Please find my resume enclosed for the Beef Empire Days internship position. Currently I am a sophomore at Kansas State University studying mass communications with an emphasis in public relations. I was excited to hear of this internship that would utilize my communications skills and allow me develop abilities that will aide me in my career. Throughout my life I have had a passion for communication. As I transitioned into college I found I could turn my passion into a career. As I continue to develop and sharpen my skills in the communications field I am eager to put them to use in a professional setting. Growing up in Garden City I was able to take part in many Beef Empire Days celebrations. It would be a privilege to gain experience in my career field through assisting with a week of events that has had a presence to me throughout my life. My education from the A.Q.

Through these classes I have also learned how design visual presentations, and how to verbally engage individuals on both a professional and personal level. My classes encouraged my growth as a communicator through assigning projects similar to those that are required in the workforce. In a particular class I was able to practice my writing skills by acting as a writer for The Collegian, the university newspaper. During my past two years at K-State I have had the opportunity to help plan and carry…

As every college student I plan on working extremely hard for the highest G.P.A possible.

Additionally, I have greatly appreciated my student mentors and shown me that leadership…

been taking place in North Carolina over the years. In doing some research about how this impacts our own state I have learned through the N.C. Department of Commerce’s 2016 Employer Needs Survey, more than one-third or 39% of respondents from among the 1,900 businesses surveyed across every North Carolina county concluded to have had difficulty in filling positions in the past year (Salamido, 2016). CONS: The article touched on climate as a vital part of this education to jobs scenario across…

Almost immediately after the uprising passed, not just the city of Wilmington, but rather the entire state of North Carolina enacted laws that began the Jim Crow era and rescinded all of the progressive statutes passed under the Reconstruction government. The fact that only one major massacre was required to activate this change demonstrates just how high the tensions were boiling. The election of 1900 passed quickly and ended with an overwhelming Democratic win, mainly because blacks and other…

In the speech Lincoln states “... and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal ( Abraham…

Some groups have stated that the bill is designed to protect citizens of the state and therefore needs remain law. However, others believe that the bill is transphobic, homophobic, does not represent the state in the best light, and needs to be repealed. Both groups defend their positions by saying that the action they would like to see is the best course of action for the state and its citizens. Ethically,…

lot of the Radical Republicans thought that the Southern states had not learned their lesson form the Civil War, so they strongly disagreed with what Lincoln was doing. Even after Lincoln’s death and President Andrew Johnson came into power and was going to implement the same type of plan, they were still very upset with the idea. Once congressional Reconstruction was put into place it was a lot harsher than what the presidential reconstruction suggested. Congressional Reconstruction put…

The state has already seen how horrible the new Bathroom Bill has been for North Carolina, and with riots in major cities such as Charlotte, Raleigh and Chapel Hill they are doing what they can to rectify the situation. The governor has already placed an order for the bill to go back to court to be argued against its validity. North Carolina is home to some of the best colleges in the United States and some of the most famous government wildlife parks and mountain ranges, the state used to be…
