Christopher Johnson Mccandless, an intelligent young man, dies while trying to live in Alaska; by choice. The death of Mccandless was a controversial matter: people argued their thoughts on Mccandless’ story, and who's to blame for Mccandless' death. Some say it’s Mccandless’ own stupidity, or his honorable seek for thrill. Others say it’s his parents’ horrible way of raising him, or nature’s unforeseen acts.

They have Girl Scout troops and branches all over the United States. There are also similar programs all over the world, for example, there are Girl Guides in Europe. I think that Girl Scouts has a big impact on the world. According to GSHH, “Girl Scouts are more likely than non-Girl Scouts to embrace new experiences and overcome failure, to self-identify as leaders and take on leadership roles, to practice resiliency and persist through challenges, and have stronger female networks of all ages, just to name a few.” Girl Scouts creates strong girl leaders, which is what we need. We need to teach young girls that they are just important as any other person or gender. Girl Scouts also teaches girls to clean up after themselves and make the world a better place, and this will have a big impact on years to come as these young leaders grow up and help the world improve. According to the WAGGGS official website, “The World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts reaches 10 million girls and young women in 146 countries across our five regions.”. With 10 million girls who are taught leadership skills, Girl Scouts will not only has a big impact on large communities such as the United States, but will have effects on the world by empowering young
I immediately fell in love with the act of helping people and since I’ve first joined the organization I have visited nursing homes during Christmas time, collected donations for a hospital, and blazed a trail for my community. During my high school career, my fellow troop members and I organized a collection of toiletries for DASI, the women’s domestic abuse shelter in Newton as a way to take action. Being a Girl Scout taught me the importance of helping people and my experiences have inspired me to begin working my Gold Award, the highest level of achievement in Girl
Jeff Karpell was a standout outfielder for the Fairleigh Dickinson baseball program. His freshman campaign he posted the longest hit streak by reaching base safely in seven consecutive games. Karpell also led all freshmen in hitting with a .313 batting average. Karpell really stood out as a sophomore earning All-Northeast Conference honors with a .337 average, which put him 3rd on the team and 9th in the NEC. During his senior season Karpell threw out 9 base runners, which is good enough to put him first for most single season outfield assists.

Along with his single season achievements Karpell is also 7th in career batting average (.343), 7th in at bats (571), 5th in hits (196), 3rd in triples (9), and 2nd in RBIs (145).

Throughout high school I have grown as an athlete and person. I have loved playing sports my whole life, but I have learned to love giving back to the community and youth even more. Although playing sports have taken me across the country and also brought much success and joy to me, nothing brings more pleasure than passing my skills and knowledge on to the youth here in Knappa.
Anchorage, Alaska- The Alaska Grizzlies delighted fans by selecting Fairbanks University football star, Jeff Knutson last night in the first round of the NFL draft.

A little over two years ago Colin Kapernick the free agent quarterback whom once held a starting position as the quarterback for the San Francisco Forty-Niners began kneeling on one knee during the National Anthem played prior to the kickoff of every game. His reason in taking such measure for doing what he was doing was due to the injustice that was carried out on the way that Black American males have been treated in the United States of America. Ever since the slaying of unarmed Michael Brown, a young black male whom was gunned down whilst being unarmed in Ferguson, Missouri by a white police officer, no charges were filed. Even so following the death of Brown there has been numerous amounts of black males in America that were gunned down
Richard Kuklinski was born on April 11, 1935 in Jersey City, New Jersey. He was raised in an abusive environment. His father would beat him for no reason at all and all he ever knew was hate because that is all he’s ever known. His father Stanley would beat him with an iron rod and lock him in the basement for hours or days without food. Stanley went so far one night that he killed Richard’s younger brother due to hitting him in the head. His father then abandoned the family when Richard was 16. I believe his upbringing is a large contributing factor of him becoming a serial killer.
