I am a hybrid. African American and Latina. I am a mix of my grandmothers. Deloris is an African American woman who raised her children with southern pride in North Carolina. She happily spoiled them with fried chicken gizzards, hush puppies, collard greens and tough love. Elizabeth is a Venezuelan woman who fell in love with a Puerto Rican musician named Eusebio. She spoiled all of her children with love, arepas, tostones, arroz con leche and teddy bears. I have never met Deloris, but I have seen pictures. She lives through the many sayings that she preached to my mother, and ultimately what my mother preaches to me. Elizabeth adored oversized earrings, rings, and stuffed animals. On the day of her death I was left Goldie, Blue and a

Attached is a mid-point update on Terry Scholars fulfillment of their commitments with our office. They are sorted by the peer mentors (PM) assigned, which also denotes the Scholars College. The PM’s take notes when they meet for appointments and have brought a few scholars to me when they felt the student needed additional assistance. For the most, the scholars have been great about reaching out if they need assistance or support. We’re working one-on-one with two scholars for ongoing academic mentoring and when we know we have three scholars with children and/or commuting and the mentors have been very flexible with meeting them around the TS schedule, even before or after hours.
In 1788, Israel Ludlow, Matthias Denman, and Robert Patterson bought 800 acres of land from John Cleves Symmes along the Ohio River at the mouth of Licking River. John had purchased 2,000,000 acres of land from the Confederation Congress in 1787 and hoped to become rich by selling parts of the purchase to others. By early January 1789, Israel had planned out the town, dividing it into two types of lots. Israel, Matthias, and Robert provided the first 30 settlers with two free lots, one of each type. The men named the town Losantiville. The town grew slowly at first. Settlers had constructed twenty cabins and one frame house. Eleven families and two dozen single men lived on the land. Eventually it increased in size.

Jeannette Rankin was the first American woman elected to Congress. Jeannette Rankin was born on June 11, 1880. Her father was a rancher, developer and lumber merchant in Montana. Her mother was a teacher. She spent her first years living on the ranch, then moved with the family to Missoula where she attended public school. She was the oldest of eleven children. Jeannette went to Montana State University at Missoula and graduated in 1902 with a bachelor of science degree in biology. She worked as a teacher, seamstress and studied furniture design.

Jeannette Walls is a critically-acclaimed author (of both biographies and works of fiction), despite her unorthodox upbringing. Her parents supported giving their children excessive amounts of freedom, even though they were clearly too young to be taking care of themselves, causing Walls to light herself on fire while cooking herself a meal at only 3 years old. Also, they did not believe in proper treatment, hence why they force Jeannette to leave the hospital, although she is not finished with treatment, and still had third-degree burns all over her body. Considering her father would waste all of their money on cigarettes and alcohol, there were periods of her life where she was homeless, and would have to sleep in a cardboard box, that of which she shared with her three other siblings (and this is if they were lucky; otherwise, they would be forced to sleep in their car). However, a young Jeannette’s father would manipulate her into thinking it was “an adventure,” causing her to get

The Delian League is a modern term for the group of Greek cities that formed an organisation which was referred to in the fifth century BC as ‘The Athenians and their Allies’. The aim of the Delian League was originally to form an alliance for an offensive war against Persia and to liberate the Greeks in Asia Minor from Persian control. Thucydides wrote in The Peloponnesian War, the aim of the League was “to compensate themselves for their losses by ravaging the territory of the King of Persia.” While many factors contributed to the slow transformation of the Delian League into the Athenian Empire, a large part of the change derives from Athens’ leadership of the League and their eventual use of the other states for private matters. The fulfillment of the aim of the Delian League demonstrates the turning point from the League to the empire.
The Delian League was an alliance of eastern Greek city states formed in 478 BCE, to protect the rights and interests of those states against additional attacks from the Persians, following the battles of Marathon, Salamis, and Plataea (Cartlwright, 2016). How successful that alliance was is a matter of perspective and timeline.
Deluca thesis is, "In fact the innumerable opportunities to remake identity are the main draws of these sites and the reason young people-the very demographic struggling toward identity-are turning to virtual sites instead of traditional social groups." The beginning of her essay Deluca compares how society would rather "add" friends from Facebook than avoid awkward face to face communication. Then she states the most important variable in any profile, and that is the profile picture.

I arrived to Delphi and it is amazing. I took a big look around at the beautiful architecture. Small buildings and temples were everywhere. I sought out the oracle in search of Apollos answers. 5.Apollo is the God of reason, light, music, and prophecy. He is a very important and complex Olympian deity. The Oracle did not always belong to Apollo. 6.Apollo slayed the holy serpent at Delphi known as Python and kept the Oracle for himself. Apollo himself does not reveal the prophecies to those who visit. 7.Pythias riddle answers and speak for him. Because I do not live in Delphi, I did not have the option to walk into the Oracle before anyone I wanted. 8.Citizens of Delphi entered first. I drew with several other tourists and I was lucky enough to be granted the opportunity to enter.
