On my sixteenth birthday, I realized how fleeting all of the things I thought were permanent could be. I had no doubt in my mind that I was going to be living in Valdosta, Georgia up until college, which was neither good nor bad. I didn’t want to stay in Valdosta until leaving became a real possibility. Early in the first semester of my sophomore year of high school my mom broke the news to me. My mom came and sat on my bed with me after I got home from school. I remember how surprised I was to…

Education is the round surface that leads one to the knowledge of the world. It gives the opportunity to pave away at dream careers and goals. Education gives an insight and creates a clear picture. This is indeed important as it builds people in several ways that no one can ever recognize. Since it gives such knowledge, it gives one the courage to get the best education there is. In Arizona, Northern Arizona University is by far the best university to get educated from. Everyone looks for…

To be apart of the All Iowa Honor Dance Team is the greatest honor any high school dance team member in the state of Iowa can receive. The honor team is created of 250 girls that outshined the other 500 that auditioned for a spot on the floor. Nothing is more nerve racking than only being allowed two minutes to prove to a panel of judges, without a retry. It’s not a basketball game where a time out can be called and one can try the play again, and if the play fails and the game is lost, another…

Will the absurdity that is Deflate gate ever end? Not for a while, it appears. In the latest turn of events, U.S. District Judge Richard M. Berman on Thursday overturned the league's four-game suspension of star New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, which the league imposed on Mr. Brady for his alleged involvement in a scheme to slightly deflate the footballs in the first half of last season's AFC Championship Game against the Indianapolis Colts. After eight months, millions of dollars and…

Most members join through the prosses of formal recruitment. This process is run by National Panhellenic Conference (NPC), which was started in 1985 and is comprises of 26 sororities…

When I come to The United State, I was thinking everything for me is novel and amazing also this is my first time abroad. First, I lived in Irvine, California. My aunt came to America two years ago, so my parents agree me to study abroad. I went to many places in California with my aunt and cousin before I went to University of California, Riverside extension. Such as I went to Santa Monica beach it’s one of the famous beaches in the world. There are so pretty and comfortable. Then I went to…

The NCAA rakes in on average $12 billion in revenues annually that flow in through college athletics programs(Finley, 2015). The latest and biggest debate is "Whether or not college athletes should get paid?". When college athletes go to college they are not allowed to earn any money while they are participating in athletics, but is that fair? Generally they are putting in full time work hours(40/week) or sometimes even more. As more and more college athletes are struggling to get by through and…

During our many outings’ around Charlotte I have learned a lot about Charlotte and what it has to offer. Going to the Mint Museum by far has been my favorite outing because I have never been to an art museum before and it was very interesting to learn about the artist featured there and their artwork. One painting stood out the most to me during our time at the Mint Museum. I believe this painting depicts my journey through life and how my mom has been the backbone for my family and me. It…

Being raised in a perfectionist’s home, my older siblings got straight As, and it was an expectation that I was prepared to achieve. Nothing lower was acceptable to either me or my parents. Anything lower than an A meant that I had made a mistake. It meant I had failed. That’s the way I felt about grades. Because of this, throughout all of high school, I was under tremendous pressure, especially during final tests and projects. Looking back on these experiences helped me to realize that I was…
