Upward Bound

Do you remember being so young yet so bold that you would tell everyone around you the wonderful things you were going to accomplish once you were an adult? In my case, I would go around revealing that I was going to become the president of the united states or a teacher because my teacher, at the time, didn’t teach accordingly to what I wanted. Currently, as I am nearing the end of my high school career, I flash back to those fearless moments wondering where everyone, including myself, put…

reach goals he may have, freely. Rousseau’s observance is applicable to man and his relationship to society across the timeline of history and the current state of this post-modern world is no exception.

even more. According to Hines, Merdinger, & Wyatt (2005), educational systems serve as a safe haven or a place of escape for children that lived in foster care. This was something experienced by Steve as excelled in high school with the help of Upward Bound and was accepted to Boston College.

The 2008 financial crisis was caused by an excessive corporate appetite for profit by the United States. When one of the largest banks in the United States fell into bankruptcy, fear spread globally. Starting in the nineteenth century, Canada and the United States took contrasting paths. The United States allowed a difficult system to develop, with more small and less stable banks. Canada, however, set up a concentrated banking system that controlled mortgage lending and investment banking under…

fingers in so many pies, some endeavours were bound to fail. However, thanks to his famously big mouth and infinitely bigger ego, Trump ruins everything. Here we explore my five personal favorites: 1. Trump ruined his very own “university.” This is a power trip if ever I’ve seen one. In 2005, Trump founded Trump University—a technically illegally named institution that was not accredited and therefore could not award actual degrees.

mosaic and stone (Khan, 96) even the repetitiveness of the arches add to a geometric nature which represents the orderliness of the divine as well as the acting as a mechanism for meditation and show “the idea of a diverse umma or community of Muslims, bound together by Islam”(Khan, 95). Additionally, the use of Epigraphy, calligraphy that is written on the wall, for verses of the quran adds the literal words into the space of prayer and can be used to center prayers or meditations or to just…

One of the greatest terrors of the human mind is death. Death hovers over us, holding a ticking clock which counts down the time that we have left before we join him. Subconsciously, all humans can hear this clock from the moment we truly understand who Death represents- the end. This understanding guides our actions while we are alive. Humans try to be the best they can in order to be able to reflect back in the end with a sense of accomplishment. Nathaniel Hawthorne’s short story, “The Hollow…
