white being the same as American has a more complex answer than just yes or no. Being merely white in skin color dos not correlate to an American status. Sonia Shah encountered a similar problem when she was asked to write about Asian American History Month. “… the term ‘Asian American’ itself it problematic. Most of the people whom others would categorize as ‘Asian American’ most emphatically don’t think of themselves that way” Shah explains (RGG 245). Therefore, categorizing white people as “White American”

Happy black history month. Black people have been through so much yet we have overcome. We started with slavery and then that was abolished and then we have gone into segregation and then we are here. So many things have changed and so much haven't changed. America we had the first ever black president. It was great and give a lot of people hope especially the black community because they have seen it all. Barack Obama made (White) people look at black people in a differently and even if you hated

October is breast cancer awareness month. It is also an opportunity to bring attention to cancer awareness in general. On top of Alberta Health Services cancer screening, educational and other assistance programs, Edson has a growing network of support for those affected by cancer.

For this Hispanic Heritage Month Paper I chose the Inventor Guillermo González Camarena who invented the first color TV screen. The life of Guillermo Gonzalez Camarena started in Guadalajara on February 17, 1917. When Guillermo was 2 years old he moved to Mexico City where as a young boy he made electrically propelled toys and at 12 he constructed his first amatuer radio. When Guillermo was young he established a laboratory in the basement of his house! In 1930 he was selected to go to the School

I was a volunteer at the oncology department of hospital for almost a year, and one of my jobs was assisting the nurse manager with the organization of the “nurse of the month” board. The nurses used to vote for the “nurse of the month”, but if during the same year that nurse had already been “nurse of the month”, the nurse manager would pick another person be on the board. The winner would also receive a gift from the nurse manager. During my time setting up the board I heard many times nurses were

National Children’s Dental Month, held every year in February, is the perfect time to teach your children about the importance of good oral hygiene. The dental team at Charlotte Pediatric Dentistry in Charlotte, NC, knows that the earlier kids embrace good oral hygiene, the better their chances of avoiding painful cavities.

their own nation, but the North wanted them to become one unified nation. The Southern sates had different morals and opinions on important issues that were going on at the time. The main issue was slavery. Thought the month of April 1865, depicted in the book April 1865: The Month That Saved America by Jay Winik, we see the “ending” of the war and a tragic event that changes the lives of the nation, the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. Yet though all this hardship America had the ability to become

Alumni of the Month I was a Playing for Others teen from 2012-2014. I served on the Concert Committee in my first year and on the Teen Executive Committee in my second year. I was in Dance Experience both years and received a chance to play a role of being a part of the “cool kid crew” in the Musical Theatre show “13!” As a PFO teen, I learned how to make a significant difference in my life, how to accept myself for who I am, and discovered my passion for Dance. After I graduated from PFO,

February 1st signals the beginning of Black History Month. While there are many disputes arising from this celebration, including its brevity and timing, being able to have time dedicated to honoring the history of the African population who now call the United States of America home. Even this, however, is marginalized by the history books. We as a society spend weeks learning about the famous faces of the Civil Rights Movement. We know all about Dr. Martin Luther King and Rosa Parks. I personally

Autism Awareness Month: Coping with Auditory Sensitivities Those on the autism spectrum often deal with sound sensitivity, and it can come in different flavors. Some individuals might be hypersensitive, and can’t help but pay attention to each and every sound. While others can be hyposensitive, where they do not respond to sounds or to their name. It’s not uncommon to identify this under-sensitivity with hearing loss, but in some cases there is actual hearing loss due to the developmental challenges
