Lubbock

Lubbock One of the biggest connections I made throughout the book, The Liar's Club by Mary Karr, was through the city Lubbock, in Texas. Mary Karr's (the author's and narrator's) grandmother lived there until she died while staying at their house.

Lubbock has always been my favorite place because of the traditions and memories it carries. The first tradition that…

fourth of the price of a four year public institution. It will take about four years to take all of the courses and get everything straightened out after college too. There is a physical therapy program in Lubbock that is where I will probably go if I take this path. I wanted to go to Lubbock Christian University but, they do not offer this program from what I could find on their website. Though this career may look like a list of just good things it has it’s own flaws. The cost of…

In 1991, the adolescent birth rate hit an all time high with a ratio 61.8:1000 females aging from 15-19, with non-white teens bringing in the high numbers.( Martin, 2015) With the birth rate skyrocketing this also leads to more issues like overpopulating, STD rates, more neglect cases, ect.

When I was in Manhattan, it was very hard to go 2 blocks without hitting a food truck but the best places were in the Union Square, where the different truck lined up along the Water Street and Wall Street. The great thing about New York is that…

“Your character will be what you yourself choose to make it” is a quote by British naturalist and politician, John Lubbock. I strongly agree with his quote for several reasons. I believe Lubbock’s meaning behind his quote is that no person can allow society to determine the mental characteristics he or she contains.
