I picked up my pencil- this was not an electrical engineering exam at school: instead of lounging at the beach with my friends‚ I had chosen to spend my summer at Specialised Power Systems (“SPS”)‚ designing and building Mr. Rowleys‘s switchboard. As the engineers and I gathered around and started to draft designs for the switchboard

Some people might say‚ a job is a job‚ but that’s not true. There’s a big difference between a military and a civilian job. A military job is very demanding‚ however‚ it gives more in return. With the civilian job‚ no matter how great the demand‚ the benefits don’t change. When someone is in the Military‚ they have to get up and do physical training at 6:30 am every morning. However‚ if they wake up feeling ill‚ they have to go to the CQ Desk for a request to go on sick call. In the “Civilian

Many things have changed since Martin Luther King was assassinated. As African Americans‚ we’ve progressed and strived bit by bit for equality. As Americans‚ we’ve regressed and only created a negative persona
