We as a society need to encourage more young girls and women to take an interest in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). In 2009, 48% of the United States workforce was comprised of women while 52% comprised of men (Kimmel et al, 2012). While the slight deviation in percentage seems small, when STEM field jobs were looked at in particular, it was realized that that 76% of the STEM jobs are held be men while women only held on to 24% (Szelényi et al, 2013). In…
By the end of September 26th I was exhausted. That was the day I did my semester project for civics class. I volunteered to staff the Kickfest soccer tournament that is held annually at the middle school. My day included field managing, working the concessions and even refereeing games. I volunteered with my friends Lindsay and Julia. We enjoyed the experience and plan on doing it again next year. We thought this was a really good way to help out a program that is on a budget and can't hire…
more and more fields, until one day, he was the owner of every farm in the village. His neighbors, friends, and relatives did not know what to do, as the only way to Aongus’ heart was money. He considered himself to be king of the village, and disregarded any advice he was given. He punished those who disagreed with him by leaving them and their families without any source food. Those who disobeyed his orders were brutally beaten and forced to work in inhumane conditions in Aongus’ fields. For…
The words that are typed on this paper do not begin to describe the experience or the feeling in which I encountered today. Describing the place and all its elements would not be enough. La Ventana De Los Cielos is place outside of the norm. One could say, it’s a place of no judgment, where people are free. I knew I was going to have a great day even before I we got inside the farm. The decoration of the entire on the gate was breath. There were different quotes all over the farm. My farm quote…

gradient manner instead of the stark dichromatic relationship that we originally inferred. For example, three pieces of poetic work published by separate authors offer the readers an insightful dialogue between the differing interpretations of the reality of working-class laborers in the eighteenth century. When viewing the works individually, each author presents their story based on their own personal beliefs and biases. Although through the comparison of these biases, the readers gain a…
Is Billy insane or sane? While to some he may seem completely out of his mind. A strange character that happens to be at the wrong place, at the wrong time. Others may see him as a man that knows about the cruelty of reality. One that has experienced the complexity of war, been torn apart by his inner morality and is trying to use his imagination, by making up his own race of Tralfmadorians, as an escape route from the world and judgement. However can Billy really escape from being…
Athletes are constantly being asked which they prefer: artificial turf or natural grass. They want the ideal playing surface to compete on, which was the logic behind inventing artificial grass, but what people don’t know are the disadvantages that are associated with artificial grass. After researching the downsides to turf, I read about a study that states that seventy-one percent of injuries on turf are traumatic injuries and the other 29% are for overuse injuries. This includes both…

The same goes for the possible careers, though the list itself names fewer specific job opportunities than general fields of expertise. In addition to this, I conducted research on each major and career in order to find the requirements for the individual fields. These include age limits, physical requirements, and course requirements. Despite the difficulties,…
