When I move into my dorm for my first year of college, there is no question of which quote I would put onto my wall. Jimmy Dean, one of my favorite old school country singers, once said "I can't change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination." This quote has really stuck with me. It reminds me that life will not always go my way and it is imperative that I learn to do deal with whatever the world may throw at me.

When the question of deciding if Steven Hayes possessed a personality disorder when committing the Cheshire crime, it seems unlikely. In an article by Marc Wortman that was published in The Daily Beast, Steven Hayes openly admitted to the reporter he was a crack addict and "used drugs to kill the pain...” (Wortman). Hayes went into full explanation claiming he had suffered abuse during childhood with no contact of his father and ended up dropping out of high school. However, if Hayes suffered from an abusive childhood which resulted him to turn to drugs, why didn't Hayes seek counseling?

You are investigating a murder that has occurred at the 1968 summer Olympics in Mexico. It was the 26th of October, and the Olympic games were coming to an end.

Prior to his death, Edward was seen downstairs

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.

Every March 17th, more than 150 million Americans put on their green hats, and begin celebrating in the memory of St.Patrick, the missionary who first converted the Irish isles to catholicism. More than one hundred years ago, however, such celebrations would have caused rioting- and even turf wars between Irish Catholics and ‘Native American’ Protestants. In today’s society protestant-catholic sectarianism is limited to the far flung corners of Ulster and Belfast. However, in the mid 1800s, cities like New York or Philadelphia were on the verge of civil war, stopped only by the toils, kindness and wisdom of ‘The Dagger’ John Hughes, the naturalized Irish born archbishop of New York in the mid 1800s.

Mr. Walter Cunningham Is not a hero to me because of many reasons. My definition of a hero is that this person has to put others before them self, and think about what might happen if they do something. Also, a hero does not have to save the day and wear a cape, but they do have to fight for what they think is right. Mr. Walter Cunningham Does not put others; first, he is thinking about himself and lets his feeling get in the way of doing what he thinks/knows is right. He goes with the crowd to kill Tom Robinson, but he can not bring himself to do it because of Scout. She shows him what he is doing is wrong, and all the men in the group see that they were in the wrong. If a person thought or tried to kill someone it would take a lot of work

Haag, Austria. April 5th, 1900 – Herbert Bayer is born to Rosa Simmer Bayer and Maximilian Bayer. Although the village that he was raised in was mainly filled with peasants, his mother and her family owned a local hotel, known as the Gasthaus and Herbert’s father was a tax collector in the area. Being the second son of four total children meant that a young Herbert Bayer was shy and withheld. Although the relationship between parent and son was somewhat distant, his mother and father supported his early interests in design, which included frequently drawing the surrounding landscape around where the Bayer family lived.
