Everyday a different crime is committed; however, the reason or motive behind it is not always understood. Over the years, theories were developed to explain why certain crime occurs. For example, Andrea Yates was a mother of 5 who drowned her children due to a mental illness she endured, but there are many theories that play a vital role in explaining why she committed this crime. The theories that will be discussed throughout this paper are the Biosocial Trait Theory and the General Strain Theory.

Hip hop is a culture and lifestyle that is 95% male dominated, yet without the contribution of women in the early stages of its birth, rap would not be the multi-billion dollar industry it is today. One of the most major contributors to this new scene would most definitely be Sylvia Robinson, otherwise known as the grandmother of hip hop. This woman, the founder of Sugar Hill Records, released the first official rap song called “Rapper’s Delight”. The song was so successful that it actually made it on the billboard charts at #36. It was also rated #14 on the R&B charts for two weeks straight. Sylvia Robinson was so experienced that she was able to find an unknown individual accompanied by two friends, create the Sugarhill Gang and turn them into one of the biggest hip hop groups out there. Without Robinson’s vision for rap and commercial elements implemented within, this hip hop culture would not have flourished the way it did in 1979. As if that accomplishment on its own was not good enough, her record label released multiple songs by Grandmaster Flash and The Furious Five. Even though Grandmaster Flash eventually leaves her record label, this incredible business woman was able to continue to pursue her vision without the leader of the bunch. She later creates a new centre of attention for the group, known as Grandmaster Melle Mel and continues with success. Thus, it is evident that this woman provided

Ms. Zola was assigned to Roma Elementary, one of six elementary schools in the district. There were two middle schools and two high schools.

My contribution to NYC public schools children in education has been extensive. I first began working in NYC public schools as a speech pathologist in 1980. I would examine expressive and receptive language skills of children and through task analyses develop strategies of language acquisition. In short, I was able to gets students to improve their reading and writing skills in order to master grade level competencies.

I worked in coordinating summer programs at George Westinghouse Vocational High School in 1986. I worked hand in hand with the principal to build community partners for our school which offered twelve or more trade programs and internships for students ranging form optical to jewelry making. In 1989, I was selected to serve as Assistant Principal of Special Education at Automotive High School, with Principal Steve Gilbert, who has since passed away. Principal Gilbert much like Principal Rapport was my mentors in leadership within the educational arena. With the support of Principal Gilbert, I was able to go to a Harvard Graduate School of Education and participate in a Summer Seminar in 1995. This was the season of “Inclusion in Schools”. Principal Gilbert recommended me for a program, Assistant Principal to Principal Program

Friends, family and faith are all necessities of life, but what humans need the most is the ability to make the right choices. On September 11 2001, Lauren Manning’s life was changed forever. Though previously she had learned the importance of perseverance and faith, on that day, she finally knew what it meant and how truly important it was.
