I either was in a really good mood or a really bad mood. But whether I had a good or bad time, I am very happy I came to Michigan State, I could not imagine going anywhere else, and I look forward to the rest of time that I will spend here working on my degree. This class was actually one of my favorites and I think that you are a great professor Ms. Wiley. I really liked how the projects…

It was a sunny, melting hot day where stepping outside felt like walking into a dessert with no ed. But it was my last day so I had to make the best of it. I got ready and drove to pick up my boyfriend and spend some time with him before we said our goodbyes. Driving felt eternal, like I would never get to his house and that time would fly bye. When I First saw him we locked eyes and knew that it would be and emotional day. Driving back home was the most fun we had ever had. We enjoyed every…

Leaving high school and transitioning to college was a rough experience. I went from having to ask permission to go to the restroom in high school compared to deciding what day and time I wanted to attend class for college. I went to Michigan State University, for my freshman year. I moved on campus and had so much freedom. I was totally on my own from the time I woke up, to the money I had to spend on necessities. I qualified for work-study and got a job on campus in order to pay for my phone…

It is this: students go on their laptop and make their way to the familiar site of OrderUp, an online food service, and place an order for greasy, unhealthy pizza or something of the like. This has become a tradition for the students here at Penn State, a building component to the infamous freshman 15. However, they eat this unhealthy food for a reason and that is because there are no other alternatives. Students are unable to access healthier options due to the fact all on-campus options are…

Introduction Even when Temple Grandin was a baby, she seemed different. She was very silent and didn’t respond; in her toddler years she had temper tantrums but never said anything. Then, a few years later she was diagnosed with “infant schizophrenia”, a type of autism. Her father wanted her in a mental institution; her mom wanted her to go to school. Key Idea 1 What is Autism?: Finding out the news that Temple had autism was a little too much for her dad, Richard, he was disgusted by his…

On the 10 minute stretch from the City of Mountain Home to Mountain Home Air Force base I cried quietly in the back of the SUV. The trip approximately 3,000 miles across the states to a total alien place became too overwhelming to hold in the tears any longer. I wanted my old life back. I soon realized how much I had lost when I moved so far from my hometown of Valdosta. I lost a physical connection with all of my best friends…

teach me the principles of business. While working there I found the love of my life, Jim Halbert. We eventually ran off together to State College, Pennsylvania. There Jim ran a sports marketing company, which sponsored Penn State, and I went back to school for Political Science. After getting a two year degree at a community college nearby, I was offered a job at Penn State to teach Business and Politics. I remember the plaque on my desk, Mrs. Hayden Wright Halbert. It’s crazy to think I had…

Northern Arizona University is by far the best university to get educated from. Everyone looks for certain requirements to search for the “right” university. Students want a place that will educate and give them the skills needed to go further in jobs and life. A great university that has a sense of home to it, a college that attracts most to participate and make connections. These main attractions have a calling to some so they know that they want to go to a certain university. A university…

These were simple classes that mostly resembled my high school literature classes. Later as a college freshman attending the University of North Georgia, I took a required world literature class with Professor Kluczykowski, and to be honest, I felt slightly overwhelmed in the beginning. I was scared to speak up in class; nervous to voice my opinion about Tartuffe for fear of of…

Temple was diagnosed with autism as a young child, But she overcame the expectations of others and became one of the most well-known animal scientist in America. She was born on August, 29 1947 in Boston, MA. She has won over 20 awards since she became an animal scientist. As a young child Grandin dreaded the sound of the school bell unlike most kids who loved hearing it. She found loud, sharp, or ringing sounds very irritating. Temple found that most ordinary sensations were almost torture for…
