The Statue of Liberty, the Washington Monument, Bunker Hill Monument— these structures honor and immortalize remarkable occurrences in history, people, or concepts; and when it is time to construct a monument, many aspects of the established memorial need to be planned. Factors a group or agency should consider when memorializing an event or person and in creating a monument is the location, which should be in

It always seemed a bit cliché when people speak or write on specific 'events ' that change how they viewed themselves and their world. At the surface, I often discard comments of people who see just one event changing their lives for (typically) better or worse. Events are not alone, but are part of a system of chances and choices made by ourselves or others. These choices come together and form what we perceive as a singular event. Despite this rather cold and analytical belief, I always secretly

on my past but instead, embraces it with me. I am very lucky to have met him, just like how lucky we were to be able to get a clear picture of the beautiful Mount Fuji. Hence, this picture is very valuable and significant to me. The picture also brings back all the happy memories during the Japan trip, not just the opportunity to see Mount Fuji clearly but also the pleasant weather throughout the trip.

I chose the beatitude, “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied”. I chose this beatitude due to the fact I believe that it is extremely important. Surprisingly, I realized that it is important as a result of numerous people in our society aren't fighting for what is right. For example, the lgbtq community.

Connection is the defining theme of our era. And yet, while physical barriers can hinder this connection no longer, it seems we still remain divided. Indeed, the primary restrictions of our era are not tundras or

When I first looked for a topic, it was harder than I thought. As I picked up my pen and paper everything evanesced. When the topic searching wasn’t going well, I tried to define the word family.

I thought long and hard into my family history and adorned the memory of our vacation to South Dakota, along with the activities attached to the trip. In my family narrative
