The Trevor Project

of 2016, CNN has released statistics on states that have, do not have, and are completely against having gender-neutral restrooms. This is where the “gender neutral bathroom initiative” comes into play. The Gender Neutral Bathrooms Initiative is a project to ensure that every student can have a place where they feel safe using the bathroom.

University). I was honored to be admitted to the dual degree program of Shanghai Jiao Tong University and the University of Michigan in 2013. During my freshman and sophomore years at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, I led some embedded system related projects, and developed small applications on different kinds of microprocessors. Writing software that is so close to hardware made me curious about how these microprocessor’s internal architecture works. Therefore, I declared my major in Computer Engineering

In the modern world, violence is an everyday occurrence, and the video game Grand Theft Auto not only promotes violence and aggression, but it also normalizes it, creating a negative impact on society. Video games have gained a lot of popularity as of late, nearly every person has some sort of gaming device, whether that is a console, handheld device, or even just a smartphone. Consequently, the act of playing video games regularly has become accepted as ordinary in today’s culture. It seems strange

In my opinion, Walt Disney should be “Person of the Room” because of the great impact he has had on the world. He has created a company so great that it is known worldwide. Now, this is obviously not the reason he should be recognized, he deserves to be recognized because of how he has used this power. Walt Disney and his thriving company have brought happiness to adults and children alike everywhere. Whether it be through the entertainment industry, or through all of their charitable work, they

the New York Times’ article by Andrew E. Kramer, one reads about the financial growth Russia faces after a long time of recession.

The LGBT community is one of the most diverse communities out there. We’re a bunch of misfits of all different ages and races, but we share one commonality. We’re some of the most accepting people you can find. Through the events at Stonewall and years of discrimination, the LGBT community has stood strong.

His “pay it forward” idea spread and affected hundreds of lives of people he had never and would never meet.
