Volunteering at a free clinic in Lansing has exposed me to many patients who have serious and costly chronic conditions and are unable to afford insurance and have either no insurance or are under insured. I recall one specific incident where a patient came in for his life saving heart medication and his application was going to expire soon. We worked with the patient to create a plan to renew his application and find a way to expedite the processing. Uninsured patients have to jump through…
Marijuana: Good for Citizens, Bad for Regulation Marijuana is the least harmful, intoxicating drug available in modern society. We should not allow regulations to infringe upon our rights and privacy to grow for personal use. We do not make parents get a license to have or brew small batches of alcohol in the house. So, why then, should we regulate and persecute small batches of marijuana used and grown inside the home? The drug has been approved for aid in various medicinal and mental health…
leader, Marcus Garvey, back to Africa movement.” ‘Mamiya, Lawrence A. "Malcolm X." Encyclopædia Britannica. Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc., 30 Mar. 2017. Web. 09 May 2017. Malcolm X was the fourth of eight siblings. The racism the family encountered in Lansing (When did they move?) proved even worse than in Omaha.

In water salt is soluble. Salt is soluble because both salt and water have polar molecules. “This means electrons in the molecule are not equally shared between the atoms of the molecule, causing a partial charge on the molecule's atoms.” Says Lansing State Journal. The solubility of salt is 359…
Dick Hickock and Floyd Wells were cell mates when in the Lansing prison. When in prison they shared personal information with each other. Floyd Wells worked for the Clutters that Dick had murdered. Besides from that, Floyd told Dick about what was on the Clutter estate from when he worked there. What made Floyd share the information about the Clutters? Dick must of came off as a trustworthy person to Floyd. Which was probably a mistake. When Dick learned about the Clutters and who they were,…
comfortable and where one feels they are a part of a group. I personally identify as a citizen of multiple groups, organizations and countries. I am a citizen of Italy and the United States. However, I consider myself a citizen of my community in East Lansing, Michigan State University, my job and my fraternity. To me, it is identity that creates citizenship. Someone is a citizen of any group or idea that they identify with and feel a part of. The theme of citizenship is evident in Blood at the…

because they think they cannot. Lansing (2013) talks about how people who witness an act will often walk away thinking that poor kid, or I better not interfere. The person will make the excuse for doing nothing to make themselves feel better. She gives five questions to ask yourself before intervening a situation; “How do I know when to intervene, what can I do about, what can I say, what if the parent turns on me, and what if the parent blames the child” (Lansing, 2013, pp. viii-ix). Many…
towards a school rather than an idea of a school. The same is true for enrollment. We needed people to know there was a place they could send their kids, not merely the promise of one. Tomorrow night, the Our Lady of Fatima School will discuss a Lansing location, deciding whether we should move forward with a lease agreement for the…
