“Today’s living feels like a struggle to survive”,” Money is always a big issue”,” I can’t study if I don’t have the money for it”. That was my way of thinking recently, but a month before this course commenced I started to think differently. I said to myself, “I need to look for more information on how to be able to pay for my studies”, “Student Loans might provide me with the money I need to start studying again”, “I’m going to apply for the President’s Scholarship, writing a 2 page essay explaining why I deserve that scholarship”. My new way of thinking about money brought me my most recent identity as a student in the International Academy of Design and Technology. Then I got my books, including Becoming a Master Student which made me realize even more the power of “Positive Thinking”. Now I know that money may be a primordial need but not an obstacle, that there are resources that can help me achieve my goals. Now I’m confident that by planning ahead and adding additional control to my personal finances I will be able to have enough money to complete my education.

Studying abroad is important to me for a multitude of reasons. The most pressing of which is,

Cultural appropriation and cultural appreciation. Two very different terms that many individuals have yet to comprehend. It’s understandable, it can be daunting trying to figure out how to please everyone or at a minimum not offend anyone. The difference between the two is not always clear. There is a very thin line to walk on.

Cultural appropriation is the adoption or use of the elements of one culture by members of another culture. Cultural appropriation is portrayed as rude, called cultural misappropriation, and claims to be a violation of the history of a culture. Often unavoidable when cultures come together, cultural appropriation can include using another culture's traditions, such as fashion, symbols, language, and cultural songs without permission. Even though society consistently uses Native American and African American styles at festivals, in magazines and on celebrities, this form of cultural appropriation is not right because we are not using it for the right reasons.

The first event in the decades-long feud was the 1865 murder of Randolph’s brother, Asa Harmon McCoy, by the Logan Wildcats, a local militia group that counted Devil Anse and other Hatfields among its members. Many people—even members of his own family—regarded Asa Harmon, who had served in the Union Army during the American Civil War, as a traitor.The McCoys, living on the Kentucky side of the river, fought for the Union Army while the Hatfields fought for the Confederacy. During the war, Asa Harmon McCoy broke his leg and was sent home. When he returned, a group named “The Logan Wildcats,” led by Jim Vance, tracked him down to a cave and killed him.

This year’s family vacation was one for the books. With my aunt living in Tennessee, we do not get together as often as we would like so my family decided to go to Nashville, Tennessee. When we started our trip, it was 6 a.m. and it was nothing short of fun and laughter along the way. Never having been to Tennessee before, I figured I’d enjoy the eight-hour ride of sight-seeing and laughter with my family. When we were a few miles into the trip, the mountains of Georgia were breathtaking. While I was enjoying the scenery, another thing that I found enjoyable about this trip was the conversation that I had with my family. We went on talking about life in general, all the struggles, and childhood memories that we had. We even talked about years

I came to America as an exchange student from Vietnam at the age of fifteen. When I decided to go alone to an unfamiliar environment, no one thought it was a wise decision. My friends advised me to give up on that intention and focus on learning in Vietnam. My parents are afraid that I will be in danger and nobody will take care for me. But I want to experience new cultures, and especially this is the beginning of my dream to study at famous American universities. Participate in this program allows me to not only build personal relationships when studying and interacting with Americans but also to learn about US culture from a local perspective. Apart from me, there are cultural exchanges students from other countries such as Japan, Spain.

When I heard about the two week program being offered I felt excited because I knew this was an opportunity to travel and expand my knowledge on a different culture. I have always wanted to feel independent all my life so what better chance do I get than this program which offers a
