Erie Railroad

Going into this term, I wasn’t sure what to expect. My initial plan did not include taking this course this summer. Somehow, Troy ended up changing the schedule and it worked out for me. At least, I thought it was going to work out for me. This term has been very interesting. The classes that I took are PSY 6645 Evaluation and Assessment and CP 6642 Group Dynamics. This paper is going to be about my experience in PSY 6645. I’m going to discuss concepts that were new to me, experiences that caused

“Before the building of the Transcontinental Railroad, it cost nearly $1,000 dollars to travel across the country. After the railroad was completed, the price dropped to $150 dollars.”(History.com Staff). Prior to the railroad the average citizen of America could not afford to travel across the country cheaply. America waited for a means of transportation which would connect them from the Western to Eastern states. The responsibility of creating the railroads were left up to construction companies. Once

The next day I nearly skipped to school. I was in such a good mood that I couldn’t help but to smile. I don’t know what it is about Shay, but I couldn’t get him out of my head. He was a bad boy that was probably a terrible influence but I couldn’t help but hope that he would show up to class. Copper and I walked to school because we missed the bus and couldn’t get another ride. I planned on having Shay drive me home and Copper was going to sleepover at his friend’s house so we didn’t butt heads

When working on a group you have to be a listener and a leader at the same time, you have to make sure you help your group. Being in a group is not an easy thing working with people can be challenging specially when they work at a different rhythm or even a different way, I’ve had different experiences working in groups but personally I can agree that this group was a perfect fit for me, at the beginning it was very difficult due to the fact that several of our classmates withdraw the class and did

Cameron Academy, the place where it all started for me. The first ever school that I had gone to. It was the place where I learned to fear anyone older and bigger than you because the teenagers there were not above fighting kindergarteners. Where I learned that the safest place to be after school was the office because the fights between the police and the students that took place outside on the front steps of the school were too brutal for me to witness; at least that's what my mom told me. That

affected today's railroads greatly for had it not been for the Pacific Rail Way Act, we wouldn’t have the transcontinental railroad and we wouldn’t be able to travel by train today. The interest was high for having a railroad that traveled across the states, having a railroad would not only allow for more trading and also more treaties to be made. When the Pacific Rail Way Act was in full swing, land conflicts arose, two railroad companies were competing for the position to be the main railroad company,

“What can I do for you?” My first words to a camper at the start of the Head Royce Summer Program, my tone warm with a tad of anxiety. “Are you Cereal?” The camper wondered. Remaining unflustered, I responded formally. “Yes, that’s my nickname and I’ll be your counselor. What’s your name?” Like other counselors, I was to stay courteous and help the 2nd grade teacher whenever needed. Above all, it was my responsibility to ensure the campers in the 2nd grade class I was assigned to were enjoying their

Here I am. In a small town in the middle of Colorado at my new school. It’s my first day and I’m already sweating. I guess it makes sense, since I’m an elemental. The bell rings and I rush inside. Even though there are so many people I feel alone and excluded. “Hi!” said an unfamiliar voice “Huh, oh um hi” I answered back “So what’s your name? I’m Christa” the girl said. “Oh hi Christa, I’m Luna It’s nice to meet you” I said trying not to act scared but it was obvious. “Luna? That’s a pretty

into the map business by their father, Joseph Hutchins Colton, an American map and atlas publisher, who was active between 1833 and 1897. Though J.H. Colton was neither a cartographer or an engraver himself, he invested in the emerging market of railroad maps and immigrant guides, which proved popular during the mid 1880s. G. W. Colton was as a trained cartographer and engraver, who wanted to create a large and detailed world atlas and establish himself firmly in the U.S.

Throughout my lifetime, activities, events, and services that I am involved in have shaped me as a person. The one thing that I personally think has had the most impact on my character is being a soccer coach for Lil’ Kickers, it has given me qualities of leadership that will carry on throughout my entire life. I first started working at Lil’ Kickers in August of 2016 when one of my old soccer trainers gave all the girls on my soccer team notice that they were hiring new coaches. When I heard about
