White House

When I got accepted to Union, I thought all of the waiting would be over. I was wrong. All I could think about for the first half of last summer was my housing situation at Union. My main concern was that I would be stuck in a dorm besides Davidson. I had heard from students here that Davidson was the most fun dorm, and I definitely wanted to be a part of that. One of my biggest fears before college was making friends. I thought that if I was in a suite, it would be easier to make friends.…

When thinking of similar buildings, does the US Capitol Building and the Texas State Capitol Building come to mind? If, not they should. Finished almost 88 years apart, it is easy to see that the architects of from Texas were definitely inspired by the neoclassicism that inspired those that created and designed the US Capitol Building. Following in the design of the United States capitol building in Washington D.C., the capitol building of Texas in Austin, brings together balance, symmetry, and…

what is going on with the President health-wise. But does the same thing apply to FLOTUS? There is not much history of FLOTUSes becoming ill. In fact, “Melania is the first US first lady to undergo such a serious medical procedure while in the White House since Nancy Reagan had a mastectomy in October 1987.” 2 other known FLOTUSes who underwent a medical procedure while their spouse was in…

how he was President of the United States, has his face sculpted on Mt. Rushmore, and that his face is on the American dime. I had no idea of how great of a president he had been. I was impressed on how he invited Booker T. Washington into the White House early in his presidency. He did it because in his mind it was the right thing to do.

fight evil. The speech reads as a piece of persuasion, dedicated to convincing both the legislative and executive branches of the United States’ government not to get comfortable in the relative peace that marked the Clinton years in the white house. Wiesel’s perspective was forged in the concentration camps of Nazi Germany, and he speaks as one who has known the evil he now speaks out against.…

It was exactly twelve in the morning and Gwyn was tapping away at her cellphone keyboard. The wifi in the white house surprisingly sucked and it was annoying. She huffed and rolled over in her queen sized bed, looking around for anything to do. Her dark hair and skin perfectly contrasted with her white bed sheets. The fifteen year old sat up abruptly; something was wrong. It the same feeling a mother gets when they know their children are in danger that the young daughter of the POTUS was…
