Farmers were buying expensive, new farm equipment with hopes of large returns, but their increased efficiency saturated the market. Their crop production increased too rapidly, and, to sustain themselves, farmers feverishly began to plant as many crops as possible to make up for falling prices. This over farming ruined the soil of it’s grasses. With no rooting to hold the topsoil, the prevailing winds of the 1930’s swept the soil all over the Midwest and destroyed any chances of farming for a profit. After it all, the need to pay off the debt they acquired while

Hugh O’Brien is typically known for his roles in various movies such as Love has Many Faces and The Game of Death. However, many people do not know about his impact on today’s youth including myself. In 1958, Hugh spent a month in South Africa, where he recognized the need for volunteering and leadership in the teens of America and the world. Upon returning, he created HOBY (Hugh O’Brien Youth Leadership Seminar). HOBY is a weekend long seminar for high school sophomores to develop their character, increase their leadership, and instill the desire to volunteer within their communities. In April of 2014, I attended HOBY as a sophomore representative from Marmaduke High School. I was unaware of what to expect from my weekend at HOBY. However, shortly after my arrival, I realized those three days would forever change my life.

My grandfather was a grocer for 20 years. He first worked at a local grocery store, bagging bags, then he opened his own called Village Grocer, next to a golf course. But the most successful one by far was Prospect Grocery, or “Moons”. With lines around the store during breakfast, lunch, mid afternoon, and night Moons was a thriving family owned sandwich shop and grocery. With my grandmother paying bills and taxes in the back, my grandfather, Julius Daniel Rowe was making sandwiches, cashing payrolls, preparing the soup and cleaning the tables. My mom, aunt, and uncle, also had a play in the business. They all cleaned the tables, waited, and took orders. My grandmother's

I am the son of Wilhelm Böing and Marie Ortmann. I was born in 1881. My family emigrated to the United States from North Rhine-Westphalia way before i was born. My father died of influenza while on a business trip when I was eight, my mother remarried. I personally did not get along with my step-father. I was sent to several boarding schools thought out my life. I went to a prep school to prepare myself for Yale University. I went to Yale and joined the engineering department of the Sheffield Scientific School. After about two years, just before completing the three-year program, I dropped out of Yale. I dropped out to seek my fortune saying later, "I felt the time was ripe to acquire timber." The evergreen state’s population was increasing.The nation demanded lumber for new homes and businesses. I then moved to Washington state and started the Greenwood Timber Company and the Boeing & McCrimmon Company. A few years later, I went to California to witness America 's first International Air Meet at Dominguez Hills. I was going to get to ride in a plane but missed my chance. Just by watching the air show, I was inspired by planes ever since. In 1915 I took several rides in Terah Maroney’s plane. While very excited by this experience, I took lessons at the Glenn L. Martin Flying School in Los Angeles. After those lessons I became a pilot and bought one of Martin’s planes. This is when I made the world look at planes in new ways.

Schopenhauer sought to understand and describe the world and the things of the world. Building off of the ideas of Plato, Descartes, and Kant, however doing away with the aspect of dualism in their theories, he developed the concept of Will and Representation. The world as Will according to Schopenhauer is all that exists for knowledge, only object in relation to subject, perception of a perceiver, in a word, idea. Everything in the world is a representation and everything one sees is a representation in one’s mind. That which forces the Representation into being is the Will.

I used to like to shop. Clothes, food, shoes, books…pretty much anything. I enjoyed wandering my way aimlessly through the mall just seeing what there was to see. A few year ago I began to notice a strange phenomenon that, after extensive experimentation, I am now certain applies only to me. It started out so innocently, just a little “excuse me” followed by hand reaching in front of me to grab a box of Cheerios off the shelf. I would just smile and step to the left or right depending upon which direction the obviously starving shopper was jamming their way in front of me. I mean, if you have to cut in front of someone for a box of Cheerios you must be starving, right? As time passed, it became more apparent to me that this was not just a random occurrence, because no matter where I was SOMEONE would appear. I began to have the belief that perhaps I was magnetic and thereby attracted others to my vicinity. What else could possibly explain how this could happen to me at every shopping trip? As I shared my theory with others, it became clear that they thought I was off my rocker and were certain I was over exaggerating the stories for comic effect. Really? How convenient that back to school shopping time arrived which created the perfect scenario to test my hypothesis once again.
