There were many drawbacks that settlers had to face while settling in Charles Town. Settling is when you live somewhere permanent that you believe will be prosperous. When settlers set out to settle in Charles Town, Lord Ashley Anthony Cooper worked with these settlers to help face obstacles. Charles Town was founded at Albemarle Point on the Ashley River in 1670 by the English, and the name “Charles Town” honored Charles II, the King of England. Spanish explorers had first explored the coastal regions of South Carolina, but did not attempt a settlement because they angered local natives. Settling in Charles Town was difficult because of geography, resources, and diseases/natives.…
It was spring 1862, and tensions were high between the Union and the Confederate Armies. The Union Commander Major General George B. McClellan schemed an adaptive plan to siege Richmond, Virginia from the Confederate Army. With a joint force of 120,000 plus Soldiers and over 42 artillery batteries, his forces would board battle ships and set sail up to Fort Monroe, tactical debark on arrival and attempt to take this valuable piece of Confederate stronghold. His plan was execute brilliantly with few instances or deaths, but these forces were halted for almost for a month because of the ongoing Siege of Yorktown. The Confederate Army gathered intelligence during the Union Halt and began to fortify positions along…
I watched this documentary this morning with my class on the goings on at Winterbourne View Residential Hospital for adults with Learning Disabilities. I watched as a member of staff made complaints and went to the top to report what was going on in the home and was not taking seriously and ignored and nothing done about his complaints not even an investigation and ended up having to go to the BBC Panorama team. I am ashamed at the fact that the staff member, a senior male nurse called Terry Bryan had to go to people not in the health care industry to talk about what was happening and becoming a whistle-blower in order to help the patients as much as he could.…

The Battle of Hampton Roads occurred on March 8 and 9 of 1862 and is most commonly known as the Battle of the Ironclads. The naval battle came at a time when the Union forces were attempting to take the Confederate Capital of Richmond, Virginia. The Union Naval vessels with 204 guns heavily outgunned the Confederate vessels that had only 35 guns but the determining factor of the battle was the new type of vessel, the ironclad. The noteworthy combatants of this battle were the CSS VIRGINIA and the USS MONITOR, both were ironclad ships that changed the way naval battles would be fought in the future of the war and the future of the United States Navy.…
Once there was an English colony named Roanoke. When it was settled, Jamestown sent out about 100 English settlers to build the colony. The settlers were upset about the natives and killed the chiefs son! The native Americans retaliated and vanquished all of Roanoke's settlers. Jamestown got word that Roanoke was taken over but instead of choosing to leave the colony there and never settle near it, Jamestown sent back 117 settlers! John White the leader of the settlement choose to bring his wife, and daughter (who was pregnant!) to the colony with him to settle. They created shelters to last the winter and planted crops, and obtained a safe source of water. Suddenly a drought hit the colony, they lost clean water, crops and all 117 were starving!…
The trail I chose was called Garnsey Road Arboretum. It is located on Garnsey Road, two blocks West of Moseley Road. .We drove to the trail which took about seven to eight minutes by car. There are a lot of muddy areas on this trail. There are many different slopes on this trail as well. Some slopes are steep and very uneven, and some are flat.…

The sound of kids laughing ringed through my ears as the Disney All-Star Movies transportation bus pulled up to the parking lot at Walt Disney World Resort. My stomach began to turn as the butterflies fluttered rapidly. I trailed behind my family as we walked towards the opening gates. My smile stretched across my face, and my cheeks began to feel sore. I listened as my mom gave her safety instructions. I was ready to go. I was ready to ride the rides. I was ready see the famous Disney Castle. I was ready to meet all of my role model Disney princesses. I was ready to go.…
Humans are also impacting erosion by: the many recreational activities along the beach (e.g. horse riding and four-wheel driving places on large dune areas.), the rising population of Cronulla’s population and the doubled amount of people visiting the Cronulla Coast during the holidays.…
So this paper is going to be about happiness and how I personally feel about it. I liked Switzerland and its utopian lifestyle. In Bhutan, it is required for one to be happy. I would like to live in Qatar, I find their luxurious lifestyle to be tempting, but I am afraid if I go there, I would lose my sense of self. Iceland is too cold, and I do not agree with their try, try, fail, and that are ok stich. Without success, one cannot have the drive to move forward and to preform actions that are productive. What goes along with that success is money, recognition, and self-pride. Moldova needs to get itself together; it is to blame for their funk. Their poor me routine annoys me so much; I will most likely not mention it in my essay. Thailand, I like their vibe of not sweating the small stuff, not so crazy about their tendency to let it reach a point where the cut of one another’s penises off. Not cool. Great Britain needs stop being so uptight. I am not a fan of any of their ways, so I’ll probably ignore them or use them as an example of what not to be. India, just finished that chapter, it seems like it has a lot of air pollution, but they seem like a fun bunch of people. Even the most destitute look forward to better days in their next life. I haven’t read about American yet.…
When I arrived at the St. Alphonsus Cancer Care center on a Friday afternoon, Ms. Nelson had a very warm and endearing personality that was apparent from the beginning. First she asked questions about my experience with cancer and if it had every affected myself or a family member. That question alone made Ms. Nelson seem very empathetic to anyone that has been personally affected by cancer. Later that day, I had found out that Ms. Nelson is a cancer survivor herself. After learning that information it became clear on why she had a passion for helping cancer patients and their families get the help and care that they need.…
I want to be a Sidekick because it’s important to raise awareness of pediatric cancer. I think every child has a right to enjoy their childhood without worrying about their health. As a child, I went through severe health problems. I was in and out of doctor’s appointments and treatment. The whole time I was going through my health issues, I always had support from my family. Even though I was worried about getting better, my parents never let me forget that I was a child. They made sure I went to school, had playdates, celebrate my spelling quizzes to remind me that even though I have to worry about my health more than the other kids in school, I was no different than them. I want to remind the families and children affected by pediatric cancer…
