Upon her 1852 graduation, she earned three distinct honors in that she was one of few women to receive a classical liberal arts education, she maintained the highest grades, and was the youngest member of her class at only seventeen.

Becoming a licensed practical nurse is a rewarding job that allows a nurse to care for other people and it has a rewarding salary, while the disadvantages is the lack of sleep and the multiple hours that a nurse has to spend on his/her feet. Cathy Parker is a licensed practical nurse and also a clinical director at Bay Springs After Hours Clinic in Bay Springs,M.S. She has been a licensed practical nurse for twenty-eight years and a clinical director for thirteen years. Cathy has several reasons why she chose her career to be a licensed practical nurse. She says the main reason she chose to be a nurse is because one night at church a little boy had cut his arm and as she bandaged him up God called her to be a nurse. Her second reason she became a nurse is her love for people and wanting to see others properly cared for. As she cared for her elderly grandmother when she was a teenager it made her feel helpful to see someone smile while being cared for. Her favorite part of her job is to see someone who has been in pain, smile after being cared for.

Laura S. Haviland risked her own life trying to make a difference for the lives of others. She was not very concerned about what would happen to her, she just wanted to make sure others were getting what she thought they deserved. She was an abolitionist and a writer. Throughout her life she was devoted to helping people in many different ways, spending much of her life doing different activities that involved helping people, most importantly slaves and their families. These were things she never had to do, but chose to do. She took it upon herself to spend her life doing this. One of the biggest things she devoted her life to was the underground railroad. She also helped to make big improvements for African Americans. This almost cost her, her life, but she kept going and helping. Without Laura Haviland's demanding work and dedication Michigan would not have made such drastic improvements as they did during this time. Laura worked her whole life to selflessly help so many different people in their current situations. Laura was a teacher,

On October 4, 1904, Mary Jane McLeod Bethune launched the Daytona Normal and Industrial Institute for Negro Girls with five students in a four-room cottage that she rented for eleven dollars per month. It was the first grade school for black children in the community. Bethune’s school was near the train tracks and the parents paid fifty cents per week for tuition. She showed her students crafts and homemaking, so that they could “earn a good living when they were grown” (Pinkney 45). Mary utilized pieces of burnt wood for chalk. She created pen ink from elderberry juice. Packing crates were used for desks. The students who lived at the school slept on corn sacks that Bethune filled with Spanish moss. To assist Bethune, some of the townspeople

According to an account by her mother, Laura began her life as “a lively, intelligent, extremely curious child who had at 18 months begun to ‘talk quite plain’ and learn a few letters of the alphabet” (Mahoney). At only two years old, however, Laura contracted scarlet fever for several weeks. During this illness, she lost her senses of, sight and hearing, and most of her senses of taste and smell.

Anna Claire Anderson, also known as “the kid who laughs at their own jokes”, born August 3 2003, lived hard, played hard, and died hard. Claire was born to Todd and Julie Anderson, in Clinton Oklahoma. Claire attended schools in the Clinton Oklahoma district, as well as the Blackfoot Idaho districts. She enjoyed singing, tennis and a rigorous game of yahtzee, but it was the joy of cliff diving that finally got her. Throughout her life, she enjoyed the friendship of her siblings, and chores, but there was nothing like eating that set her on a ramp. She could go on and on, eating this and that, continuously watching The Office on Netflix. Once the TV series was over, she went into the state of very minor Netflix depression, and thus decided to take up cliff diving to make up for the thrill of the twists and turns of The Office. There’s nothing that could compare better to The Office than cliff diving, she was sure of it.

“Our children must never lose their zeal for building a better world.” (Mary Bethune). One might say, “Mary Bethune did not really save Florida or protect it from the outside world”, or, “She did not participate in the military.” So basically, she’s not qualified to be a hero? Is she not qualified as a person who has made not only Florida but our entire nation a safe place to live? Indeed not.

There have been many influential people in my life, but Marilyn Macfarlane is my role model. I started taking riding lessons when I was seven years old at Marilyn’s farm in Shelbyville, Kentucky. It is a saddleseat farm with saddlebred, hackney ponies, friesians and many other breeds. Marilyn started teaching riding lessons at the age of sixteen in West Virginia before purchasing Walnut Way. It is hard to tell how many riders and others she has influenced through her work and love for horses. To me she is set apart from others because not only does she teach you how to ride, but horse care and horsemanship are her top priority. Accomplished would be an understatement, Marilyn has paved the way for everyone in the saddlebred industry she was

Dance perspectives has been an enlightening experience for me as a young, growing human and dancer. Listening to professors and guests tell their stories of how they've come to be at this time helped me see how raw and human these idols to me are. It’s so interesting to me how people will be so scared and idolize someone due to their social status and resume , but not see that they started off similar to them, that they are human as well. The only difference between the successful and ones who believe they aren’t, is that the ones many look up to have made a conscious effort to find true self and know their own energy.

Erin Gruwell was the sweetest women in the world to her students. The reasoning for her being the sweetest women to her students is because it was part of her upbringing that she was to be kind to everyone she met. I think that most of her students had a different upbringing they were raised to be the strongest and toughest person on their block. It matter if you were nice or not the only way to get their point across was to the strongest one there. Another trait that I found in Ms. Gruwell was that she was very understanding in her own way. She would understand the situation that one of her students were in, but she was not going to let that student fail. As for most of her students the only way is their way they were not understanding in
