On October 6, 2016, I drove to Mount Vernon Nazarene University to meet with Gary Swisher, the Coordinator of Career Development. As a student enrolled in the Career & Advising focus in my SAHE program, I decided it would be helpful to observe someone who filled a Career Advising role. I reached out to Mr. Swisher because of the school he worked at. Before attending Wright State University for my undergraduate degree I visited Mount Vernon Nazarene University (MVNU) as a potential school. It was…

They have taught me life lessons that I can only hope to preserve by instilling them into my athletes in my time as a coach. The articles I have chosen to highlight in this essay show how coaches have helped to develop character in athletes, how they pushed them to be the best on and…

children was destined to be a place where athletics thrived; although we never quite had enough kids for even teams. I had an interesting introduction to sports; when I was about one-year old, my parents moved my whole family from our home of Akron, Ohio to Manchester, Vermont, where we lived for six years while my family owned our own popcorn business. In Vermont I was exposed to many extreme sports such as skiing, snowboarding, and snowmobiling, while still being immersed in the New England…

What’s Behind the Mask? In a world full of so much injustice and hurt, it is no wonder we put on fronts and wear masks that ensure no one sees beyond the pretty smiles. In his poem, We Wear the Mask, Paul Laurence Dunbar uses powerful descriptions to deliver the message that people hide their pain and suffering from those around them. The use of “we” in the opening stanza of the poem, “We wear the mask that grins and lies” (stanza 1), proposes this a universal problem and that all humans are…

In poems “Sympathy” and “Caged Bird” by the altruistic and erudite Paul Laurence Dunbar and Maya Angelou, they constantly talk about the lives of a caged bird. This is due to the birds symbolizing a hardship. The meaning of the poems are to show how hard African-Americans had to fight for their rights because of how many limitations they we given. There are many things that make the two poems similar. The first quote that supports this is “... I know what the caged bird feels” (Sympathy, Stanza…

I want to go to the College Of Wooster because on the multiple tours I’ve gone on I’ve felt like i’m at home. The college isn’t too big or too small, it’s the perfect size. It’s also not too far from home, but it’s far enough that my parents won’t visit everyday.

I also want to go to this college because it will allow me to get the best education with the class sizes not…

After my research for colleges the college that will best suit me is Adelphi University. This is evident because it’s close to my hometown, has a affordable tuition, and has a very open campus with a lot of opportunities.

This is important because when I go to college I may get homesick and would want to come back home every couple of weeks. Another reason is that if there is a family emergency or an…
