Wheaton

Today, only 31% of students are receiving the recommended eight hours sleep each night (Wheaton). This causes a problem called sleep deprivation, which can lead to a decrease in academic performance and overall physical health. Lack of sleep poses a big problem to public schools due to the fact that most students report being lethargic during the school day. This has caught the eye of school board members and teachers alike, which leads to the question: To what extent should the school day be…

Köstenberger, Darrel Bock, and Josh Chatraw) is a guide to students on how to support and defend their Christian faith against attacks from people like Bart Ehrman. Compared to the film God's Not Dead (directed by Harold Cronk) which is about Josh Wheaton a college student who's philosophy professor Radisson challenged him to prove that God was not dead as the professor had previously stated. While both of this works have many things in common there are subtitle difference that may not be agreed…

of liberal arts and vocation. These two topics are often talked about in academic institutions, but many of these institutions do not go any further than bringing it up; they do not take action on these topics, they simply talk about them. Here at Wheaton, these are central aspects of my education. We are conscious of these things and we strive to understand them as students. I am aware that you do not attend a liberal arts college which is why I wanted to inform you about the importance of a…

will significantly help my family and I pay for my trip to Havana, Cuba with the Global Entrepreneurship Program. I am extremely grateful for your generosity. Let me tell you a little bit about myself. I grew up in a Wheaton, IL, a suburb outside of Chicago, where I attended Wheaton Warrenville South High School. During the summer of my junior year, I took a tour of University of Minnesota and instantly fell in love with the campus and the Carlson School; which is where I ultimately decided to…

Jo Fresch and Aileen Wheaton (1992), the research demonstrated that allowing students to explore and discover the similarities or differences on their own by either categorizing the words or providing a generalization about what they discovered increased students’ knowledge of how letters and sounds work together. In Fresch and Wheaton’s study, “the children were empowered through their experimentation and growing understanding of the English language.” (Fresch, & Wheaton,1992). The results…

I would be lying to you all if I said that I have always wanted to travel to China let alone spend a semester there. Entering college at Wheaton (MA) two and a half years ago I dreamed of learning a romance language like Italian in hopes of traveling to Europe my junior year to have a picture-perfect semester. After watching the Lizzie McGuire movie a million times, anything seemed possible. If I learned Italian and went to Italy, maybe I could be riding around Rome on Moped with a cute pop star…

will be more ready to function correctly. Failing tests and getting terrible grades are the repercussions of waking up this early in the morning. Students and teachers alike agree that six am is just a simply unreasonable time to wake up. Anne Wheaton works for CDC (Centers for Disease Control) in Atlanta. Anne says, “Starting school too early forces teens to lose a large chunk of what’s known as REM — or rapid eye movement — sleep. This type of sleep helps teens (and everyone else) control…

The Thundertones as a Social Network The Thundertones have been a central part of my social network during my time at Wheaton College. Thundertones is an a cappella group that pulls its members exclusively from the Wheaton College Men’s Glee Club. Being an elite section of a larger group gives the Thundertones an interesting social network in side of the Men’s Glee Club; however, due to the limitations of this project I have chosen to focus primarily on the social network of the Thundertones…

create an illicit market of migration when governments restrict legal movement between countries. In countries where there are weak laws and enforcement, the traffickers provide transportation and forged documents for people smuggled and/or trafficked(Wheaton et al., 2012). These conditions are the beginning of an illegal labor market between unsuspecting victims, the traffickers, and employers in the destination country. The traffickers are well paid and the employers have a cheap sources of…
