In August of 2014 I traveled to Alajuela‚ Costa Rica‚ with a missions team from my church. Our team’s purpose was to aid the Rice and Beans Ministry. The director of RABMin‚ Fred Curry‚ warned us that not everyone that we would encounter would accept us with open arms. Fred knew that some locals would embrace us and dote on their American visitors‚ on the other hand‚ he knew people that would not. He conveniently failed to mention that some days we might return to base camp with our tail tucked

At the psychic fair I attended two presentations; one that was about sound healing and the other one was about using past regression to realize your true potential. Before the presentations I had a chance to go around to most of the booths and talk to the person who own them and each one had many things to say about the items they were selling but couldn’t prove that the items actually worked. The healing crystals booth tried to convince me that their crystals worked by grabbing a crystal and pointing

My mother‚ specifically‚ has always said I was an exceptionally curious child growing up and still continue to be. Like most children‚ I too had a lot of questions but inquiring about things like culture and philosophy had finally proved to be tiresome for my parents. So‚ I turned to Science hoping to satiate my unwavering need to know. On one hand‚ there was Biology and Physics that greatly enthralled me and then there was craftsmanship in calligraphy that I had so carefully managed to develop

When I hear Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s quote‚ I think about my experience is my AP Calculus course. Up until my senior year of high school‚ I naturally succeeded in my math courses. In my first trimester of AP Calculus‚ I struggled with understanding the course material. But more importantly‚ my grade suffered. My first instinct was to drop the course and enroll in an easier class. I told my mom I had scheduled an appointment with the guidance counselor and I planned to enroll in the course

During my time at the Honors College I have acquired a new perspective on service-learning‚ viewing it as more than just a requirement for a course.

For the Spring 2016 semester‚ I set out to perform

In this week’s class some of the things I would like to further discuss‚ is the presentation and my thoughts about them. When Monica presented I was memorizes by the song and her art. Although I saw the picture prior to class‚ the uses of the sing brought her pictures to life. When Chayne presented I was at first confused what his topic was about‚ but after explaining it was easier for me to better understand the meaning of the video. Therefore‚ I’d enjoy how he connected the video into his journey

The College Board document encourages college counseling and career counseling to be integrated in a program of instruction that starts in elementary school. College and career counseling at elementary school! At first thought this seems too early.
