My grandmother, Sarah Adams Abernethy, has been traveling since her aunt took her and her sister to London when they were young. Ever since she has loved to travel. Two of her favorite trips she took were to Israel and Ireland. She loved Israel because she felt very touched that she was in the same place Jesus was once at. Her favorite part was either the Tomb in the Gardens or the Jordan river. She loved walking over the mountain in Galilee and seeing the beautiful green trees and the stunning river. She took home with her a 5-gallon gas can of the Jordan River. My whole family and I were baptized in that water. Another trip she loved was when she visited Ireland. She loved how it was just a luscious green everywhere. You could

Yvonne Allen does not have any right to wear her headscarf in her licence photo due to the security issues it would create. She believes that her rights are being infringed upon, but doesn't realize that a licence is a privilege not a right. It is hard to argue this fact when it says literally nowhere in any law or precedent that any U.S. citizen has any right to a licence. Allen only uses two defenses one of which is how her faith is tested “in a way that was humiliating and demeaning”(8), a judge will never consider this as a good defense on why she should get her licence, because it is based on emotions not law. Her other defense was how Muslim women were allowed to wear their own headscarves in their driver's license photos, but this seems

My personal memoir was written from the perspective of Anna Louw. I chose the scene in which she took Toby to the party. I decided on this excerpt from the book due to the fact that this was the first day that Anna had ever met Toby. I showed her little knowledge of who Toby was by having her call him Mr. Hood until she had to introduce him to someone else. I wanted to express her feelings of the party and to show her worries of bringing Toby, a man she had just met, to a party with many races of people.
Those who take the time to fully examine the Holocaust, and its exemplary survivors deal with the unsettling knowledge that those before them over looked. Between the years of 1933 to 1947, the holocaust prospered through many countries in Europe, including the proximity of one survivor’s homeland, Poland. Alicia: My Story by Alicia Appleman-Jurman is historically famous for it’s shocking relevance throughout its background. It has also been infamous for its brutal unvarnished truth by well-known book reviews, but overall it’s cultural impact on the world has shown it is a lesson that should be known by all.
Ever since I was young, I have always heard someone talking about Marquette. Part of this may be due to the fact that three of my neighbors have gone to Marquette and have absolutely loved it. Adding on to that, I have met even more people that have gone to Marquette that have really liked it and are usually successful in life. I met even more people at the Marquette open house that were from all over the United States and said they went to Marquette and they hope their child will attend Marquette as well. This made me realize that Marquette is truly local, since I know several people that have gone to Marquette that live by me and at the same time it is global, since I have met people around the United States, as well as other countries that
Imagine moving across the continent to go to school. Jessica Stupar, an international student from Sprucegrove, Alberta, Canada, chose to come to America to pursue her dream of becoming a collegiate softball player. Despite the few differences between the United States and Canada, Stupar has seem to come in contact with several needs for clarification when it comes to stereotypes. Stupar’s life-long dream is to play softball in college and North Central Missouri College has made that a possibility for her. It seems crazy to think that someone from Canada would come to Trenton, Missouri.
People know that Stargirl is different, Stargirl teaches me that being myself is perfect. She wears different clothes, she meditates, she does what makes her content and from my knowledge teenagers don’t usually do those things. In a way I am a Stargirl, I don’t do all the things that Stargirl does, because I am different in my own way. When Stargirl came into the cafeteria, she was different and stood out.

When I was seven, I asked my mom why she had come to America from Ethiopia. She told me that she had come so that I could have things that she didn’t, get the education she couldn’t, and see and do things she wouldn’t. I told her that I was going to make her proud and even though I was seven, I was stubborn, and set my goals high and worked hard. I will forever remember my mother crying as I got my college acceptance letters. Now, as a junior at Old Dominion College as an international affairs major, I’m setting to make her proud again.
