My senior year could have not started any better. On July 30th, 2015 I get a call from Coach Brock Hayes from Louisiana College offering me a scholarship to play at the college level. Ever since I was small, I always dreamed about playing college football and it finally came to reality. Fall camp was getting ready to start, and I was so excited to get my senior season started. I put in so much work and effort to get into the position I was in, so I was not going to let my team down. But like…

In July 1994, I was involved in an accident, and in this accident I lost the end of my right middle finger. So the story I’m about to tell you is true. On this particular day I was working at the United States Postal Service at 7117 W. Harry I had just been assigned to work with Rick Sifford. Rick and I were to move some three-inch angle iron. I think there were about 20 feet long so that equates to a lot of weight, far more than was safe for two people to move. I forget how many pieces of iron…

Have you ever felt like you were in danger? As if you knew that something bad was about to happen? From these incidents, how many times have you been right ? Sometimes our gut feeling can let us know when something is wrong. However, we often tend to judge others without thinking and can offend them in the process. This past April, I was at the 145th street train station waiting for the D train to arrive. While I was standing on the platform, a man that was about 50 years old and clearly…

The cover of Big K.R.I.T’S mixtape cover is relatable, because every day I can see myself in the little boy who is sitting down, positioned on the wall, especially being in college, and being exposed to liquor, clubs, drugs, etc. This image shows that in everyday life people have to choose what to do and what not to do. People have to make a choice between different influences, and choose what is the “right thing”, or “wrong thing” to do. I have seen myself all of my life having to make this…

An aviation enthusiast once said "Aviation is proof that given the will we can do the impossible" Eddie Rickenbacker. This quote comes from a man that served our country as an American Fighter Ace in World War 1. He had twenty-six aerial victories and he earned the Medal of Honor for being the best ace in the war. We still have to give credit to the first founders of aviation because without them we wouldn 't be where were are today. Aviation still consists of some of the technologies that were…

Painted around 1920 by German expressionist Martin Zeller, The Orator captures the fleeting moment in which the titular speaker basks in the climax of his great and powerful message. While he stands just to the left of center, his body takes up the entire length of the picture and covers the span of the entire left side. With his arms and legs spread wide on a raised orange-brown platform, he throws back his head toward to sky to summon a great miracle, message, or magic. Or perhaps he himself…

The Evolution Of Drone Regulations By Rakesh Sharma | November 3, 2015 — 10:16 PM EST Share As drones become popular and find a wide variety of consumer and commercial operations, drone regulations are also taking flight. Several countries have already formalized or are in the process of formalizing rules and laws relating to drone operations. In turn, these new laws could pave the way for a thriving market in drones. (For more, see How Drones Are Changing The Business World.) Why Drone…

The journey Chris McCandless makes into the wild is one of the most unproductive “journey” anyone has made. Chris McCandless’s journey is one that doesn 't seem to be very logical. McCandless’s proved nothing with his journey. The fact that he was not able to complete his journey due to selfishness shows the lack of intelligence Chris McCandless carried one his so call “journey”. Giving out his inheritance and college money just makes Chris sound even more childish. To add on Chris McCandless…

Once and for all I am finally here, standing right in front of this coffee-colored building, with my eyes wide open and my body shaking from head to toes. What I am currently witnessing is something out of this world, nothing like what I was expecting, but so much better. Where I come from, the food is amazing, Cuban food, it is certainly one of my favorite and being at the world 's oldest Spanish and Cuban restaurant is unrealistic. Being excited is not my thing, you see, nothing really…
