    Civil War Diary of Cyrus F. Boyd

    Boyd talks about how everyone was very eager to volunteer to join the military to have fun and to make some money and it seemed to be very easy because the war was expected to be very short. Things started to look a bit different even when, the volunteers got to the first destination to be sworn into duty. They started to wonder why they were being sworn in to service for 3 years when they all thought the war was going to be very short. Boyd and the rest of them figured that the government must know something more than everyone else knows. Even during the beginning of the service the conditions for the service did not look as good as they had expected, and the officer had seen that the volunteers started having second guesses about doing it so they put them into more comfortable quarters to keep them from going home. During the war most of the time the conditions were horrible. There were many problems with the soldiers during the war. Many died from being wounded, being shot, and the worst of all was the disease. The conditions were so horrible that many men couldn't get enough sleep and even when they did get sleep they were sleeping in the rain or in the snow.…

    What is the most important thing in life? Most people would say an education which would be correct in my opinion but nothing is more important in life than giving everyone the best education possible, “from the day they start preschool to the day they start their career”, said President Barack Obama., there is no bill that has taken place but our beloved president and his team members have taken action to help all students receive an education beyond their four years in high school. He is also helping them afford college, trying to keep the college cost down, and making community college stronger than ever, Improving translucence and Accountability so far those are the ways President Barack Obama and his successful team members are using to accomplish his goal in higher education. Higher education should be a number one priority in life; students should get their motivation by their teachers, counselors, and school representatives or anyone who’s optimistic, ambition that can inspire them to achieve their maximum education, More programs are needed to build a for students that will encourage them to seek a high education, I feel Lack of educational programs causes of Poverty, reducing poverty through higher education. Life would disastrous and detrimental with a proper education.…

    Vietnam Veterans and Readjustment

    The extent of the readjustment issues can be partially tied to a system that failed to benefit them upon their return home. This issue laid partially with the issue of the war in society. The Vietnam War was extremely unpopular by the end of the fighting, and one soldier recounted the mixed reception veterans got from the general populace. In the article “Having Been to War”, Martin Napersteck…

    No Child Left Behind Act

    Since 1965, when the federal government embarked on its first major elementary and secondary education initiative federal policy has strongly influenced America's schools (www.nclb.gov). Over the years, Congress has created hundreds of programs intended to address problems in education without asking whether or not the programs produce results or knowing they're impact on local needs. This "program for every problem" solution has begun to add up – so much so that there is hundreds of education programs spread across thirty nine federal agencies at the cost of $120 billion dollars a year. Yet, after years of spending billions of dollars on education, the United States have fallen short in meeting the goals for educational excellence. The academic achievement gap between rich and poor and Anglo and minority are not wide, but in some cases is still growing wider.…

    Persuasive Essay On Free Higher Education

    America has been a world dominating country for decades, but in the later years we've seen a constant fall in the American economy and its future. We live in a highly competitive, global economy, and if our economy is to be strong, we need the best-educated workforce in the world. Education is also essential for personal well-being. We won’t achieve that if, every year, hundreds of thousands of bright young people cannot afford to go to college while millions more leave school deeply in debt. We need to ensure that every young person in this country who wishes to go to college can get the education that he or she desires, without going into debt and regardless of his or her family’s income.…
