Somewhere

If you were traveling somewhere would you want to take the interstate or Route 66 ? I would prefer to take Route 66. I would take Route 66 because you can see exciting things that you want see everyday. The interstate is so tedious because all you see is cars passing bye. Route 66 is a very exciting road to take. It is exciting because you can see a lot of old buildings and new ones. You can also see all the house that are around there. There are sometimes places to shop and…

points that make a true education. “A sign-post is of no earthly use unless the person who consults it wants to go somewhere.” ( Robert Shafer “A People’s Working Education”). If the student doesn’t have the desire to learn he or she won’t. The quote explains that the sign-post, or teacher, has no earthly use unless the person who consults it, the student, wants to go somewhere, or get an education. So in other words Robert Shafer, I believe, said, a teacher is of no earthly use unless the…

We have seen music do wonders for people around the world, but this example was very much unique. In Venezuela, a man named Jose Antonio Abreu started the “El Sistema” where he taught music, somewhere around 30 years ago to just 11 children but is now considered a master for the children in Venezuela. His dream to see the children’s future shape up rather than get sucked into the world of violence and drugs is now coming true as now El Sistema has quarter of a million children and roughly about…

term fast food. Nevertheless there are many places and options to receive inexpensive and convenient alternatives to fast-food restaurants. A grocery store is a great source of healthy, cheap options to grab when on the go. If you find yourself somewhere like Zinczenko states in…

there will still be road maintenance like there is today. People are not going to want to share their driverless cars with others because we like to have control of when we want to be able to go somewhere. We are not going to want to wait for our driverless car to come back to leave the mall or somewhere else. Therefore, having driverless cars is not going to reduce land needed for parking lots. We are going to need the same amount of land for parking lots that we currently have to…

Indians welcoming diversity onto a campus is something I believe to be integral to happiness and success because new perspectives bring fruitful ideas to a campus. With the amazing Native American Inclusion Initiative, I trust that Northwestern is somewhere where I would not only be embraced by my Native American culture but where I could find others who would share in the celebration of diversified cultures.…

There is a lot to expect when going somewhere unknown. There is that sense of excitement about going somewhere, but there is also the sense of fear along with it. There is also a sense of wonderment and awe when learning something new along the way. What I hope to get out of this experience going to Big Bend over spring break is quite simple. What I hope to get out of this experience is to learn something about the environment and the actions I take that will ultimately impact our land we call…

We just spent the past five and a half hours crammed in a little 2007 ford focus. I have an extreme headache caused by my little sister from her obnoxiously singing Christmas music the whole way here. I tried to block it out and put my headphone on and take a nap but just as I got comfortable she would kick me or jab her overly large feet into my back. I would complain to my mom but she would just explain that she has the right to nap just as much as I do. We pulled up to the bed and breakfast.…

cold. You must understand that not all residents will be kind to you at first. Time is key when moving somewhere new. When I first moved to the town I live in currently fitting in did not come easy to me, it still doesn't. The kids and adults that had grew up there and had generations living there were extremely cautious of my family and myself. To be honest they still are. When moving somewhere new you absolutely cannot expect the best from everyone, because some of the time you will only be…

In my personal experience, I have an initial intolerance for cold. This makes the idea of climbing mountains unappealing. Why risk my comfort to do something extremely strenuous without any real reward? I’d much rather go to a nice sunny beach somewhere warm where I don’t have to worry about freezing to death or falling off a mountain. Let’s say that I didn’t climb mountains for the view but for the adrenalin. I could still think of many other things I could participate in that would fulfill my…
