Harvey Mudd Research Paper

The Dred Scott Decision of 1857 ruled that African-Americans, even ones who were not enslaved, were not protected under The Constitution and could never be citizens. This brings up questions that will be answered in this paper. Should slaves be American citizens? Is it morally correct for one to own another human? Does the Dred Scott decision contradict The Declaration of Independence which states that every man is created equal?

What field/program are you studying at Guilford Technical College and why did you choose it?

I decided to attend North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University because I wanted a HBCU experience. For most my life, I was surrounded by diversity. The schools I attended had a healthy balance of students from all races. Even though that was good I wanted a change of environment. Throughout high school I was taught the bare minimum of black history. Each year, the great deeds of Martin Luther King Jr., Harriet Tubman, and Rosa Parks were drilled into my head. When I toured A&T they provided me with information on black history that I was not even aware of. After the tour, I made my decision to attend A&T and gain more knowledge. When I came to college the biggest challenge I faced was time management.

I found many entries online from ivy league students who shared their campus experiences. The entries indicated that many of their students are stressed, constantly tired and in poor health due to stress of the academic standards. Their students are used to easy A’s, but in the ivy league institutions, they are loaded with work and cannot deal with the unacceptable grades. I experienced that situation when I attended the Oklahoma School of Science and Mathematics, a boarding school for juniors and seniors that provide college-level classes. I was on antidepressants and went to therapy in an attempt to cope with the taxing environment. I did not want to go through that feeling again at Cornell. I hoped for the best as I investigated the lifestyle of OSU-IT. I scheduled a campus tour and instantly felt at home. It is a small college in a rural town, and the environment felt warm. Even though the school is academically challenging, the school provides relaxation areas and counseling. Even though I did not visit Cornell, I knew from past research that the school did not provide such comfort as

I would love to attend Wake STEM Early College High School because I believe it will give me a head start on my learning after the high school level. Your program will improve my college experience and save thousands of dollars in college tuition by giving me an associates degree and high school diploma upon graduation. I am also exceedingly interested in a career in science or mathematics. I have always been focused on learning science and math because it is something I love to do and I can have a successful career in the future by using those skills. I understand that attending this prestigious school will require a certain level of maturity and willingness to work hard. As an 8th grader at West Lake Middle School, I am a member of the National

The south for a good while was always fond of using slavery as a cheap source of work. The increase in the number of slaves was when John Rolfe became one of the first to cultivate tobacco in the so called “New World back then in the 17th century. There was good money to be made about the amount of labor that went into the tobacco cultivation was harch, hence why slaves were used. Ever since then, it is obvious to note that slaves dominated the aspect of southern life. Whether that be economically, socially or politically, slaves played an important role in each category.

Do you think if Eldred got indoor sport fields they would profit the youth and Eldred? Yes, because a lot of people would use them, and they would bring in some money! The indoor sports fields would let kids practice all year, they could earn money for the Otto-Eldred High School and the town of Eldred, and they could help our school sports programs. Also having indoor fields could keep kids active during any season and during any weather. Having indoor baseball, softball, and football fields in Eldred could help people be active and participate in activities.

Dave Rose is under a lot of fire, of which for those not BYU fans or in that state of Utah this makes no sense. Dave Rose is working on another 20+ season and has seen BYU to either the NCAA’s or NIT play for the past couple of years now. No, it is not the final 4 that we all dream of, and not that dream is not happening every year like some of us think (irrationally I might add) it should. Still with all of this there are some saying that it may be time to move on. Move on from the guy who found you Jimmer, who put BYU basketball back in the national spotlight, move on from a guy who has dedicated his time and probably his health to BYU.

Only May 30 1969, sixteen-year-old David Milgaard was falsely convicted for the murder of Gail Miller. He was sentenced a life imprisonment for someone else’s crime. His friends turning on him due to drugs, police failing to look into statements and lies for money all lead to Milgaard being sentenced to a life imprisonment.

When Roger Woodward was 7 years old he went on a boat for the first time in his  life. His family was celebrating his 17 year old sister’s birthday with a tour of niagara falls by boat. Rogers mother’s one condition about this trip was that he wore a life jacket because roger did not know how to swim. In not long roger would be falling down the falls. The day was perfect for boating it was warm and  the waters were calm. The owner of the boat jim honeycutt let roger steer the boat. They were heading toward sandbar and on the way there the mortar of the boat hit a rock. Honeycutt cut the engine after hitting the rock. They were drifting toward the falls. For some reason Honeycutt had no anchor so he was trying to paddle the other way but the

This check was one of numerous checks paid by the Committee to Re-Elect The President and discovered to be cashed due to of Gordon Liddy, cheif of the comittee to re-elect the presedent.

The civil war had been won. “ the victorious North had a celebration (Swanson 5)” President Abraham Lincoln had given a 701 word speech. Nearly all were happy except for John Wilkes Booth, who was furious. He had once plotted to kidnap Lincoln, now he was trying to murder him. On Good Friday morning, April 14, 1865 ( Swanson 9), at Ford’s Theater, Booth had snuck into the president’s box and had shot him with a fatal blow (Swanson 39). As he was escaping into the country, he had encountered an old friend named Doctor Samuel A. Mudd (Swanson 96), who had brought him in for hospitality. He had no knowledge of Booth assassinating President Lincoln. Eventually, Doctor Mudd was sentenced to life in prison for helping John Wilkes Booth. Doctor Samuel A. Mudd should not have been sentenced to life in prison, because he had simply helped John Wilkes Booth without

Before I red the nutrtion chapter, specifically the MyPyramid section, I never payed much attention to the food pryamid. I was not aware as to how in depth the illistration was. I believe the pryamid is a great outine for a healthy diet. If people need guidance as to how to lead a healthier lifestyle, the pryamid is the perfect example. It not only explains how much of each food group you should eat, but also explains excercising, which I believe is just as important. Although I do think the pryamid is a good guide for people who may not know a lot about diets, I tend to eat more proteins and fruits than reccomended. As an athlete I find I need more proteins to keep my energy level high. I also drink a lot of water.
