During this history class extra credit opportunity tour to River Bend State Park I fell like I learned a lot of very interesting information on not only American history, but also Seminole History. I also learned the methods that have been utilized in hopes of preserving the park in its natural state. It is well known that it will not be possible to get the park to be an exact replication of the way it was when the wars were taken place, because the park changed before and after those events, and we do not know the exact changes to make today. But nonetheless, the park is as close to as it was back then as it needs to be, and I thought that it was an amazing thing to be in such a well preserved meaningful location. I had no idea that the Seminoles were such a big factor in American history as well as the fact that they were the only Indian group to never surrender. The wars upon the Seminoles were not necessary, and America should not have taken everything from them, or killed so many of them. The Seminoles could have been a huge advantage towards America if we would have accepted them and learned their tracking skills, war tactics, and healthy living habits, rather than stealing from them and killing them.

It only happens once a year. Our annual fall camping trip to Pawtuckaway State Park, one of the best nature gateways specifically to observe spectacular fall foliage. A lot of people are timid by a thought of taking a camping trip that late in the season at the end of October when the temperature at night falls to smoldering thirty degrees and only a thin layer of a polyester fabric of a tent to keep you sheltered from the cold temperatures, wilderness and the elements. It does seem a little extreme, but I absolutely love it and it’s the event I wait for the whole year. We set on our journey early Saturday morning. The park is situated in the state of New Hampshire, a short drive up north. A vigorous smell of pine trees slipped in through
Starting in the 1800s, many Americans wanted to preserve the beauty of scenic natural wonders. They went to the government and asked them to create something called “national parks.” Responding to these calls, Congress and President Abraham Lincoln put California in charge of taking care of Yosemite during the civil war. The world’s first official national park was Yellowstone when it was created in 1872. Many more parks soon followed. National parks were created “For the benefit and enjoyment of the people” (Theodore Roosevelt). This is true because they have been protected and untouched by humans for anybody to see. There are rules about the use, creation, and conservation of national parks because they should be continued for future
Although there are similarities between Fike Park and Sacred Heart Park, there are also various differences. First, the location of the parks, one being nearer to home, and one farther away, is different. Second, the type of playground equipment has distinct qualities between the parks. Fike Park has a playground that is connected, and built off the ground, unlike that of Sacred Heart Park, which is comprised of various equipment built on the ground. Lastly, there is a gazebo at Fike Park for picnics and other activities, which is not available at Sacred Heart Park. These are some of the ways that the two parks can be contrasted from each other, although they might also be compared in these ways.
With the rising popularity of college sports it’s no wonder that some student-athletes are questioning whether they should be paid or not. Research indicates that paying college athletes isn’t a viable, or necessary, option. Reasons against paying college athletes include, the lack of money colleges have to pay their student-athletes, the plentiful scholarships college athletes are able to receive, the worry that a pay-for-play situation might be created, and the idea that colleges should be used as a place of academics rather than athletics. The first argument people who are for paying college athletes have is that they believe colleges make millions of dollars on their athletic programs, so why can’t some of the millions go towards the athletes
Is campus carry truly effective in decreasing gun violence on campus? Or does it, instead, pose a threat to students and faculty? The campus carry law refers to the policies that allow appropriately licensed students and faculty to carry a handgun on campus as long as the gun is hidden from sight. Several states, including Texas, have passed concealed carry; as a result, polarizing debates have ensued over the effectiveness of the law. Shootings have been occurring at institutions of higher education since the early 20th century (Cobb 35). The first incident of campus shooting occurred at the University of Texas in 1966, by a student named Charles Whitman. Since then, there has been several other university shootings, and they have become more frequent within the last two decades. As a result of this, as well as other shooting incidents such as, Sandy Hook Elementary School, Oregon Mall, and Aurora movie theater, in recent years, the debate over allowing concealed carry on campus has gained a lot of momentum with very conflicting opinions. Proponents of concealed carry consider it to be the best answer to decrease the injuries and casualties of a gun related incident, while opponents consider allowing firearms on campus a threat to the safety of campus constituents. Agreeing with opponents of campus carry, I believe by allowing the concealed carry of firearms on campus, we are potentially compromising the safety of students and faculty, thus universities should push for
