daughter Wanda and then his second daughter Helen. After his second daughter was born he started to work for Picturesque California. Many of John’s writing about Yosemite helped with it getting established as a national park. He also campaigned for Sequoia, Kings Canyon, and Mount Rainier to become national parks. In 1892 he co-founded the Sierra Club. He was the president of the Sierra Club until his death. The Sierra Club worked on many conservation activities. The Sierra Club also worked with…

it makes sense as to why we have schools that teach kids from childhood all the way to adulthood. Just one semester of school can make a difference in your education as long as you pay attention in class. Throughout Fall of 2016 at College of the Sequoias, I have been taught many new strategies on how to write well thought-out essays when it comes to arguing about relevant topics. I can tell based on comparing my first essay to my final essay that my writing is a lot more coherent and…

Preservation and conservation are two words, which have the same idea but different meanings. Both of them are used to imply measures of protecting the elements of the natural environment such as water, land and air. The ideologies used by conservationist versus those used by preservationist are the main differences. On one hand, conservationist crusade for the sustainable use of resources. Preservationists on the other hand abolish the use of all the resources that are having become overused…

to another district for middle school so she could have a fresh start. On her first day, to show who she was, Willow wore her gardening outfit that she had worn since she was young. “‘I have figured out what I'm going to wear for my first day at Sequoia.’ “…” ‘I'll be wearing my gardening outfit.’ Dad must have taken too large of a bite, because it sounded like the fudge doughnut was caught in his throat. He managed to say: ‘Are you sure about that?’ Of course I was sure” (Sloan 27). While…

beautiful place; however, the sight of gleaming city lights with the glowing silver shine of the moon resting in the sky could also be a definition of a beautiful place. Hume Lake Christian Camp is my definition of a beautiful place. It is located in the Sequoia National Forest in Hume, Fresno County, California. As we, as campers, arrived closer to the camp, our pupils dilated and jaws dropped in awe, reminding me of a child on Christmas morning as he set his eyes on the glamorous pine tree…

Almost everybody has been to an amusement park in their life these days. It might be a small one or a big one. Amusement parks are in all different kinds of themes, for example, fairy tales or animations. Every amusement park is set up different with structure or has different plans for the future. The organisation that will be talked about in this report is Euro Disney S.C.A. The aim of this assignment is to make a link between the theory, which was learned in this module, and Disneyland itself…

from Napalm Burns were “Village Women”, not Vietcong soldiers as the government had claimed. This exposure to the brutality of the US’s campaign in Vietnam caused mass moral indignation against the war. Subsequently, this led to protests such as the Sequoia High Schools campaign (With 1200 boycotters) against manufacturers of napalm such as Dow Chemical. Consequently, the Government was pressured to limit its use of Napalm in Vietnam, with strikes decreasing by 455% between 1969 and 1973. An…

We started off Wednesday, knowing we would be covering a topic that was completely new to pretty much everyone attending. We were covering transposable elements. These were first discovered by Barbara McClintock in corn kernels. She noticed that the corn kernels were either colored, or plain- but once in a while they were spotted. Most scientists at the time assumed that the chromosome for color had been repressed or had broken off. However, Dr. McClintock felt that if the chromosome had been…

Knowing my Future by Looking at my Past In my English 251 class at College of the Sequoias, a question I was asked was, “Why are you here?” I was asked that question about five times and finally had an epiphany. I didn’t know how I realized I wanted to be a mechanic until I went through this exercise. It wasn’t long ago when my father finally decided it was time to leave. I was about fourteen years old when he left, and it was four days after my birthday. At four in the morning, my mom woke me…

Innovation in Taxi Industry Evolution of the Transport Industry: The first form of transport was, of course, Shanks pony (the human foot!). However people eventually learned to use animals for transport. Various animals were domesticated before the mechanical vehicles came into the picture. Later, in 1935 the first parking meter was installed in the USA. This acted as one of catalyst for the emergence of the Taxi Industry which is now being revolutionized by the advent of new applications.…
