On June 9th 1959, a twelve year old girl by the name of Lynne Harper was walking around her neighbourhood until she encountered a young boy from school, Steven Truscott who gave her a bicycle ride home. Once he dropped her off home and went off, she was abducted, two days later her body was found, she had been raped and strangled. By the reason of several witnesses spotting Steven and Lynne together, the Ontario police wrongly convicted him for committing murder. Steven Truscott was a 14 year old boy, who was popular, athletic, he had no behavioral issues and no criminal past. However the Ontario police did not take time to consider the fact that Steven Truscott was just a normal teenage boy, instead they jumped to conclusions and prosecuted
Ruby Collins was under surveillance by two RCMP officers regarding the suspicion of heroin possession and trafficking. While sitting at a pub, Collins was approached by one of the officers, who did not have a warrant, and was taken to the ground and placed in a throat hold to prevent any swallowing of the evidence.

On April 8, 2016 at approximately 1500 hours, I made contact with Heather Curtis at 8307 Centennial Road in reference to a domestic dispute. Mrs. Curtis stated that her husband Marc Curtis sent her multiple text messages to her phone stating that she couldn’t have the kids and that the police would have to kill him before he goes to jail or give her the kids back. This was the result of an argument after Mrs. Curtis refused to pick him up from work because he had taken her EBT card. Mrs. Curtis stated that he hasn’t been acting normal and may possibly be going through a psychotic break. Mrs. Curtis was advised to go to the Prosecuting Attorney’s Office to get a restraining order and given a copy of this report number. Mrs. Curtis was also

ALCO, Kan. — Cheryl Hofstetter Duffy began by telling Senator Jerry Moran that she was a breast cancer survivor. Then she asked why the debate over the Affordable Care Act was focused on repealing and replacing the law, rather than simply making it better.
To give the students like me a better idea on how to get a job or how the real world works, the department of Agricultural and Biological Engineering gave us a class inviting the people graduated from this major or people specialized on the certain field that may benefit us in the future.

Emily Murphy is a Canadian heroine people greatly respect. Emily Murphy was born on March 14, 1868 in Cookstown, Ontario. She later married Arthur Murphy, an Anglican priest.

For the past four years, I have been heavily involved with agriculture. I have been an officer in the Burley FFA Chapter, managed my own farming operation, worked for different farmers, and learned many new skills that will help me in college and beyond.
I have been interested in Technology and certain aspects of Science since I was a child. As I became older I came to a realization of how much I love Technology; I began to excel in my technology and engineering classes but not do as great in my science classes. I began to loathe science as I took upon the love of Engineering. As I have researched different types of engineering in previous years, I have stumbled across Agricultural and Environmental Engineering. I have decided instead of seeing science a challenge I cannot overcome I should work harder to be better at the subject. Therefore, I can combine my love for the planet and horticulture with my love for technology and engineering. Having an internship at USDA as a Senior will further help me achieve my goal of having a career in the STEM field. I feel having an Internship my senior year will cause me to further succeed as the research I will hopefully be doing can cause me to grasp a better understanding of the different types of careers open to me in the future.
While being a junior in high school I often thought to myself what I would want to do after graduation. I had no general idea of what I wanted to do but knew I would want to attend a college near my hometown. I was active in my FFA serving as the chapter historian and was an active member for four years prior to becoming an officer. While being on the officer team and taking an abundance of agriculture classes I learned how much of a passion I would have for agriculture. That spring I had attended Career Development Events for FFA competing in food science and technology and the following year I participated in floriculture.
