Morgan Jackson is someone I met within the first week of my freshman year (this was a feat in and of itself). I remember meeting her and wanting to be friends with her because she seemed smart-witted, friendly, and considerate; so I started to talk to her about biology and pre-med (because she is a biology major with a pre-med emphasis). She is one of those people who has their life together; she handles the balance between her extracurricular activities and academics impeccably. She has a 3.8 GPA and has a high class standing. For as long as I have known her, Morgan has always been involved in Lottie’s Hall Government. In fact, it was through Hall Government that we became good friends.

While men like Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, and Thomas Jefferson are probably most popularly known to be the greatest of the founding fathers, they were a few great men among many. Of course each played a special role in the construction of the Declaration of Independence and the development of the United States, the most important however and perhaps most frequently forgotten is Pennsylvania delegate, Robert Morris. He was born in Liverpool, Great Britain, on January 20, 1784; however, he later immigrated to America when he was 13 years old. As soon as he arrived in America his father, a tobacco based businessman, started little Robert on the path to a valuable education. Robert’s education is what kick-started him on a path of success, this success was not only his but also of America.

Clear your mind of everything and imagine what civilization would be like 20 years from now? What is the first thing that popped into your head? There are a million things that run through my mind when I think about the unknown. What if someone gave you a piece of paper and a pencil and asked you to draw what the future would look like? Could you do it? This is exactly the task that Syd Mead was presented to do. He is the creator of the art gallery I visited a few days ago.

“Treason is a strong word, but not too strong to characterize the situation in which the Senate is the eager, resourceful, and indefatigable agent of interests as hostile to the American people as any invading army could be” (Proquest).

Ryan White was born on December 6th 1971 at the St.Joseph Memorial Hospital in Kokomo Indiana. White’s doctors diagnosed him with hemophilia after his circumcision when he wouldn’t stop bleeding. To cope with his illness, he had to take bi-weekly blood transfusions “Immediately after” a surgery in 1984 Doctors diagnosed Ryan with HIV (“Ryan White Biography”).
