The American Institute of Architecture Students (AIAS) is an independent, nonprofit, student-run organization. The AIAS strives to provide the future generation of architects with progressive programs, information, and resources on issues critical to architecture and the experience of education [9]. “The mission of the AIAS is to promote excellence in architectural education, training, and practice; to foster and appreciation of architecture and related disciplines; to enrich communities in a spirit of collaboration; and to organize students and combine their efforts to advance the art and science of architecture” [9]. The AIAS official website provides as an ample to tool to communicate with peers through in many ways. One of them is by becoming an official member and by doing so you are able to attend meeting on you university

Now that Kate was on the outskirts of the airport hanger and away from the strange glowing force field, still visible in the distance. The situation felt surreal, and Kate wondered if this was just a dream. Presently, she was cognizant that there was something foreign in the brisk early morning air, glittering like snow, feeling like sand as the tiny flecks dusted her skin. The bulldog nudging and licking Kate's hand forced reality back. In her peripheral, Kate observed Mr.Jacks emerge from the nearby hedgerow." I was so hopeful that my message would be discovered by someone." Kate cried out.

It wasn’t until I was offered to participate in the Architecture Construction Engineering (ACE) Mentor Program that showed me the industry in greater depth. This is where I discovered that I wanted to be part of more than just the design facet of a project. I concluded that saying “I built that” was deemed of greater admiration then “I drew that”. Once that light bulb went off I began to research construction science programs and A&M had the one most recognized programs in the state. I then sought out and talked to the Aggies I knew to hear about their personal experiences and opportunities that were made possible for them in this wonderful land. It seemed that a motif in all the stories was that everyone was like one gigantic family and that baited me

In his article “Fear of Narrative and the Skittery Poem of Our Moment,” Tony Hoagland argues that modern poetry is “oblique,” “fractured,” and “discontinuous”. He believes that poems no longer have systematic structure or development, making them appear random with skittish tendencies. Because of the poems that Hoagland feels are different, he categorizes most new poems to be like the kind he describes in his article. He further evaluates new poetry by claiming that “narrative poetry is tainted by overuse” and that the time we live in is “simply not a narrative age.” He uses several poems to support his argument such as, “Couples” by Mark Halliday and “First Person Fabulous” by Matthea Harvey. He utilizes these poems because they possess no true focal point and the structure restricts them from having a clear narrative.

My name is Zach Reid, I have just been hired on as a new DST.

The fluffy, snowflake white clouds play tag in the intensely blue sky. The trees wave continuously, while their bodies remained still. The birds chirped, loudly, outside the clear, old window of the unnecessarily blue antique house that everyone assumed was strange. No one assumed anything strange about the house owners with one daughter, who was naturally spoiled to the core. No one thought anything about her, or how she had an endless amount of shoes and clothes. Not how she never wore the same clothes twice, ever, her name was Katie Brooks, her mother’s name was Moringa Brooks, and finally, the most important of all, her father’s name was Peterson Brooks. Mr. Brooks may not seem important now, but he is, you’ll see. He was actually the

Here’s the thing about high school, it’s terrible. Not because I don’t just absolutely love learning useless things like the makeup of a plant cell, but rather because teachers and students underestimate me or try to walk all over me because I’m that one kid who gets into fights and lives in detention. Oliver, he likes to call himself my dad ever since the adoption, I still call him Oliver to mess with him though, insists I need to graduate high school knowing I hate it. However he likes to tell me there’s a silver lining in everything and the silver lining for me going to school is Matt. Perfect, smart, cool, and absolute badass Matt Williams. Hockey team captain and resident popular guy.

I enjoyed the Craft talk with Kerry Howley on the role of the narrator as a character in the story. It was particularly interesting to focus on the narrator and to actually get the chance to develop the narrator as a character. She mentioned that often the narrator is the character that gets the least amount of attention from the author, which seems bizarre. The narrator is the character with which the entire narrative arc is seen. Intuitively you would think that this character would receive the most attention from the author. The characteristics of the narrator can influence every detail of the story.

What can I say about Eric Bitner? To start off I really didn’t like him at first, he seemed to rude, didn’t have a lot to say and kept mostly to himself. He only ever talked to his sister, Linc or Ryder. He was pretty stuck in his ways, in fact he still is. He treats his sister like she is a child and needs to be watched at all times, I guess in some ways she is. Though I can’t really fault him on that, she is after all the only family he has left, and you can bet if my mother or father was still alive I would do anything within my power to keep them safe. You do for family, or so I’ve been told. Don’t really know what it's like having a sibling, I was an only child, but that is another story for another time. Back on track. Eric does not believe that I, no, all woman shouldn't be allowed outside the walls,

Delaney Nolan. When her name is mentioned, everyone has different thoughts coming to their mind. But my thoughts are that she is my best friend. I’ll start from the beginning of our friendship. I will never forget the day we met in Scott’s group, black 1. Even though I couldn’t remember her unique name at first, I could automatically tell we were going to be best friends. Why you might ask? because our first conversation was about how much we hated Scott’s practices. From then on, we were like Zach and Cody, always making up excuses to try and get out of trouble aka Scott’s horrendous sets. Fast forward five years later and we are no longer hating practice (well for the most part at least). It is easy to say that we grew up in the pool together by getting faster and mentally and physically stronger. As our swimming

It’s game night for the young Drake Taylor. Overwhelmed with nervousness, with a cold sweat running down his forehead. “Tonight’s the night”, Drake said to himself, “tonight’s the night of the game that means everything.” For a kid with no confidence, he was pumped to show off his skills. The bounce of a knee to his favorite motivational song helped him get an edge and focus on his game. Through all the chaos he waits.

Jonathan Edwards’s “Personal Narrative” main message is to convince us about his belief that America should be built on Christian values. It is interesting to note how Edwards uses the story of his youth and transformation through the years to prove this point and support his belief. The passage given to us is typical of the wider text in the sense that it shows the final conclusion he came to after years of reflection and walk in the Christian faith. At the same time, it rehashes the message that he wants to convey.

I am Andrew Soebagio, from Indonesia. I’ve been a student at North for about a year and a half now. I’m planning to graduate from North this upcoming fall, with an AS degree. A major that I have in mind is Petroleum Engineering; hopefully this plan will stick with me till I graduate.

It is also assumed that the act of telling a story can provide insight into past, present and future events (Espinoza, 1997). By going through this process, individuals can find the importance of certain events and assign roles to people who are a part of their story. This act can allow a client to find new meaning and understanding to their reality (Espinoza, 1997). Not only is a

Before the end of my second year at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute School of Architecture, I began to ponder on the possibility of quitting architecture. It was a convoluted time of uncertainty; I wasn’t sure whether I was prepared to become an architect and take on the responsibility and commitment to better the built environment. Nevertheless, I decided to give myself one last shot at architecture before giving up – I accepted the internship offer from MAD Architects in Beijing, China. There, I got to meet many young architects
