The vote isn’t even taken into consideration if not for the winning candidate, and the…

This site is considered to be a significant site because it includes Pawnee Bill’s ranch, his house, the site of his Wild West shows, and a museum over his life and career. If I was an Oklahoma History teacher in secondary school I would use this site as a field trip while talking about Pawnee Bill and his career. It would also be a good site to use while covering ranches, and how they worked. It…

I would definitely say that this film broadened my understanding of the great depression in a way that a lecture never could. I have learned about the great depression many times throughout my education but I never realized how desperate these people really were. Tom and his family's trip is a great example of this. It amazed me that Tom’s entire family fit in a single car and drove across the country to look for work that wasn’t even guaranteed. Then the family found out, from a man in the…

We boarded the plane that would take us on the adventure of a lifetime. My pastor, his wife, a group of twelve students, some of who were my best friends, and I had all decided to continue a journey we all started in 2014. We were all a part of a leadership organization named Student Leadership University. In 2014, we went to Orlando, and then, in 2015, we went to Washington D.C. This year, 2016, we went across the pond to England and France, in Europe. As we boarded the plane, I had no room to…

At first glance Kristen Ward may look like just some average teacher, but you are so wrong. Born and raised in Cottage Grove, Wisconsin she has a bit more of a background than just a teacher. With an excellent perception of view and organization she is a civil engineer at heart and mind. Even growing up, she was her parents “little engineer” always ready to design new things and create new space. From a very young age Ward had an interest for design and organization. Her dad would sometimes…
