The Celebration Imagine a big white horse, tail swaying back and forth, head bobbing up and down and Larry Bright playing the best music on a piano, you have ever heard. In seventy-eight years, I hope the tradition my dad brought me to love will still be going on, but flourishing better than now. At the age of two, my parents took me to the Tennessee Walking Horse National Celebration, for the first time. Yes, I said national, in the little town that I grew up in that has more churches than bars. Where I grew up, the nicest gatherings were held in a horse arena. I am very proud the Celebration grounds were there to help benefit the community, others not so much, walking across dirt in white shoes with no stage to get my diploma, not my idea of high class. But in that very place my greatest memories have taken place. That ole dirt arena that was the biggest spot in Shelbyville, TN.…
" Ewww! What happened to your arm? ", questioned Austin. Like every Sunday, I get up, get ready for church, eat lunch, and go see the horses because we had them boarded in Woodville and we could not go and see them everyday. We lived in Scottsboro Alabama and in the city you are not allowed to have farm animals, that is why we had to board them. But this Sunday was a little different. We decided to ride our horses today. I love riding horses, it makes me feel free. Our horses are Tennessee…
First off, I want to start by thanking you both for raising me to be the man I am today and always pushing me to go beyond my limits to succeed. But, now that I am transitioning into a young adult and starting college, my workload and daily schedule have altered from what they were in high school. With that being said, I am writing you both to ask that you let me quit my job that I have had since high school. I have brought up this topic to you guys on a couple of occasions and it just turns…
progressive thought in the twenties. Sanger’s birth control clinic was shut down and Sanger was forced to disassociate herself from her biggest supporters, the Socialists, for fear of being labeled a Communist. “America wanted prosperity, not progressivism,” (Henretta 662) and this was certainly a change from the previous era of reform that promoted individuality. In Tennessee, the Scopes trial is another example of progressive ideas being put out in favor of more traditional, conformist ones.…
The running force behind our country is the government. There are two main branches of that force and that is the democratic and republican parties. Both parties have some similarities, but they mainly have a lot of differences. The Republican Party was formed in 1854 by former Whig party members to try and stop the spread of slavery into the west. The Democratic Party was formed around 1828. The two Parties started out as a single party, with a common goal. As the years went past the Party…

While researching texts and current events about our world, I found an interesting trend in today’s culture. There is an outbreak of misinformation throughout our society. Left and right there are different interpretations of the same information, minor or major details missing or being added. Also, at the top of social media there is an ongoing battle of what people feel and what they really mean. The number of incidents that are communicated in different façades and motives to spew people’s…
When people ask what I want to do with my future, I notice myself jumping to the thought of making my mother proud. Growing up, my mom had always taught me to be kind, have courage and conquer the world. Growing up, I was bullied. I was discriminated against because of my appearance, I was underestimated because I was quiet; I was hidden in the shadow of others. It wasn’t until when I was 9. My mom was diagnosed with cervical spinal stenosis. Prior to the surgery, the surgeon warned my mom that…
computer screen. These classes aren’t going to help me with a degree in business and have nothing to do with business. In fact, I haven’t learned one thing that is going to help me in my chosen career path of business. It scares me that I have learned nothing so far in college that is going to help me for my future career. I have this friend who I have tension with. I’ve known her for six years. We used to be best friends, but we’ve grown apart and I keep my distance from her, because I don’t…
The day has come to discuss what is the most free civic stance. At the start of this class I would not be able to answer this however. For the first essay I had to write for this class I used the quiz website to find my civic stance, it was Libertarianism. However as the class has gone by my opinion on what is a more free stance has shifted towards Anarchy. Although there are many stances out there, compared to all, I feel as though Anarchy lines up with what I can classify as genuine freedom…
