Anteaters

Most adolescents face the same obstacles in life and experience similar difficulties. Friends in childhood are primarily found at “school” (Murray 2009). This is because they

Among contemporary high school students, a commonly-repeated idea is that they have the “same levels of anxiety as mental patients from the 1960s.” While this vague quote is from an unknown source, and can be construed as somewhat prejudicial, it is fairly accurate in terms of sentiment. Although some high schools work to create a more positive, constructive environment for students, there are several elements inherent to these schools that contribute heavily to feelings of inferiority, such as those Simone de Beauvoir acknowledges in the statement “when an individual is kept in a situation of inferiority, the fact is that [they] do become inferior.” This tends to have a profound impact on students’ mental health, especially those who are members of marginalized groups, who

Colleges have always encouraged their students to live on campus, especially freshman. This is for the reason that living on campus allows student to encounter new cultures, participate in organizations, and reach academic heights. For example, Tarleton State University states that “Living on campus will enable [the student] to interact with diverse people enriching [their] educational experience and will provide convenient access to professors and academic resources the campus offers. In addition, on-campus students are more likely to become and stay involved in clubs and organizations” (Tarleton State University, 2016). Along with the notion that students residing on campus are likely to reach academic heights, a study conducted at the University of North Dakota during the fall semester of 1966-1967

As I went through the research process for this paper I conducted many interviews with former classmates who are now either attending a four-year university or a local community college. The original intent was to find out their reasons for attending the institution they chose to attend. As I accumulated information I began to see a glaring trend in the relationship between the social group the individual was a member of and the college they ended up attending. This then drove me to further examine the influencing factors in these students’ social lives, in a hope of identifying the degree to which they are influenced by each other. Thus, the first part of the paper explores

What makes this purple and white community so strong is a common goal to uphold the mission of the university. A mission that promotes positive growth in students so that they may learn to become responsible adults who fill their lives with meaning, as they learn to grow in acceptance of others. My time spent at Mount Union thus far has been filled with opportunities which have broadened my perspective of the world around me. I have learned to become flexible by becoming open to new

Social bonds consist of a stable family life (Schoon &Bynner, 2003), community resources (Saleebey, 2001), friends who share academic success (Kenney et al., 2002). A point that is highlighted in multiple pieces of research (Carbonell et al, 2002; Saleebey, 2001; O’Grady & Metz, 1987; Schoon & Bynner, 2003; McElwee, 2007) is the importance of having a caring adult and/or social supports in a child’s life whether it’s a family member, teacher, or someone in their community. This kind of support is invaluable as “resiliency almost always occur[s] within the confines of a personal, friendly, supportive, and dialogical relationship” (Saleebey, 2001, pg.

Anteaters are edentates. Edentates are animals that do not have teeth. Anteaters do not eat apples, but they eat about 30,000 ants and terminates a day. The anteater uses its large sharp claws to rip open an anthill or termite mound. Then he uses a very long, sticky tongue to catch them. Anteaters walk on their knuckles so their long claws don’t hurt them. A baby anteater is called a pup and rides on its mom’s back for about a year. When an anteater feels threatened, it will stand on its hind legs, hold its arms out wide and show its claws. Can you stand up tall, hold out your arms and spread your fingers to make yourself as big and scary?

Many colleges set themselves apart whenever they adopt different sports and the school spirit that goes along with it. Mottos, school colors, and a mascot unite the students and embody the school’s spirit. When a student exhibits pride in their school they are more likely stay in school longer, get better grades, and become alumni. With all these benefits it is hard to see why Madisonville community college does not have sports or school spirit. Dr. Jay Parrent, dean of student affairs, has assigned my group to find out if school should adopt a motto, school colors, and a mascot. We propose that Madisonville Community College adopt a school motto, school colors, and a mascot which would increase

In 2016 the honeybee's population decrease by 33%. Honeybees produce honey and contribute to many of our foods. Each year there is a population that is lost. Some researchers claim that humans are involved in the declining in the population. The three main reasons that cause the decline in population, that are not directly related to humans are colony collapse disorder, varroa mites, and the climate change.

‘Non-traditional’ students chose a post-1994 university because of its student body. They were attracted to the institution due to its mature students, the ethnic diversity, and the university was not considered as an elite institution. The existence of a significant number of other ‘non-traditional’ students did certainly give them a greater sense of belonging. However, the conception of ‘otherness’ still does not diminish when the students have participated in the university.

“After all, a college campus is full of people investing a sense of “us” and a sense of “them,” school spirit is important because it gives us a sense of belonging and being a part of something bigger,” (David Berreby). David is convinced that there is a structure of belonging in an individual state of self-actualization. He feels that

The reason there were ants in the kitchen and classroom was because of the refrigerator. The refrigerator was unacceptably, filthy, with some type of dry, yet sticky substance. There were dead ants in bottom of the refrigerator enmeshed in the substance. When the terminator came to treat for the ants, he followed the trail from the outside classroom door, where the ants were, along the wall of the classroom, into the hallway, to the kitchen, along the floor board of the kitchen, into the refrigerator.

There are so many church folks in this present day as never before. These church folks that come to church on Easter Sunday, Thanksgiving maybe, Christmas, hum let’s think about what day it falls on, New Year’s Eve Celebration and the most attended Sunday service along with Easter; Mother’s Day. The church folks forget about Father’s Day. If there is no father, then there will be no you, Amen.

The stereotypical ”Zombie Ant” , most typically found in a rain forest and or farm climate, are not the flesh tearing type of zombie you most likely had in mind, instead, fungal-spreading mind controlled ants, taken over by a fungal parasite. And these ants, are far from usual. There is a cycling, almost endless process, repeated in three stages. The process and fungus is called Ophiocordyceps Unilateralis.
