This was primarily due to matching grants and strong dedication from JSA student leaders. It was a grassroots effort with many individual contributions under $50. Next year, I hope to further improve the State Fundraising initiative on StayClassy and set new records.

She became a voice for the people who put their life on the line while working at Rocky Flats.

People would find it hard to believe how someone who has made something of themselves would just give everything up and start a journey into the wilderness. Well that was the story behind Chris McCandless. Chris decided to drop his very successful college life and losing all links with his old life. Chris took a two year journey that went as far as to Mexico and ended in the the woods of Alaska. Some may believe that McCandless went into the wild because he was suicidal or faced a mental illness, but I believe that, he just wanted to find himself as a person so this journey was necessary.
In life some feel the need to prove something to others. That they are better, stronger, or even more intelligent. Whatever the case may be people will go through extreme measures to prove themselves. But who do we really need to prove anything to? Is it our parents?
Governor Flaubus had the National Guard go to a school in Arkansas so blacks could not go to The Little Rock High School.

Noel, a 6-month old golden retriever, arrives on the front porch step of SICSA with a gleefully wagging tail and a heart bursting with love. Unfortunately, no room exists at SICSA for Noel, and they must turn her away to a shelter that can only do one thing: euthanize her. The argument over whether or not communities should institute no-kill shelters presents itself all over Ohio.

However, in reality, no-kill shelters lower the overall costs of animal control with multiple methods.

Over the following decades, Mount Everest has been seen as an opportunity for commercialization. You can now pay thousands of dollars for an experienced climber to guide you up the mountain, along with Sherpas to help you carry your things.

Imagine, sitting in your history class, while your Nobel Peace prize winner professor lectures about Hitler then he starts talking about how Hitler did nothing wrong. Then your professor provides a convincing argument to support his view, contradicting years of teachers, friends, and family telling you that he killed millions of people. How would you react to this information? Huxley's novel supports the view that “dystopia” is in the eye of the beholder. However, Orwell's novel does not support the view that “dystopia” is in the eye of the beholder.

New York owns a complex underground subway, Boston and Chicago control advanced rail systems, and Atlanta leans more favorably towards cars. However in more recent years, people have been switching to bicycles as their primary transportation because it offers reliability and energy efficiency. Unfortunately, cyclists and drivers are forced to share the same roads, even though both vehicles demand an entirely different infrastructure for safe travelling. As a result of such problems, 726 bicyclists were killed in 2012 plus an additional 49,000 were injured in motor vehicle crashes, and the number of cyclists killed in 2012 was 6 percent higher than the previous year (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration).
Offenders under 21 years of age cannot be sentenced to detention unless the sentencing judge is of the opinion no other sentence is appropriate.

Play Through The Pain In the United States it is required that all children must be in school until they have graduated from high school.
