A long term goal is a goal that you wish to accomplish in the future. Long term goals require time, planning, dedication, and rescilience. Having a long term goal is important for a successful career in the future. One of my long term goals is to become a prosperous private practice lawyer.

For example, I happen to know from my previous classes regarding the history of African Americans including from an author by the name of Toni Morrison who suggests humanity started with Africans. There was similar information from one story called A Feast On Foot and within the story was the line “The human adventure in the world began in Africa” (Galeano 1) however there was the first

Representation, Jennifer Siebel Newsom states that “we’re here for an instant in an eternity, and all that really matters is what we do with that time” (Miss Representation). This is a profound thought. The Earth has existed for billions of years, yet most people consider themselves lucky to live for 100 years. That’s a relatively insignificant amount of time. Our names won’t be remembered forever, but we have the capability of creating change that will last far beyond us. In order to spark this change

Every Revolution Gives Birth to Another When Americans look back at the ways in which African American women and Native American women as recently as not much more than a century ago, they might well be shocked at the ways in which their lives were limited by both legal and cultural restrictions.

The Perfect Family of the 1950s Versus the Present Time of Families Is it worth going back to the 1950s and experience the workplace of woman and men going to War or staying in the present time. Many people in today’s society see the morals and values of the past of the fifties. Nevertheless, the fifties had its nuclear family to where everyone was set for in life already. The woman became homemakers and men worked at an occupation. In the 1950s men were going to War, so the mother had to do both

I Am... It's Possible,” those are the inspiring words of Misty Copeland. She is a historical dancer who has made an impact in dance history. Being successful in the professional ballet industry is a major challenge, especially when you’re of the African American race. This obstacle did not stop Copeland, being that she accomplished her dream of becoming a prima ballerina. Misty Copeland was born on September 10, 1982, in Kansas City.

It was the Tuskegee Airmen that were African Americans that were servicemen during the World War II.

Musicians, actors, and authors are just of the famous people we look up to. They are the ones we wish we were and the ones we hate at the same time.

I look up to Billie because she relates her music to what happened in her life. This shows how much emotion she puts into her music; how passionate she was about it. I am a musician myself and as a musician you
