For my senior project I would like to job shadow at a dental clinic. Growing up I've always been unsure of what I wanted to become, until one day in health class Mrs. Cerna gave us an assignment in which we had to research careers we found interesting. I researched career after career until I finally came across dental hygiene. I read what they do; the working environment and all the requirements needed and suddenly this job piqued my interest. I actually see myself working in an environment like this. I am choosing this project because I know I will enjoy learning furthermore about dental hygiene, and I know I will benefit from it in the…
If one cannot rely on himself, then others cannot rely on him. At some time in one’s life there will be someone who depends on them for something. If this person doesn’t have their self-figured out then how will they figure out how to take care of that person’s needs? You are the only one that can take control of your life and to rely on someone else to do it for you is hurting yourself and those around you. Personal responsibility is a necessity in life and also helps the community as a whole become more efficient.…
2: In your essay, make specific reference to three or four secondary sources (i.e., books, articles, or websites on the writings of your two authors – not by). Do not use non-scholarly sources ending in “.com”, such as private blogs or essay-writing services (e.g., www.essays2order.com). Use MLA style for page references after each quote from a secondary source, as well as for quotes from the stories themselves (e.g., (Atwood, 11)). Be sure to connect what the secondary source says, to what you are trying to show. In addition, follow MLA style (as in your documentation tutorial/workshop) for the “Works Cited” list at the end of your report.…

Would you consider Dr. Kevorkian a savior or a criminal? That is all determined on your view of the facts.…
In reading The Naked Citadel by author Susan Faludi and An Army of One: Me by author Jean Twenge, I do not believe that the students of the Citadel exemplify Generation Me for reasons that include individual behavior and expectations, exclusion of different groups, and cultural values. Both Faludi and Twenge give many examples of how each group of individuals is different from one another and somewhat alike when it comes to searching for their values in life. In the Citadel, the students are expected to act and do the same as each other in their everyday routine whereas with Generation Me they are solely focused on themselves and no one else around them.…

What is racism? In “On the Road” by Langston Hughes racism is characterized in an unemployed African American. The African American depicted in this story is known as Sargeant. Sargeant is a character that Langston Hughes had little relativity to as being homeless as well as in search for food, but he undoubtedly identified with in culture. Langston Hughes childhood, heritage, and involvement in the African American community led him to create a strong willed character. Born in Joplin, Missouri in 1902, James Mercer Langston Hughes childhood was not one that would be noted in a Hallmark card. Hughes like many other African Americans had drawbacks. His mother, Caroline Mercer Langston and father, James Nathaniel Hughes divorced only a few years after Langston’s birth leaving Langston to live in Lawrence, Kansas with his grandmother Mary Langston. Mary of African, Native American, English, and French decent was very politically active causing her experiences to bring him racial pride. A short time thereafter the death of his grandmother, he began to live in Lincoln, Illinois with his mother Caroline. Langston’s childhood effectuated his ideas leading to what became an influence in the role Sargeant plays. When Hughes was elected class poet in his Illinois elementary school, he said “I was a victim of a stereotype. There were only two of us Negro kid in class and our English teacher was always stressing the importance of rhythm in poetry.” Hughes believed his teacher wanted a Negro, because of the stereotype that all Negroes have rhythm. In “On the Road” Sergeant is also a victim of stereotype. When Sergeant goes to an “All White Church” he doesn’t see color, he see’s a place to release his sorrows, and fulfill his need for food and shelter. Instead, he encounters a door opened by a reverend who see’s “a bum on the road of life, who’s obviously unemployed.” Although in actuality Sargent was an average man during the depression going through a burdensome time. He…

While I entered this course with a fair degree of background knowledge on human trafficking, I still learned a great deal more about the scholarly discourse, controversies, and policy implications through my professor, guest speakers, and fellow classmates. Although the SAFE Center was not the most communicative or responsive client, each team still managed to receive any desired information in order to efficiently address the client’s needs. Regrettably, my team experience presented the biggest challenges in the class for me, but I endeavor to learn from those challenges in an effort to prevent future teamwork issues.…

My English teacher during my senior year of high school constantly preached, “You guys better listen up and work hard because high school writing is easy compared to college writing.” When I heard this I thought ‘great, I already dread writing and think it is challenging, now it is going to be even more intense in college.’ As I picked my classes for the second semester of this year, I knew I had to pick English 101 and I was not looking forward to it at all. I was a pretty decent writer in high school, but my English teacher made it seem like college writing was only for people who were brilliant enough to go to a prestigious Ivy League school, like Harvard. As this semester went on and I beginning writing papers, I noticed that I did not fear writing as much because I was not that bad at it. Each paper got easier to write for me because I had an awesome teacher and my confidence had increased dramatically by getting better grades on each progressing paper that I wrote. I believe from learning the skills of this course and careful consideration of the objectives outlining this course, I grew from being sacred about writing to learning to accept the difficult challenge of writing as a college student.…
