West Orange

For many parents, the birth of a new child brings joy and glee. However for my father, I was a burden made by his late-night illegal activities. West Englewood is an area many people have not heard of - it’s tucked inside the southwest side of Chicago. During the day, the people of Englewood would wake up to the smell and sound of gunshots and burning tyres. Police officers would parade the streets in their well-ironed uniforms and the alleys would be covered with bright and colourful…

Andy Mineo is such a breath of fresh air as some people have said due to his very well-exposed inclination to simultaneously infuse his deep-seated Christian values to his musical genre which is hip hop, hence, the Christian hip hop classification. Currently being a frequent mainstay on several American chart listing sites, Mineo's associated with musical outfit Reach is ceaselessly making quite a scene in introducing a different kind of music to the general populace. Born April 17, 1988, Andy…

"Nobody can tell me where I can and can't go." Kanye West. Possibly the most controversial celebrity of the century. His arrogant, ego-centrical, out spoken, and stubborn traits draw the public's eye to him. Putting them in awe of how someone could have no filter and have a sole focus for themselves. Just like everybody says, "no one loves Kanye more than Kanye." In the Greek play "Antigone" the King of Thebes referred to as Creon brought himself to the citizens attention based off of his…

The Civil War was much more than a war to preserve the Union and give the South its independence; it was a war against slavery between the North and the South. In the war, each side had its own advantages and disadvantages. Without the success of the North during the Civil War, America would not be as unified as it is today. The North had the advantage of being more industrialized than the South. They had 90% of all of the United States industrial capacity. The Union needed a million uniforms…

There has been several stabbing incidents by Palestinians against Israelis, which began in early October. Palestinians have attacked Jerusalem and central and northern Israel, and in the West Bank. The conflict between Israelis and Palestinians began due to the two communities clashing at Jerusalem, the holy site in September. On October 18, 2015, an Israeli soldier was killed, along with many others wounded, during a gun and knife attack at a bus station located in the city of Beersheva.…

the Palestinian people underwent drastic changes. These changes came following the defeat of a coalition of Arab nations in war against Israel known as the June War. In the June War Israel conquered territory from both Jordan and Egypt known as the West Bank and the Gaza Strip respectively in which the majority of Palestinian people lived. The PLO’s leadership, thought by many scholars to be a puppet of the Egyptian government, which was one of the losers in the June War, resigned (Harms and…

be Berlin Wall, from East Germany to West Germany, during the Cold War. During this time the Soviet Union had control over East Berlin, and West Berlin was under the control of America, Britain and France. The people of the East were very unhappy about the lack of political and economical freedom. The USSR had industrialised and militarised East Germany, causing many people to fear the Stasi; the most pervasive secret police agencies. On the other hand, West Berlin had the dominant currency,…

incites on management I was already planning on putting in motion; for the County Commission, I just didn't have the same vernacular as the reading to express it. While government isn't exactly the same as the corporate system, the county commission in West Virginia is pretty close. That is because the county commission is the administrators for the rest of the county government. They are in charge of the budget, regulations,…

As of 2017, my mornings are fairly routine. I get up at about 5 a.m. so that I have time to eat, and drink any supplements I need to before heading to the gym and meet my pageant director. I find that getting up at this time to work out has some benefits. One of them is that I feel the pressure to actually get up and be productive, because I know someone is there waiting for me. Another is that I have someone to accompany me to all the machines in the area of the gym that I hate entering.. also…
