The Great Depression was the greatest economic crisis in the Western World. The stock market crashed on October 1929, sending Wall Street up in flames. By 1933, the Great Depression reached a high point leaving over thirteen million Americans jobless (“The Great Depression”).

Through my late teen years I envisioned living in Santa Monica, California. The warm climate, pet friendly areas, and being on my own were at the top of my list. I would be attending The Academy of Art University located in San Francisco, through online courses, majoring in fashion design. My “backup” passion would be the animal health and rescue field. I had always had a passion for animals, from showing Golden Retrievers and Netherland Dwarf rabbits, to my first official job as a feline caretaker with The Second Chance Humane Society at age thirteen. Upon entering the fashion world, I quickly discovered that I would have extreme difficulty with the stress levels due to competitiveness and the overwhelming…
Everyone has a dream that they should work for to make them happy. That dream only comes true once someone puts in hard work and extraneous amounts of effort to achieve it. Once they achieve their dream, they start a new one. For many people my age, the dream may be college, a career path, or accomplishing something in the future they always have wanted to do. My dream is to attend the University of Wisconsin-Madison and be a member of the marching band. I know that not only will I have to work hard academically, I will have to practice my marching and always keep a positive attitude, even when the pressure is heavy to do well. The things I must always remember are to give my best, dream big, and “Full speed ahead, Don't give up the…

Choosing the career that I want to spend the rest of my life doing is something that was extremely difficult for me. It is hard to understand the concept of selecting what profession is just right for me, and what I may be interested in and want to pursue every day for the rest of my life, especially at such a young age. I have thought about different schools and jobs, as well as the pros and cons, for what seems like my whole summer and senior year. Questions troubled me, about what I wanted to do, for awhile until it finally hit me. I needed to stop worrying and do something I am passionate about. My love for animals has always been the one constant thing in my life. I have always had pets and could not imagine what life would be like without them. Working with animals is something I know I will always be passionate about. There is a saying that I now go by, "Do something you love and you will never work a day of your life.”…

Everyone wants to be successful in life. The easiest way to do so is to set goals for yourself just for a day or for the rest of your life. Having goals makes you have a clear focus and helps you organize your plans to achieving the goals you have set for yourself. My parents always remind me how it’s difficult to be successful in the world if you have no college education. They encourage me to strive for what I want so I won’t have to suffer like they did. Another major role model in my life is my older sister. She is a surgical technician in the navy. Although she is always busy studying, working out, and doing her daily duties she calls me to keeps me on track and gives me advice. They keep me motivated to completing my goal of becoming a Radiologist. To accomplish my goal of majoring as a Radiologist I will complete my pre-requisites, stay focused in college, and stay organized.…

The Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program was conceived in 1929 by the International Association of Chiefs of Police to meet a need for reliable, uniform crime statistics for the nation. In 1930, the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) was tasked with collecting, publishing, and archiving those statistics (Federal Bureau of Investigations, 2007). Today, the FBI produces a Uniform Crime Report (UCR) annually for all fifty (50) states and the cities within those states from statistic collected from all police enforcement agencies. The UCR lists violent crimes and property crimes and categorizes each separate crime under those offenses. I have selected to discuss the crime of larceny theft for the two (2) metropolitan areas of Washington D.C., Washington, and Chicago, Illinois. In the following I will identify the number of occurrences, what the rates were, did the rates change over time, and what factors could explain a change for both areas.…

As I got older I realized what I really wanted to be when I grew up. I became interested in becoming a nurse when I was around 12. My aunt, who is a nurse would always tell me stories about her patients and what was going on at the hospital she worked at. During my sophomore year I was privileged enough to job shadow my aunt’s friend Jana. It was a great, rewarding experience.…
After investigating career pathway/cluster, I chose veterinarian as the career which interested me. I learned that a veterinarian’s may work in different settings such as clinics, or if they are a large animal veterinarian they would work outdoors and on farms. Being a veterinarian is a demanding job it may require you to work long hours and sometimes long weekends. While working veterinarians not only work with the animals they have to deal with emotional pet owners and a lot of noise.…
