For as long as I can remember, I have had a burning desire to earn my bachelor’s degree, a goal which has been set for countless years. My future goal is to complete my bachelor’s degree with an emphasis in math and English, with the ultimate goal to teach algebra at any level between the seventh and tenth grades. My eighth grade algebra teacher helped me achieve an understanding of algebra that I never knew existed, instilling in me a desire to pass on an understanding of and an excitement for math to my future students. In my opinion, a teacher can share various techniques and methods in teaching algebra which will assist students in developing, in the least, a tolerance for a subject that is viewed to many as unnecessary. After recently beginning college for the first time in nine years, I find that I am faced with numerous fears and concerns that a returning, older student may have. Time management is one of the major issues facing me at this time.

Presently, my schedule varies from working a twelve hour shift one day to a five hour shift the next, frequently creating issues of time management due to the variation in…

Sometimes this problem is obvious because parts of the floor appear damp even on low humidity days. Another sign is the presence of a white powdery deposit called efflorescence. When water migrates through the concrete, it carries dissolved salts, which are left behind on the…

Crane’s description of the bar where Pete works subtly highlights the deceptiveness of this bar’s appearance. The words “imitation leather” depict the fake or misleading qualities of the bar.

The mirror also “multiplied” the number of “shimmering glasses” giving the feeling of elegance and high quality. However, the glasses were never…
