Ballet is an artform that, like any other, takes time to perfect. The sooner you start to work on your trade and realize the passion you have for it, the sooner that you are able to strive to perfect and chisel away at it. Most professional dancers start at a very young age, anywhere from three on. Because there are so many less men compared to women, men can usually get away with starting at a later age, say 12 to 14 or even a couple years more. I started, from scratch, when I was 18 years old,…

*Views over private prisons can range anywhere from constitutional private industry to illegal, draconian atrocities. The controversy over private prisons in the United States has been raging since 1983, when Corrections Corporation of America [CCA] received its first contract from the U.S. Department of Justice (“CCA - Our History,” 2013).

To Jackson, democracy meant that all agencies of the government, including the congress, the president, National Bank, and Supreme Court must…

The Civil War was one of the greatest catastrophes that happened in America. For years the debate of abolishing slavery led the Northern abolitionists and Southern proslavery plantation owners to collide head on with each other. After the Civil War the nation suffered greatly in social and economic departments. America was moving downward as a nation. Many of the nation’s leaders tried to rebuild the nation as a whole which began the reconstruction period. Reconstruction was hard to accomplish…

It starts around 1865 after the Civil War, when the southerners came back home beaten and angry. The white southerners just lost the battle and their possession of slaves. However, in their mind the “war” is not a lost cause. President Lincoln, who was the leader of our nation at that time, set up a plan to reconstruct after the Civil War. This plan was called Lincoln’s 10% Plan. In this plan President Lincoln makes 10% of the rebels in the South to take an oath of loyalty and to make sure that…

The Trail of Tears The Cherokee Trail of Tears occurred in 1838, in response to the Indian Removal Act of the 1830’s. The forced Removal Act was signed into law on May 28, 1830, under the supremacy of Andrew Jackson. Jackson had long despised the Native population and went to great lengths to exclude them from their sovereignty. Shortly after, the U.S. government passed the Treaty of New Echota in 1835 to justify the policies of the removal. The treaty was the result of a mutual agreement…

There are so many students out there in low-income communities who do not know what it is like to have someone who wants to see them succeed, someone who wants to see them achieve regardless of their race or economic status. I seek to join Teach for America for many reasons and three of those reasons are; for one, I want to help make a difference in the lives of students, I want the students that I encounter to know that I care about their education, I want to see them succeed and I want them to…
