Mountain

am passionate about, is there. Leaving the Midwest to live out in the actual West is something I have been longing to do since I was a little girl. On our yearly trips to Wyoming and Colorado, I would stare up at the unforgiving cliffs of Rocky Mountain Range in awe and wonder. My family’s ski trips are the one thing I look forward to most each winter. Skiing is something I have been passionate about all my life. Despite only having the oh-so monstrous bunny hills we call ski slopes at…

Did changes in the young nation open the door to opportunity for all Americans? I say yes. The three major changes in the young nation are geographic, political, and economic. These three changes all opened the door to opportunity because there were so many choices to choose from and there were no set rules with education for jobs. The first change in the young nation is geographic changes. Land purchases had a huge impact on the developing country. The Louisiana Purchase sparked the idea to…

People think having Donald Trump as president is tragic but have they ever thought about all the tragic things that happened in the past. Slavery. Word War I. World War II. People tortured. Many killed. Guns fired. Families separated. Genocide. The Sudanese civil wars were both a bad tragic time for Sudan, however, these events differ in how they started, one was because of the government and the southern rebels and the other was because of the underlying cause of conflict in the autonomy.…

These mountains occurred when the North American and Pacific plates collided, that spans approximately 680…

The book I decided to read was As Strong as Mountains: a Kurdish Cultural Journey, written by Robert L. Brenneman. I wanted to read this book because I did not know any aspects of the Kurdish culture. I enjoy learning about other cultures, and Kurdish is one culture that I had very little knowledge of. In fact, I am not very educated about the cultures within the Middle East in general. This book helped me understand new aspects of the Kurdish culture and their lifestyle. Author Brenneman…
