David Leestma is a 21-year-old junior at Ferris State University in Big Rapids, Michigan. He graduated last 2012 with a bachelor’s degree in HVAC with no debt. David took a year off between High school and College because he was not sure what he wants to do for a career. Instead, he works at the café of Sam’s Club for $9 an hour. David got interested when he spent time with a mechanical engineer, who designed HVAC systems, so he decided to take it as his career. He has four younger siblings and…

Working for the Binghamton Tennis Charities, I gained experiences working within the sports industry. The first part of my internship consisted of going out in the Binghamton area and trying to sell sponsorship packages to local businesses. This was much more difficult than I originally thought it was going to be. Since I am not from the Binghamton area, it made it even more challenging because I did not know the area and anyone who owned a business. I received a lot of no’s from people. However…

Administration policies at women’s colleges have changed throughout the years to accommodate the 21st century generation. Women’s colleges started forming in the 1830’s with a purpose to advance the rights of women and allow them to have a place for themselves where they can be free of any discrimination. Since before the 1830’s all colleges were for men only because women didn’t have many rights and were seen as inferior to men, so they decided to establish a college of their own where they…

Research Paper Like most people, OK, I do not know most people, but go along with me; I was unsure what to do when I left high school. That was the case before I actually started to do research on my career and college choices. If you want to achieve your goals for a life after high school, you would have to go over and beyond if you want to get there. This is part of the message that Marlon Wayans has spoken, “Success is not a destination, but the road that you 're on. Being successful means…

Electoral College Process With the upcoming presidential election in November 2106, I believe that it is important to understand our government, and how the leader of our country will truly be selected, come election time. Most people think that their vote personally effects who wins the presidency, but what they do not realize, is that there is a system in place called the Electoral College. I am a firm believer in educated voting, and knowing how the system works plays hand in hand with being…

In the united states, today many Americans and non-Americans are faced with constant racist slurs, movements, and ignorant people attacking them because of their skin color and because of their religious beliefs. Did you know that four out twenty-five students report racial incident that has happened to them? Or that only 146 cases of racial harassment were filed? Or how only eighteen percent of minorities dropout or in otherwise one-hundred and eighty minorities dropout of college a school year…

Many school shootings have roots in interpersonal communication. For example, the Umpqua Community College shooting involved an encounter between a teacher and a student (who ended up being the gunman). The shooter in the Virginia Tech massacre had issues communicating with other people, and his teachers were not aware of this, causing the problem to develop further. The way that the teachers and students communicated with each other played a large role in both shootings, so it is important to…

On April 17, 2007 Virginia Tech envelops a massive panic. A gunman bursts into the room, methodically points a gun at each student and shoots. This event requires a great deal of courage to survive something like this, but presents itself in Trey Perkins specifically. Mr. Perkins exhibits physical courage-bravery at risk of bodily harm or death. According to the article “Students Panicked and Then Held off Gunman” by Raymond Hernandez, after harming many people in room 207, Mr. Cho, the gunman…
