Miss Michigan

minutes away in Belleville. I moved from Romulus to Belleville and although it’s not that far it changed my life. I slightly felt the world was ending.

She would simply and respectably reply with "honey, the house we are living in now just isn 't worth what we are paying for it." Although my life was changed from this short move I had…

Harrisville is a tiny town that is almost completely dependent on tourism. Harrisville has beautiful, sprawling beaches, a faultless state park, and an up-to-date harbor. However what it seems to be lacking is people. When the recession hit this small, tourist town, its profitable production nearly stopped. Now the harbor is barely utilized by local fishermen. A state park established in 1921, now struggles to fill just half of its 229 campsites. Along with the vast expanse of beaches, the…

In a Detroit News editorial article, Governor Rick Snyder proposes the state of Michigan needs to step up to do more for juvenile offenders. One of Governor Snyder’s proposals is to establish programs that would determine the best way to treat each offender (“Detroit News,” 2015). Keeping teens at home or in local treatment programs leads to keeping them out of prison as an adult. The reform would encourage a justice system that works in the best interest of the juvenile offender (“Detroit…

When I got assigned a kindergarten classroom for my first field experience at Hope College I was ecstatic! I babysit a couple of kids that are kindergarteners so I thought I knew just what to expect. But as I walked into the newly build Rose Park Elementary school on Thursday at 8:00 in the morning nerves started to build. I told the secretary that I was a freshman at Hope and was here for my field experience with Mrs. Vogelzang. She kindly brought me to her classroom but when we arrived she…

I am interested in becoming a health care professional because bettering the lives of others is such a rewarding way to live your life. I also have a love for anatomy and physiology which I discovered my senior year in high school in my Health Occupations class. In the class we learned about each system in the body and did multiple dissections, and I loved every second of it. That is how I…

I knew that was unacceptable of fear taking over my grades. I went to talk with my advisor and asked her for help and she helped me develop strategies that will help me become successful in my life. I…

Where the waves crash and the sand beckons you to come frolic in the sun. The days leading up to the trip are almost on…
