King Jr's Accomplishments

In 1957, Lord Darnley was murdered and Queen Mary was forced to renounce her throne. He made her son King of Scotland. He became the official King of Scotland when he was one year old. James was a devout scholar who studied the English language. The kingdom was strong and centralized during his rule, and he eventually married Anne of Denmark. He was a devout Protestant, and fought against the Puritans who tried to get rid of Roman practices in the church. He was not liked much, because of favoritism, and his schemes to get an alliance with Spain. During his rule, William Ruthven, one of the leaders of the Church of Scotland, kidnapped James, and held him captive for almost a year. When James finally escaped, he did not take any more chances, and executed William. With Queen Elizabeth the First aging, James realized that he had the highest chance of becoming the King. The only problem was that his mother, Mary, was still in live. She was prosecuted, and then executed. Once Elizabeth died, we move onto the chapter of King James’ life.

Most knew him as a leader. At the center of a revolution he made his mark. The start of a change began slowly. Those around the world learned of the controversy. His accomplishment led to the presidency of a certain college.

While reading “Becoming a Learner” by Matthew L. Sanders, I found many interesting points on college education that I have never really focused on. One of my favorite statements that Sanders makes is that “who you are still matters more than what you can do because it speaks to your long term potential for success.” I thought this was very interesting and inspiring because it is encouraging the reader to focus on developing themselves rather than some impractical skills. I also thought it was really cool when Sanders made the point that “it’s not only what you do that counts; it’s also how you do it.” I thought that this quote is relatable on so many different levels, especially in the aspect of college. Sometimes you can take the easy way

When I attended my first lecture in college, my instructor emphasized that a passing grade was important but it was not important if we finish the semester without actually learning something. This statement shocked me, many instructors in my high school would have said the total opposite. For this and many reason I decided to attend college. College gives students a sense of responsibility that is precisely dependent on their choices. Professors and staff emphasize that the reason why we attend our lectures and courses is to learn rather than just get a passing

Growing up Martin Luther King. Jr had a happy middle class life, but even with all of this he still noticed social problems. His father was a respected preacher, his mother was a college-educated musician, and his grandmother, who lived with them, was extremely fond of him. He was also close to his older sister and younger brother, who started college at fifteen.

I find Thomas King very interesting for two reasons: his early life and his novels. Looking at his early life, I could not imagine King becoming one of the finest writers in North America. There was no indication that King was interested in literature as he worked as craps dealer and bank teller instead of something related to art after failing first year of university. Failing university is not as terrifying as I thought it would be because of King’s achievement. Furthermore, before reading King’s biography, I thought he was aboriginal since he tells the stories of native people flawlessly. However, after looking at his biography, King’s ability to precisely describe the lives of aboriginal surprises me. I think that King non aboriginal status

Billie Jean King is a women of many talents and much accomplishments, “I have to things my own way- sums up Billie Jean King’s philosophy of life as well as her relationship to feminism” (Ware 150). In 2006 the United States Tennis Association renamed its Flushing facility, the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in honor of King’s wide spread accomplishments. The Flushing facility is most well known for hosting the U.S. open every year. This was a huge honor, but even more impressive was when Billie Jean King was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom. The Presidential Medal of Freedom is the highest civilian award in the United States; it recognizes those people who have made a significant contribution to history. Billie Jean King

Not everyone is born a leader. Some are pushed into it due to unfortunate circumstances, while others step up to the plate in order to make a radical transformation. It takes a true leader to be able to surmount obstacles that seem to transcend his or her strength in order to bring about change to his or her community. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was one of those leaders. He was undoubtedly the leading Civil Rights leader during his time, inspiring African Americans all across the country to fight their way through white oppression using non-violent means.

In Atlanta, Georgia, Martin Luther King Jr. joyfully walks to church with his family. His father, a minister, complements how well he is doing in school. From an early age he was influenced by religious aspects in his community and this is what encouraged him to become a leader through his peers. Martin begins to daydream about his future, knowing he will be able to make a difference in whatever he choses to do. He knew that there would be challenges in whatever he chose to do, but he just has to “keep moving foward” no matter what the obstacles he faced.

Time after time you hear about going to college; whether at work, family, friends, and even when you are in high school you might have been repeatedly told of how it can benefit you in the long run in regards to your future. They say a good education can take you far in life. Students in high school may still question the importance of a college education. In the world of today people find themselves asking, “Why is it important to go to college?” An important aspect of succeeding in today’s world is getting a better education, and it’s much more than just a degree - in college you also learn how to better prepare for assignments, perhaps one of the most important things you can get out of attending

It has been up to me to make my education from the start, and I feel that I have earned my education by being driven and inquisitive. It is my intention to continue to hold this outlook, even after my college career, and use it to shape my life by motivating me to persevere in achieving my goals and to pursue answers even in the face of

In film and television, sound design is the most crucial tool no matter what the project or genre is. Without sound effects, music score or surround sound, film production would not be where it is today. One person who made a differenced and changed the scale of sound in film was named Richard King.

Growing up I was never the academic scholar. I struggled in school throughout the years. I didn’t believe college was the path for me; when I was in high school there were times I thought about dropping out, because I had a fix mindset. I thought either someone is born with an education or is not intelligent, and this made me not care about school.

In my eyes, students need professionalism, real life skills and an open mind in today’s society in order to be successful. Each individual requires something different in order to fully use their brain to their full capacity. Some students listen to music, use fidget spinners or pictures to enhance their learning abilities and everyone should have an opportunity to know what can help them excel. It’s hard to recognize what you’re truly passionate about because it takes awhile to figure out who you want to be as a person. Not all students will flourish because they don’t have the correct education or motivation to earn a career. It’s not guaranteed that you will get a job once you graduate anymore since, the academic criteria is getting higher. It’s important for a student to learn in order to get academically strong. Life is full of chaos and you will never know what can happen next so you need to be prepared to know how to live life no matter what happens.
