Through the course of this assignment transcribing and interpreting Dorothy’s diary, there was a great amount of information to be gleaned about her life. While some aspects of Dorothy’s life, such as specific details about herself, are lacking, she provides plenty of evidence from which to draw conclusions about her employment, location, age, activities she does for fun, how she travels around, and the people she teaches and with which she works, shops, and goes out. To begin, it is clear that Dorothy is teacher in a school. We know that she is a teacher, as this is a thread that runs throughout her diary. For example, on November first she writes about overseeing another man, Mr. Wilson, setting up a new playground at the school where she works. She writes on the same day about looking at “my room” at the school so as to measure the windows and doors to size curtains for them. On the following day, she mentions meeting a Mr. Brownell to decide on the color of her room, and looking for new curtains. November third, she again mentions Mr. Brownell doing the decorating of the new room, and showing a Miss Mull her new quarters in comparison to her old room. After the weekend, on November sixth she writes about going into town to purchase curtains for her room, and on November seventh she mentions the children coming to the new room. She finishes the curtains for her room on November eighth, and on November tenth a parent of two of her students visits at the school and is…

I learned when I was 12 it’s 3.4 miles between my house and Ryan Field. If I zig-zag through the tree-lined side streets instead, it bumps the distance up to a little over 4 miles, but the extra minutes of biking are a small price to pay to avoid the busy Sheridan Road. It’s this familiarity with Northwestern which sent me east to Lafayette last summer for something new, and, now after realizing how much I miss my hometown campus, brings me back. Football and basketball games were the…

times fewer women, especially minorities, have been involved in the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM). This information serves as a chilling contradiction to the late 1960s when technological jobs such as computer programming was deemed as something a savvy young woman could do even comparing computer planning to “planning a dinner”. This paper will analyze why there has been a decrease in the amount of women in the fields of STEM, ways to increase the percentage…

Walking out onto the green grass of the Braden River Soccer Fields, I have butterflies in my stomach. It was a hot, beautiful day with the sun beating down and not a cloud in the sky. I look at the small, red clubhouse building and see four of my teammates sitting down against the wall of it. I hardly knew anyone on my team, except a boy named Noah with blond, curly hair and pale skin. As my team showed up one by one, nobody said anything to each other. Before the game started, our coach, Coach…

Eight acres of land to keep and maintain the farm animals that included: Goats, Pigs, Cows, and Chicken. Many trees, mainly Guango trees to protect the animals from the heat.

beginning as any to tell the story of my life, especially when the story begins on the day I was born.” “Yes, Ma’am, it will be fine.” “I was born a sharecroppers daughter. Of course, I don’t actually remember the day I was born. I reckon there aren’t many that can. Mama said I was born on the thirteenth day of September and it was still hot as Hades. From my figuring, the year was 1936. The first real remembrance I have, was watching my mama change Anna’s diaper. Anna was my baby sister. We…
