Mr. Kim was no longer in his office and one of the officers held a bloodstained knife in a Ziploc bag.

Rachel must have told the police that I was the only person…

Growing up as a child I had a pretty ordinary lifestyle. We lived in a comfortable two story home with one and a half bathrooms and three bedrooms. I had a nice, cozy bed, clothes to drape myself in, and food in my stomach, what more could I ask for? We never really struggled to acquire things but we were not the most blessed family. At the end of the day, we had what we needed and that is all that mattered. My parents are the most diligent workers I know. They made sure all my needs were taken…

was making no money so we lived in a one-income household. My family--and most of the people I knew--were very frugal since they grew up during the Great Depression. We were taught not to waste anything. For example, we had to wash and reuse plastic Ziploc and bread bags (we hung them on the clothesline to dry), aluminum foil, and plastic cups. All leftover food was eaten and zippers and buttons had to be saved from old clothes to be used again as well as the fabric. Any junk mail we got with…

Overall from observing all the different levels and classes, I learned a great deal about dealing with different situations and characters of children of many ages. The entire process of my clearances and school placements was easy. I have been involved in my son’s, now a 4th grader, classrooms since he was in preschool. For most of my observation hours, I had the honor and pleasure to observe at the Montgomery County College Children’s Center. I specifically chose to observe in this center…

Corporate advertising can be defined as the paid use of media that seeks to benefit the image of the corporation as a whole rather than its product or services alone. Because all of a company’s advertising contributes to its reputation, both product and corporate advertising should reflect a unified strategy. Corporate image advertising should “brand” a company the way product advertising brands a product. A major difference between corporate and product advertising is who pays for each of the…
