He developed the Rockefeller Foundation as a way to purposefully distribute his wealth, he hired Frederick Gates, a former minister to lead his foundation. The Rockefeller Institute became a major research facility and contributed to global health as workers expanded its ideas to China and Mexico. Rockefeller was part of the Social Gospel movement…

Reflection Journal #2: Clarke County Mentor Program The Clarke County Mentor Program is a mentor program that was established in March of 1991 as a joint initiative of the Athens Clarke County School District and the Athens Area Chamber of Commerce in order to provide mentors to local students between grades K-12. The program allows mentors to visit mentees during the school hours for about one hour, once a week, for at least an entire year. The mentors are not encouraged to provide academic…

My interest in the becoming a HLT mentor stems mainly from being connected to strong mentors throughout the Honors curriculum. Each of my HLT mentors contributed greatly to my success at Kelley, and I feel obligated and would welcome the opportunity to give back to the Kelley Honor’s class below me. My first mentor, Will Colling, was actually the sole reason I landed a sophomore internship at a private equity firm. This internship helped me considerably during my search for a junior year…

Wikipedia is known for being a rich source for information on thousands of topic. Due to its open source format, pages consist of information from a medley of sources. With that, some information is lost from each specific source, as not all the contents of each source can be included on a page. For my investigation, I looked at Wikipedia’s page for Cattle. I have always been interested in the animal, as cows are my favorite, but I never took the time to actually learn about it. When I was…

1. Why does the Medicaid program receive a great deal of attention each year in the state of Florida? From legislators? From providers? From health plans? The Medicaid program of the government plays a critical role in the reduction of the uninsured by expanding eligibility to include nearly all low income adults with incomes at or below 138% of the federal poverty level, but not limited to children and parents, individuals with diverse physical and mental conditions and disabilities, and…

Lance, I truly enjoyed reading your discussion about The Make a Wish Foundation. I have heard of it but have never known anyone who has participated in this non-profit organization. I read more about it online to find out exactly who they offer wishes to and read that they actually granted wishes for more than 14,000 children. That is such a significant number but it was only half of the eligible applicants. There is a need for this organization and I feel it brings hope to the child and their…

Personally, I have always thought teachers were inspiring and enthusiastic people, recently I have learned not everyone agrees with this statement. Some believe teachers are extremely positive and overly peppy, others believe teachers are negative people that do not care about their students. I have also learned, a lot of these viewpoints come from the media by over exaggerating a teacher’s role or not giving them enough credit. Teachers in the media are portrayed differently than actual…

Vannevar Bush stated that scientific research is absolutely essential to national security, that war requires the most advanced scientific techniques. Bush pushed for colleges, universities, and research institutes to conserve the knowledge from the past and to teach that knowledge to students of the future. These institutes should be strengthened by use of public funds in order to better aid in the development of new scientific knowledge. He realized that the potential of underprivileged men…

one at all. Just like the different training each country have their own safety standards. Europe uses the Economic Community of Europe (ECE 22.05), and the United States use the Department of Transportation (DOT), as well as the Snell Memorial Foundation, to name a few. The best practice is to check which standard is required for your location, and the locations that you will be riding through. With all the different types and standards for helmets which one is the safest to wear?…

In America, education is held to a high standard. Therefore, since America holds it to a high standard we are funded by our local taxpayers. Education and funding is probably one of the most taxed things in America. As seen in Freedom Writers, which takes place in a urban area in Los Angeles, Mrs. Erin Gruwell did not have the proper funding to give the proper education to her freshman students. The resources that she needed was not provided to her even if they did have some resources. If…
