By the time I received the email announcement that University of Michigan Health System diagnosed me with Acquired Dyscalculia, I felt like sinking into a bottomless glacial. Everything around me appeared as featureless hollow darkness. I heard with a chill on my back that the car accident occurred last summer was speculated to be cause.

Dr. Joshua O. Williams, a Meharry alumnus, was the first person to introduce me to Meharry Medical College.…

I took a feminist approach to help readers make sense of the conflicting utterances in the story “Up in Michigan”, written by Ernest Hemingway, to discuss how alcohol enhances the chances of abuse. The main characters I chose to discuss is Liz and Jim. Liz has fallen in love with every visual aspect of Jim, yet she knows nothing about him. She struggles…

had my own home computer, had my bathroom and dishes cleaned for me, and did not have to pay for rent. Also my community college was very small, so all of my classes were right by each other. There was also free parking for cars at the campus. At Michigan State University I have to figure out the bus routes from my apartment complex and find out where all of my classes are located. The difficulty of classes at MSU is way more difficult than the classes at my…
