off, I told her that we were going to do a surprise day trip. The car was all packed and ready to go. I had never done many interesting things like this so this was exciting for me as well. When we finally got to the lake, I pulled out the fishing poles. I rented us a small boat and we started heading out into the water. We get out on the water of the…
about 15 years Climate change is here, and by drilling in the arctic we are just accelerating the process. what we should really worry about is the natural gas. Because oil companies are lacking of facilities for the transportation of gas at the poles, they would use flaring to get rid of unusable gas and release lots of black carbon which is responsible for the double warming effect. Arctic temperatures have been increasing at twice the global average during the past 100 years. We may not…
which are: the Taiga, the rainforest, and the temperate forest. One of the biggest differences between these three types depends on how close or far they are from Earth’s north and south poles and the equator. The closer an area is to the equator the hotter the temperatures, while the closer it is to the poles the colder the temperatures. Let’s explore these different types of forest biomes. There are several characteristics that make the taiga forest biome different from the others. It has…
All around me is water, trees, and lily pads. Oh, and did I mention lily pads, there were more lilypads here than there are people at this lake. It was a hot day, suns out, no clouds, and then I asked if we could move spots. I thought there were no fish in that spot. There we are, my uncle and I on an old 16 foot Lund aluminum boat. It was our second to last day on our fishing trip and there was supposed to be a storm the next day. We knew this was going to probably be our last chance to…

The Safety of College Campuses today Campus safety was not always a major priority for many universities a decade ago. This unfortunately came at a price for one school back in 2007. On April 16th, a Virginia tech Senior managed to kill a total of 32 people and wounding 17 others on campus. If a single shooter managed to hurt and kill a total of 49 people on two different parts of campus, it was clear that Virginia tech had a major weakness involving campus safety resources.

After losing his eyesight, Ivan went on to achieve one of the greatest things in his life: becoming the first blind American to ski to the South Pole. The treacherous journey almost made Ivan lose his motivation but he reminded himself why he started: “I’m here to win, I answer. To be the first—in the race, and to the Pole as a blind American” (Castro 80). Subsequently, Eva Larsen has been ambitious since she was young, setting high standards for herself and getting involved in all…
As the Syrian Civil War continues to grow more deadly, and more tragic, many Syrians are forced to make a difficult decision; remain in their war-torn homeland, risking everyday with their lives, or pack up their bags, and flee Syria. As most Syrians value their lives, and the lives of their families, the majority choose the latter option. With neighboring countries of Syria, for example; Lebanon and Turkey, are already suffering from low infrastructure, industry, and security, many Syrians flee…
minded would one be if they questioned the law of gravity and jumped of a building. Or if one questioned getting to the North Pole by going north. Maybe one desires to travel there by heading east. Who is the one who is truly being open-minded? The one who believes traveling east will allow them to reach the North Pole, or the one who believes in only one way to reach the North Pole, that is by journeying…
