“Don’t go for something that sounds sexy on paper‚” stated my professor as she poured my class a glass of her great wisdom at the end of the semester. Truer words never ringed so clear and I wished I heed her advice months prior. I thought I hit the gold mine when I found a high-paying graduate assistantship dedicated to social justice. Sadly‚ working there as a black cisgendered womyn was a great nightmare. My first day should have set off an alarm: when I first walked in‚ I noticed that I was the

The aim of this exercise is to run 16 laps around the track at Newport‚ with each lap being counted as it was completed with a popsicle stick.

Before I began attending and living at North Greenville University‚ I was a member and a student of the Spartanburg County School District 2. Specifically‚ I was part of the Boiling Springs community.

Over the course of the semester‚ we have seen many examples of how the media can negatively affect how people feel about the criminal justice system. I was exposed to shows like Law and Order and Snapped at a young age. Because I watched a lot of these types of shows at a young age‚ I realized that a job dealing with the criminal justice system was something I was interested in pursuing. I can even remember telling people that I wanted to be a forensic pathologist when I was only in sixth grade.

I attended a session of the Child Abuse Conference on Thursday morning at 8:45 called “JAYC Foundation: Managing the Stress of Traumatic Cases.” The presenters included Dr. Rebecca Bailey‚ Cynthia Psaila‚ and Jaycee Dugard herself. This seminar was all about knowing what you yourself can handle when working a case. It was geared more towards those viewing in the social work field‚ since both of the speakers were in the social work business themselves. A little bit of background on Dr. Rebecca Bailey

Another hypothesis‚ known as the location conflict hypothesis‚ was that
