Evanston

I.1. Background: I serve as a pastoral intern at the Vineyard Christian church of Evanston. This marks my second year of internship at this church. I have thoroughly enjoyed the experience of becoming familiar with the culture of a non-denominational setting of the church. The Evanston Vineyard comprises of 57 nations of the world. The church is not only unique because of this particular diversity but also because of the Spanish speaking congregation that gathers together in the LaVina auditorium

restrictions to shorts, yoga pants, and leggings, particularly regarding pants that are brightly colored, or have intricate patterns. This is because these are “too distracting to our male peers.” In early March 2014, students of Haven Middle School in Evanston, Illinois, protested when the principal released a new dress code policy. The students protested by wearing leggings and yoga pants, while plastering posters across the school, one reading, “Are my pants lowering your test scores?”

Introduction Understanding the Black Power Movement as it relates to the creation of Black or African American study programs and departments is to recognize the efforts of radical student activists on college campuses. The prevailing thought of the Black existence casted doubt on the importance of Black/African studies at colleges and universities. Blacks, unfortunately, were thought to not have a history, or at least one not worth examining, in the American existence and even within world civilization

“One of three returning troops are being diagnosed with serious Post-Traumatic stress symptoms. Less than 40% will seek help” (ptsdusa.org). Many soldiers come home from war with PTSD, these soldiers that suffer from PTSD are known to result in murder and/or suicide cases. PTSD negatively impacts the physical, mental and emotional being of war veterans which puts them in risk of harming themselves as well as harming others. Society stereotypes war as a heroic experience in which soldiers come back

One time I had to help my friend Louie. We had been at my house and he forgot to turn his lights off in his old pickup. He went to start it and it would not turn over, he realized that he left his lights on. I brought my pickup over to try and jump start his pickup. I wasted a quarter tank of gas revving up my truck to try to provide more power. At this point we gave up, we then realized that we could roll start his pickup. I pulled his truck with my truck up the bump to my sloped driveway. He got

The article “Evanston representatives, University employees join hundreds marching for union rights, higher wage” by Kristina Karisch, published in The Daily Northwestern relates directly to our current studies, in what happened in the past and now. Even today, just like before workers in Unions protest for higher wages and the right to unionize. Today, just like in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s there exists a wage disparity that is ever increasing, America is richer than ever, yet only 1% are

if I were accepted to Northwestern, I would immediately go there. Northwestern is a hub for innovation producing the future. A few days ago a Northwestern University admissions counselor visited my school. She told us of the wonders available in Evanston,  telling us of how the campus is intimate due to its small size. Once she was finished talking, I asked her why did she choose Northwestern.  She told us that she loved the opportunities available at Northwestern. It is right next to downtown Chicago

Picture your parents choosing the person you had to be married to. Many years ago arranged marriages were a huge part of the African and Chinese culture. This caused much tension between parents and their children. The practicing of arranged marriages were lost over time. This caused parents to feel betrayed by their children, when they married whom they desired. In the two stories “Marriage is a Private Affair” and “Love Must Not Be Forgotten,” the main characters face challenges’ involving

A water tornado is in a flask, and the water... It’s purple. No, it’s turquoise. Green? Brown? It’s orange now. How? These scientists must be from Frankenstein's lab. Of course these demonstrators weren’t from Frankenstein’s lab, but in fourth grade I thought they were. Only when I took AP Chemistry did I learn that this ‘chameleon effect’ was just a simple redox reaction. As a child, I loved watching the colors change, but as I got older, I yearned to understand why they changed. This mindset
