If someone were to ask you “What is an American?”, most people would state that we have the power of freedom. Others would say we have many opportunities and big dreams that we hope for in the future. America is full of many life-changing possibilities, and you will have many different opportunities that you will encounter. In other countries, most people are slaves, they aren’t able to do what they want, or they aren’t able to fulfill their dreams that they had set aside. That’s where America…

As young adults we are taught to develop skills and talents which with time will become our reputation. Building a leadership brand requires determination and innovation as well as an open mind. Just as brands evolve over centuries a person has to be able to be self-aware of its surrounding and how they change.

“I have to get out of here.” I thought as soon as I opened my eyes. I was woken up from a hit in the face by a half-awake Brooke, telling me that my sister was calling me. We 've been in Alabama for four days and we leave tomorrow morning. I cannot wait to be home. This trip has not been at all how I wanted it to be. We 'd been planning this trip for months. It 's a graduation present from my mom and uncle. As part of the gift, I got to bring two friends. Of course I chose to bring my two…

In today’s society women are still treated differently like they were in the past. Before, women were marginalized because they weren’t allowed to do the things that men were able to do. Like go out and get a job or even vote. It wasn’t even heard of to have women go into the military because only men were allowed to. Nowadays Women are free to do things they couldn’t do before. But, they still get marginalized for being a women. In the 1800’s, people were expected to do jobs that were fit…

The historical center's addition of outfits, weapons, and fight banners from the Civil War…

We have made it to Alcove Springs, our first stop on our way to Oregon. It took us only one week to get here, which according to James Wright, is pretty good. Paul doesn’t like that man very much. I think it’s because he is a more experienced farmer then Paul could ever hope to be. Paul really doesn't seem to be taking a huge liking to anyone in our wagon train, except for am Conrad. I’m afraid Sam is the only one Paul trusts, although only Heaven knows why. I for one like most everyone we are…

Before I beginning do The Discovery Wheel, I thought it would be like an activity that tells me about my study skill. On the activity said this will tell me about what kind of student I am and what I wanted to be. I thought my result will turn out all very low. I think myself is not the types that like to read, take note in class or have a good memorize nothing like that. That is just how I was in high school. When I finished the activity, the wheel is not smooth. The line goes up…

For me, a good life consists of three things. First, overall happiness. Second, a good financial status. Third, a good spiritual connection with God.

Viktor Frankl said, “one must have a reason to “be happy,” and that is very much true. I think that the reason for wanting to be is that everyone wants good well-being. No one wants to…
