two weeks of school left; my grandma picked me up and brought me to school. When I got to school, I finished up my homework in the cafeteria and talked to my friends. However, when I got into my classroom to begin the day, things quickly escalated. I saw my teacher, Mrs. Williams, writing numbers on the whiteboard- my classmates and I looked at each other confused. What are those numbers for? What is she…

The main argument of this article is the minimum-wage increase “bungle” in New York. There has been recent talk across the nation about raising the minimum-wage in quick-service restaurants to fifteen dollars.
