Homelessness Experiment I am not a good car-sleeper, so I knew this experiment was going to end bad from the beginning. I could be on an eight hour road trip and there would still be no possible way that I could fall asleep. I also can not do planes, but that is another story. Knowing how rough this night could be, Sydney and I did it together. She came over around nine and we started to get ready. We each layered up, with two sweatshirts and socks. We then grabbed a blanket and pillow each…

The novel takes place in Omaha, Nebraska. In the beginning, Park and Eleanor are forced to sit next to each other for the first time of many bus rides to school. They could never have appeared so different. Park Sheridan is a half-Korean high school kid who wore almost nothing but the color black. He comes from an almost perfect family. His mother is a beautician and his father isn’t described to have a job, but he is a great supporter in Park’s life. On the other hand, Eleanor Douglas is…

Many people believe tap water is poisonous, toxic or just “bad”. But I support it to a certain extent, depending on the levels of one of the concerns surrounding the tap water safety debate is the additive chlorine. Chlorine is used as a disinfectant in many places in the developed world. The main concern with chlorine-treated water is not danger of ingesting the low levels of chlorine itself, but ingesting the disinfectant byproducts (DBPs) that occur when chlorine reacts with some other…

big difference compared to North Omaha, where Girls Inc. is located. I wanted to experience something outside of my comfort zone. My increasing concern that the efforts and needs of poor, inner city African-American citizens not being represented equitably and appropriately grabbed my attention. Due to the increase in violent crimes being committed in this area of town, I thought that I needed to start somewhere. I originally started at the Boys & Girls Club of Omaha, but the need for mentors at…

My first professional interview revolved around a career that I wish to pursue one day: becoming a DEA agent. After my interview I found out what it takes to become a Drug Enforcement Agent (DEA).

From this interview, I learned the requirements and special training that would help a person join the DEA. The agent I interviewed could not provide me with…
