Chabelo Have you ever had a pet that was almost like your friend or another family member? Well I have had one and it was a mini Labrador named Chabelo. I know you are probably asking why Chabelo? Some of you know that Chabelo is a Mexican show host that is really old and big and dresses up like it kid. Well my dog had a medium sized body and looked like he was a baby lab but a really big one that’s why we named him Chabelo. Chabelo will always have a place in my heart. Chabelo was playful,…

As I walked into the stadium, the smell of hotdogs and popcorn filled the air. It was a familiar setting. A setting I had grown to know very well because my dad loved baseball. The red white and blue colors were everywhere as fans came from every direction into the stadium. My dad and I walked to the outfield where the opposing team was warming up for the game. Turner Field in Atlanta was not only home of the Braves, but a home to many baseball fans. The concessions and amenities for the fans,…

of mine; why do we keep coming back to Cedar Point. Why do we love to be thrilled on a roller coaster? Annoying gives a reasonable and possible explanation for this. This source is unlike any of the others, not only does it not talk about amusement parks as a whole but it doesn’t discuss family leisure either. It…

Step X: “You are here.” I am a sophomore at the college of CSB/SJU. I am a nursing student and take school very seriously. I think that being a nursing student takes dedication and commitment, which was important for me to learn in my first year of college. My concerns are centered around my future, family and friends. I believe that my concerns are very self centered because of the point of my life that I am in. I am trying to find out who I am and where I belong in the world. My interests are…

A life of “little bets” As I brainstormed to determine the feedback direction for Module 1, a single thought kept creeping in my head: “Wow, this was like when I did blank”. I have to admit, = my entire life has been a series of “Little Bets”, even prior to my birth. This may sound odd, but truly I have a life that is stranger than fiction;the following will entail how my life, Rebecca Anniversary Merry-Pruss has been a trail of “little bets”. I remember my mother telling me about her…

amusement parks have multiple rides, and these rides are what attract park goers. So why is it that people are attracted to roller coasters? The answer isn’t clear, but it could be that there is a certain amount of risk involved, the adrenaline rush is like no other, it brings families together and they are incredibly safe. When roller coasters were still a new phenomenon, their safety was questioned by consumers and politicians alike. Consumers were quick to blame the manufacturers, parks…

In a country that promotes the mantra, “United we Stand”, it is actually quite easy to feel like an outsider. It seems as though WASPS control our world and all those who don’t fall into that category lack the means to change politics, society, or the economy. Throughout America’s history African Americans, Ethnics, Poor people, gay people, and women have struggled as outsiders. On the other hand, these groups have been able to gather themselves and assert their own self-image in culture as well…

There were many times in history when breaking the law has been justified. Great men like Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King broke the law and changed the world to a better one. However, there are numerous philosophers that have argued that because it involves breaking the law, civil disobedience needs special justification. In this paper I will argue how an act of civil disobedience would be valid when a person goes against their country’s laws to do the right thing. First I will discuss…

Martin Luther King Jr.’s speech is one that goes down in the history books because of the impact that it made on the culture in that day. During 1963 racism was rampant, even though you could no longer own slaves the fact was that blacks were being treated still as less than human. King came from a perspective that he just wanted equality between races, it did not matter what color you were, religion, where you were from because in God’s eyes we were all created equal. At the time in history…
