Reflection: Mary Williams From Dillard University

The concept of a “carrier” first emerged with typhoid fever with Mary Mallon in 1907. Mary Mallon was a working as a cook in her employer’s household, Charles Henry Warren, in New York. Working as a cook allow the bacteria, Salmonella typhi, to be transmitted to the household members through the food she was handling. George Sober, a sanitary engineer, was brought in to find the cause of illness and had proposed that it was the ingestion of freshwater clams. This was later disproven by the questioning of the infected individuals having denied they had eaten the clams. Sober then moved his suspicions onto Mary Mallon, believing she was spreading the disease as a carrier. This was a new concept at the time and was not readily accepted, especially

     Mary McLeod Bethune was an innovative leader because she took a story which was largely latent in the population, equal education rights for black children, and brought it to national prominence through the creation of the Bethune-Cookman college. She was also a visionary leader because of the incredible success she was able to attain in advancing the cause of equal education.

By this time I had obtained courage to speak out against topics of that were controversial or even at the least uncomfortable for me. The class was structured around climate change and sustainable energy. There was harmonious agreement that water bottles were inefficient and not needed at the university. The opinion further spread to doing away with all water bottles because they were contributing to the decline of the environment. While I agreed water bottles were bad for the planet, I thought about times they were useful in third world countries,not only in third world countries but even in the United States. I was slightly upset because this was after the water crisis in Flint, Michigan had occurred. There was no mention of the importance of water bottles for those in crisis. I was also sensitive because I could recall a time where segregation forced people to drink from two separate fountains. Packages of water bottles were donated were being sent to families affected, I watched this story on the news. I watched this story because Flint, Michigan had a very high population of african-americans affected by this water contamination. Race in my mind, plays a valuable factor when it comes to climate change. The environmental justice movement had gone hand in hand with the civil rights movement. The environmental justice movement sought to stop the minority from paying the consequence of poor

On Wednesday, February 24, 2016, I conducted an interview with Professor Clarissa Wilkerson, JD, CPA. As an accounting major, I am extremely interested in pursuing a career in accounting and am a student in Professor Wilkerson’s class. Her enthusiastic personality continues to inspire me to pursue a career in this field. After explaining my career goals and the details of this assignment, she gladly accepted when I asked if she would be willing to conduct an interview to help me complete this interview report. Professor Wilkerson received her Master’s degree in Taxation from Georgia State University. She is also a licensed Certified Public Accountant (CPA), and has considerable experience in the field of accounting. A few of the topics we discussed were: the importance of teamwork, the way technology is changing accounting, the value of understanding finance and economics in relation to accounting, and the usefulness of receiving a degree in accounting and earning a CPA license.

Katie Hendrickson 's “Student Resistance to Schooling: Disconnections With Education in Rural Appalachia” is a scholarly article within The High School Journal, a publication for those employed in a secondary educational facility. Being founded in 1918, it is one of the oldest peer-reviewed academic journals in education. The journal is managed by students and faculty in the School of Education at Chapel Hill and is published quarterly by the University of North Carolina Press – it 's both a current and scholarly resource. Hendrickson has quite a storied history in the teaching field as well, giving credence to her article. She has been published in another peer-reviewed academic journal, Education in a Democracy, as well as presented her finding on co-teaching at the Ohio Confederation of Teacher Education Organizations conferences. But the list of accolades doesn 't end there: she was awarded the Mabel Olson Bell Award for Outstanding Mentor Teachers from the Patton College of Education at Ohio University, in addition to awards for STEM (Science, Technology, Mathematics, and Engineering) teaching. Hendrickson, along with two of her colleagues, accepted the Governor’s Thomas Edison Award for Excellence in STEM Education in 2013, and in 2012, she received a Global Teacher Fellowship from the Rural School and Community Trust. This gave her the opportunity to travel and create place-based lessons for classrooms drawing from her experience,

Susan Clark faced conflict in 1868 when she was refused admission to Washington School, an all white school in Muscatine, Iowa. Victory was achieved when the case was appealed to the Iowa Supreme Court who decided school segregation was unconstitutional. This landmark school desegregation case set the stage for the future of school integration in the United States.

It is Sunday morning in Miami, but for me today is a new beginning where my independence start and I can use my time wisely. Therefore, I decided to travel to the beach, with the windows down having the wind run through my hair and having my favorite song "Independent Woman" play on the radio. The sound of the waves of the ocean it was incredible and peacefully, which reminds me of the feeling of comfort when I am sitting on Brandon. Another example why Brandon is important in my life, it is because, during high school, I spent plenty of time waiting for the bus to travel to work and home, and in today's day time is valuable. However, I lost time being incapable of buying me a car. Missing the bus plenty of times and having to count on my friend

my mother, but no one came to comfort me. Not a soul reasoned quietly with me, as my own mother used to do; for now I was only one of many little animals driven by a herder.” This effected the women who were mothers greatly as their children became stripped of their culture, and what truly made them, them (Hewitt and Lawson 2013, 512-513). Native American women fought and pressed hard against this assimilation by producing publications to inform the public of what was truly going on in these boarding schools. Other individuals also put in their own voice with these publications to help reinforce what the Native American women were writing about (Hewitt and Lawson 2013, 627).

The History of Mary Prince was a seminal work of the nineteenth century, which today remains an important historical device. Mary Prince’s story is not unique, but the circumstances and context surrounding her novel are. Defying contemporary standards and beliefs, The History of Mary Prince demonstrates the atrocities of slavery, but also a distinctive and deliberate political message. The History of Mary Prince is not only important for its demonstration of human suffering and the legal history it documents, but it also offers insight into the British abolition movement. Twofold, it remains an important text through both its straightforward portrayal of facts and experience as well as its underlying careful manipulation of political and moral themes. The History of Mary Prince served as an influential abolitionist piece of writing, but furthermore can incite multiple layers of interpretation and analysis of the abolition movement.

Mary Rowlandson was born in a Puritan society. Her way of was that of an orthodox Puritan which was to be very religious and see all situations are made possible by God. She begins her writing by retelling a brutal description of the attack on Lancaster by the Natives. Rowlandson spends enough time interacting with the Natives to realize these people live normal, secular lives. She had the opportunity work for a profit which was not accepted when she lived as devout Puritan women in Puritan colony. Mary Rowlandson knows that she must expose the good nature of the Natives and she must rationalize her “boldness” through quoting the Bible.

My motivation to explore Knox was given to me by my Northwestern Academy Advisor. She spoke about the school and persuaded me to look at the website. She explained that it is a place where she could see me attend. As I read about Knox, many aspects of the college stood out to me. An aspect in particular that stood out was how it is a small community, A community that is built on trust and unity. These are two values that are rooted in my personality. As a full Diploma Student, I value my work very much and I am held accountable for being honest. This is why I was able to identify with the Honor Code. As the older sister of three younger siblings, there are many responsibilities that my parents have trusted me with, from something as simple

While I was reading Higher Education through Discombobulation, I came to understand that the author whose name is Betsy Chitwood uses a form of personal experiences to get his point across within the reading. With the use of personal experiences, the author makes the audience want to read the response to the end because they feel as if they can connect to the reading through their own personal experiences. What I got out of the reading response was that Chitwood was brought up from childhood to believe that confusion is not at all a negative thing. The authors mother had taught that confusion is an important element in learning different types of things throughout life. Chitwood believes that people in today’s society should step out of their
