Etowah’s revitalization and development initiative began as a result of various occurrences. First, Louisville & Nashville Railroad Co. (L&N), the reason Etowah was created, decided to pull up its stakes in 1974 and leave Etowah (Lambe, 2008, p. 55).

Last weekend when my friend Karen created her new instagram account she was childishly relieved to now have a location where she could outsource her selfies. Thankfully, with 15GB memory storage on her phone, she was then blessed with the daunting task of picking the best one out of the 500 pictures of herself taken in an assortment of angles, diverse places of lighting, and various facial expressions.

In this oath, I pledged to be a student doctor that encompasses the values of integrity, service, and excellence towards all of my patients. The emblem on my white coat displays the greatest significant value to me, our school motto: “Worship of God through Service to Mankind.” Placing the needs of others first for the greater good is my definition of…

Unlike many of the Civil War governors who were elected in and out of office while the war was in full swing, Joseph Emerson Brown served as the governor of Georgia throughout the entire Civil War era, from 1857 to 1865. His influence, thus, is broad, ranging from the conflicts leading up to the war and succession of the southern states to the defeat of the Confederacy. His voice, which continuously advocated for states’ rights, called first for the succession of the southern states out of the…

As an adolescent in a society that values aesthetic appeal as highly as it does, a significant portion of my time was spent gazing at my reflection. As I would fix my eyes on points of imperfection, I could not help but notice a disconnect; it was as though the person standing before was not me. My defining external characteristics did not match those of my internal personality, but how was I to resolve this? I did not even know who I was. Hair. Any slight alteration of the strands of keratin…

Luke Bryan “The power a song has over people is the simple fact that someone could be having an awful day and your song or performance can make that all go away.
