First Semster Research Paper

Mark Twain once said, "The secret of getting ahead is getting started". Success is a major part in my life. My goal one day is to succeed in life. I love math and being creative. I want to be an architect when I graduate college. If I have spare time, I'm usually hanging out with my family, going on vacation, or fishing. I would count family time as a major success.

I graduated high school from Los Angeles Technology Center. My teacher thought I was going to drop out for being the first generation of immigrants enrolled in high school. They assumed my last stop of education would be attending continuation school. I was receiving many negative comments mostly stereotypes from my teacher, classmates and administrators. I did not know how to deal with it and had no psychological help. My counselor told me there was no point in being in continuation school. My classmates would tell me I was going to have a lot of kids and live on welfare. Negative comments like these brought my self esteem down. I was able to prove them wrong and graduated high school and said the pledge of allegiance.

How I join the Army National Guard, was kind of crazy My friend name Rico campbell had told me he was about to join the Army National Guard and they were offering a $20,000 sign on bonus.

At that time my heart dropped out of my body.

Every city has that one basketball game that everyone goes to. The game that brings the crowd to their feet. That one game that brings thousands of people to the audience, and leave them with something to talk about for the remainder of their lives. Saginaw High vs Arthur Hill boys basketball game is filled with people from all over the state, filled with future NBA players and lots of drama. Saginaw High is located in the poorest and the most dangerous parts of Saginaw,Mi. Just imagine a neighborhood with only three houses on each block and sounds like Fourth of July firecrackers going off every night knowing someone just died. So every year, Saginaw

“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” This quote from Nelson Mandela always clicked with me, because while many things can change the world, education is always at the root of it. The Ottawa County Early College program is an opportunity for me to practice with this essential tool. I feel that I am a good fit for the program because I have passion for my studies, am proactive in them, and I flourish under challenge. This amazing program excites me because it will help me to achieve my overall goal for my education; to positively impact the world. While I have many different ideas with what I want to do with my education, Early College will allow me to explore many different paths within a budget I

Melbourne is located in the south-eastern part of mainland Australia, within the state of Victoria. Geologically, it is built on the confluence of Quaternary lava flows to the west, Silurian mudstones to the east, and Holocene sand accumulation to the southeast along Port Phillip. The southeastern suburbs are situated on the Selwyn fault which transects Mount Martha and Cranbourne.

During my first day in DTD, and after visiting the NCO Heritage and Education Center, I came up with an idea that could be a little bit crazy but some students from this class can be part of our NCO history.

Selim I also known as “The Grim” was the third son born to Bayezid II, he came into power by getting rid of his father. Selim began to wage war on other Muslim states because he believed that the other Muslim states were condoning heresy. Selim I first killed thousands of Shia Muslim people before he started a war with the Persian Shia king named Isma’il. Selim I and his army also began to move towards Mesopotamia and finally in 1514 Selim’s army conquered the Safavid army. This was easy for Selim I because his army was equipped with muskets and weapons such as guns, while the Safavid army had older weapons like the bow and arrow, blades, and spears. After defeating the Safavid army he then moved on to start a war with the Mameluk leaders that

I feel that UA early college would benefit me greatly as I head into my college career. Getting a college course under my belt before getting to college would provide numerous benefits. One of the benefits would be getting the feel for what a college course is like. As many people know, college provides a substantial change in life for the upcoming freshman. Getting some experience before actually getting there is like a football tem watching film, it provides a good amount of background knowledge of what they are about to get into. A different benefit, which is certainly one of the more obvious ones, is the hours that I would get out of the way. Getting a class out of the way would give me more time to do extra-curricular activities. As of

If breakfast was “ham and eggs”, are you the chicken or the pig? This analogy is asking how committed you actually are to something. In this situation, which animal is more committed to the breakfast? The chicken is able to provide the eggs, but for the pig to provide ham, it would have to give up it’s life. The chicken gives a little at a time here and there, but the pig gives everything that he could possibly have. If you are the chicken at something in your life, it means that you are not fully committed. But if you are the pig, it means you are willing to put everything on the line, and give it your all to make sure your commitment is done the right way.

More importantly, it is a portrait of Sultan Khan, the local hero who sold books banned by the authorities, risking his life to preserve Afghanistan’s literary heritage and to fight for liberal ideals. Seierstad, however, reveals him as a tyrant who mercilessly oppresses his own family, subjugating his wives and denying education to his

The STAAR exam is the exams that determines how well you understood the material you have picked up throughout the school year. The algebra and biology exams are no exceptions. Although they may seem like a hassle the are the end of course exams. I think that they should determine whether you belong in Honor courses, AP/pre-AP, Regular education, or Special education. In some occasions students fail and they won’t be on track for graduation ,but I think otherwise. I think that the student should be given a second chance and if still don’t succeed then they should be re-classified, put in a lower level class, and put in remedial class. If the effort and work isn’t put in then it’s their own fault. The second chance was offered and they

The First Folio: The Book that gave us Shakespeare is held at the Patricia & Phillip Frost Art Museum. The First Folio is the first collection of Shakespeare’s plays to be published. The first folio contains two large books, posters on the wall, and a television. The book itself is four hundred years old. Two hundred and thirty versions of the book still exist today, but all of them are different in some way from one another. There are more folios in America than there are in England. In the United Kingdom there is an estimate of 30- 40 folios. We have more than a hundred folios here in the United States alone. The English department as well as others wanted to bring the First Folio to FIU because they love Shakespeare and felt it was important for everyone, especially people in South Florida to see it and experience it. They wanted a place where people can come and have a conversation about Shakespeare and what it means in Miami today. The Folger Shakespeare Library decided to send a folio of Shakespeare to each state for one month. They held a competition against all the universities in South Florida and FIU happened to win it bringing the only First Folio here in South Florida to our school.

Do you know the reference of ham and eggs? If so, are you the chicken or the pig? The reference of ham and eggs is mainly about commitment. The eggs represent the chicken and the ham represents the pig. Who commits more to the breakfast? The chicken can give eggs anytime, but the pig can only give ham once. The pig commits more to the breakfast than the chicken, do you commit to something?
