Members of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Incorporated have made everlasting effects on my life. Having mentors in this fraternity allowed me to see how every member feels responsible for improving the communities that they are from. They never hesitate to take the leadership roles that are needed to see change. I would like to become a member of Alpha Phi Alpha because it would allow us to share a brotherhood with great men, it will allow me to make valuable connections with other positive men around the world, and it will help me become the best version of myself. My desire to become a member of this fraternity began my freshmen year after I attended the first informational meeting. At this meeting I was able to speak with members and also learn from them. They each have strong leadership characteristics that allow them to serve on executive boards across campus and they all are high achieving students at Cornell.

Caesar Rodney, the first of the delegation from Delaware, was a native of that state, and was born about the year 1730. His birth-place was Dover. The family, from which he was descended, was of ancient date, and is honorably spoken of in the history of early times. We read of Sir Walter De Rodeney, of Sir George De Rodeney, and Sir Henry De Rodeney, with several others of the same name, even earlier than the year 1234. Sir Richard De Rodeney accompanied the gallant Richard Coeur de Lion in his crusade to the Holy Land, where he fell, while fighting at the siege of Acre.

Kara can’t count the number of times she has said “I think they thought they could say that to me because I’m black.” And she equally cannot count the number of times someone has said back to her “I don’t think that’s it.” Kara is fed up with the micro-aggressions and active denial of her feelings and experiences. So she plans to share them whether we like it or not.

Marisol is one of my sibley buddy and she is a very shy and quiet girl. She's excited everyday to learn new things.

My other buddy is Chris, chris is very stubborn but, but very out going. He’s excited to see me everytime I come. I am very glad i never missed a day at sibley because I know it would disappoint him. He’s always excited to play games but is very hard to get him to want to learn. He loves to play with legos and cars. His favorite color is red and he enjoys holidays when he can spend time with his family and eat lots of food. He loves thing that goes his way and doesn’t like it when it goes someone else's way.

I am a good fit for Phi Delta Chi because I am outgoing and I am always open to new ideas. Everyone comes from different backgrounds with different ways of seeing things and I am someone who is open to listening without making any judgements. I am also someone who wants to learn as much as possible so that I can give back to the community. Joining PDC will give me an opportunity to learn more about the chapter so that each year, I can educate others on what we do and how they can benefit from joining.

Black Psychology can be defined as, “the body of knowledge that is concern with the understanding of African American life and culture” (Kazdin, 2000). Black Psychology seek restore their heritage and bring to light the common experience of African people all over the world. African psychology took a stance against traditional white psychology because it was deeply rooted in racism and exploitation of black people. This can be seen in the intelligence test which made black people seem inferior to white people.

In 2011 a new drug was created by Russian junkies looking for a cheap fix. The drug was named krokadil due to its effects on human skin making it green and scaly. However, one of the effects of prolonged usage of krokadil caused the users skin to fall off, thus being nicknamed the zombie drug.

After their overwhelming success with the miracle pill Pegasus Ind. were granted a much larger fund and someone had the idea of creating an AI that could instantly cure any known disease, this was called Operation Dead Pegasus and it was highly classified.

Penned while living in LA, the singer took a step back after the success of her Platinum hit “Blackout” to embrace her life as an artist. “I went overseas and I decided to do that off my own back…and live it and breathe it basically.

I wanted it to be right and for people to be able to connect to it.”

For nearly 24 years, I have known that I wanted to become a nurse practitioner. During that time, I was newly married, uninsured, and extremely broke. I had gone to a rural health clinic for some much-needed care and was treated with a dignity and respect that I had never experienced before. It was then I knew that I wanted to provide that same type of care for others in need. It was several years later before I had the opportunity to go to nursing school. Once finished, I went to work right away and greatly enjoyed being at the bedside helping those in need, but still had that desire to continue my education. However, I wanted my children to be older and for me to have several years of nursing experience before

She said “We all love each other. This isn’t about documents/ This is blessed.” Most of her songs credited her as the sole genius behind them and her artistic prowess was established. However, she was then sued by New Ark (the creative support team she compiled and taught consisting of a programmer Vada, lyricist Kilo, pianist Tejumold and guitarist Johari). Even though her record label wanted her to settle the lawsuit, “she felt settling would’ve been an admission of guilt and she was very concerned about credit because that’s what eluded her from past success [with the Fugees].” Eventually, the four producers were paid $5 million

She was a global phenomenon. Despite struggling with personal afflictions and addictions, Amy Winehouse proved to be a chart topping musician as well as a revolutionary artist who inspired and helped rise the popularity of many other female musicians. Born in the suburban area of Southgate in London, England, on September 14, 1983, to parents Mitch Winehouse and Janis Winehouse, Amy Jade Winehouse was a British singer-songwriter who was exposed to music at an early age.
