decision that I am considering is where I am going to live after I graduate college with my Masters in athletic training. The values that I am looking for in the city I am going to move to are a good starting salary for my job, the climate of the city, job availability, how high the crime rates for that city are, how many things that city has to offer for you to do, and proximity to a big city. The places that I am considering for where I am going to live are Charlottesville Virginia, Pittsburgh Pennsylvania
I was born in Long Branch, New Jersey and grew up in Middletown, New Jersey. I have an older brother and am lucky enough to have a twin sister as well. My dad was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York and my mom was born in Pittsburgh. Very early in my childhood, I found a great passion for playing sports. I started playing baseball, T-ball to be exact, as early as 4 years old. I played other sports growing up including soccer and basketball, however, baseball seemed to be the sport that interested
For over half a century the Pittsburgh region was the largest concentration of steel making in the world. Its collapse was spectacular. The mill towns strung along the Monongahela Valley have now suffered forty years of decline. Much of their shabby infrastructure and buildings (at best homely even in their prime) has decayed, most of their population has fled to the metropolitan suburbs or left the region, and those that remain, for the most part poor, struggle or live off memories. Regeneration
Henry Clay Frick In this paper I am going to talk about how Henry Clay Frick was an important man to our history and some things that he contributed. Not only was he a successful industrialist, but an art patron and a philanthropist. He was one of the most important people that helped put Pittsburgh on the map.

Artists who choose the streets as their gallery are often doing so from a preference to communicate directly with the public at large, free from perceived confines of the formal art world. Street artists sometimes present socially relevant content infused with esthetic value, to attract attention to a cause or as a form of "art provocation". Common variants
sociologically. I lived in Erie, Pennsylvania for most of elementary schooling. I grew up in a small, mainly white, suburban town and went to the local public school. Growing up, my family did not have that much money, raised by a single mother who received monthly child support, and had an associates degree in MRI technology. I lived in a small house, but to the left of my house, there were upper-class houses and to the right down the street from my house, there was a trailer park. The type of economic
on my life I can honestly, I had rough. Growing up with an abusive father and an alcoholic mother wasn't the best; but what can I say Allison Kristen Wright and Thomas Joe Wright had one hell of a daughter about 35 years ago. Standing a spectacular five feet tall, 120 pounds I am one feisty woman. Although a fan of the pants suit, one might see me in m signature black dress and heels. Black is my favorite color because it compliments my blue eyes and bold attitude. Through the seasons I stick to this
Sample Business Plan This is a sample business plan that I completed by myself for a Entrepreneur class in my Senior year of high school. Unlike most students, I was really excited to plan and organize my ideas so my plan ended up being much longer then expected. All the numbers I used were, for the most part, actual prices and I spend hours alone just number crunching. It was worth it in the end when I had my final copy! I apologize in advance for awkward spacing, numbering, and indents. Some things
a true legend from the day he was born in 1919. Baseball had it all in the first half of the 1900’s, fans filled the stadiums day after day, even during the war times. There was a big-name player on almost every team, children and adults admired these professional baseball players.

Professional seers, such as Richard Naisbitt and Alvin Toffler, have argued that information technology is rapidly making the need for faceto- face contact juid cities obsolete.
