Stories from the Civil War often are told from a man's perspective and rarely from a woman's point of view. In 1902, Susie King Taylor wrote her memoir, Reminiscences of My Life in Camp with the 33d United States Colored Troops Late 1st S. C. Volunteers, to explain her role in the war as a wife to a soldier, the regiments' laundress, a teacher, and a nurse. Taylor is famously known for being the first black nurse during the Civil War, but her memoir gives historians a closer look at her life and multiple roles during the war. In 1848, Taylor was born into slavery in Savannah, Georgia.
In the text, it is about why colleges and/or professors seem to give out A’s to students. It could also cause the value of grades inflate. Staples explains what seems to be the problem as well as showing what could be a solution. Staples wants reader to understand colleges are starting to be devalued. He goes on to emphasize why the colleges/professors feel forced to give in and give students A’s, why it will not change.
Camp-X, a WWII spy training facility located in Whitby, Ontario, was a key part of the allied forces efforts in the war. “In fact, it was a finely tuned machine turning highly qualified recruits into fully trained secret service agents of all ethnic backgrounds, readied and made available to the SOE (Special Operations Executive) on a moment’s notice.” Although it was a highly secretive undertaking during and after WWII information finally started to be made available over the last 20 years. This essay will outline the role Camp-X played in the war, how spies for many allied countries were trained, and why it was an important location for British and American forces. Camp-X was a paramilitary training installation run by Sir William Stephenson
Supporting our camping program is the evaluation process completed at each Kanawha County Camp measuring essential elements and lifeskills. This instrument evaluates whether the camp itself contains one or more of the elements needed to achieve positive outcomes in youth. After years of assessments, Kanawha County camps are productive, safe, educational and inclusive environments yet Kanawha has a lower than average representation of male campers at camp. At the state level, 4-H camps tend to have, on average, 38%. In younger residential camp, male campers tend to make between 30% and 35% of the campers.
There are many explorations taken in the Grand Canyon trying to learn to learn more about the earth’s crust and how it is formed. In Timothy Egan and Casey Egan’s article they give evidence that science is helping us to understand the age of the earth, “The rock floor is around 1.8 billion years old. At the rim, the Kailbab formation is 270 million years old”(Timothy Egan and Casey Egan). Many scientists also go to parks like Yellowstone National Park and Yosemite National Park to study wildlife and different plant species. “Whether this park would continue to be a living thing, with its nearly 750 plant species, was perhaps out of our control”(Timothy Egan and Casey Egan).
The Keck Geology Consortium is dedicated to enhancing the diversity of future scientific communities and sharing our science with a broader audience. Please describe how you, based on your personal background and life experiences (including social, cultural, familial, educational, or other opportunities or challenges) will contribute to this mission during and after participation in a Keck research project. Six years ago, I made the life-changing decision to join my local 4-H club. At the time, I didn’t realize just how valuable this experience would be and what an impact it would have on my life.
As a freshman, I wanted to feel like I could make Texas A&M my new home and feel accepted. However, I was horrified to go to Fish Camp and I was horrified to start school. But after Fish Camp, I was excited to make more friends and strengthen those that were made at camp. The reason I am applying to be a Fish Camp counselor is because I want to be able to make incoming students that felt the same way I did know that they are meant to be here.
I'm a cautious person. Before this summer I had never stepped outside of my comfort zone. The longest I had been away from my family was for a week in the fifth grade when my entire class went to camp, and even then I was surrounded by familiar faces and friends. That is why when I was awarded the honor to attend the American Legion Auxiliary Girls' State camp, I was wary of experiencing such a big change. After being dropped off at the MSU dorms on the first day I was left with a HUGE feeling of angst and dread.
A brief description of geology is the study of Earth's physical structure. The Apollo missions allowed scientists to understand the planet further. The missions gave access to the formation of materials on other planets giving them an idea of how our planet was formed. Professor Smith, a geologist from the University of Chicago proclaims,” In general,
In 2009 I was not like all my friends who wanted to be Soldiers, Doctors,Teachers, Police Officers and Fireman. I wanted to be a Biomedical Engineer at seven years old. At seven years old I had goals set for what I wanted to do and why I wanted to do it. Camp Med sparked a interest in me because of the fact that I would be learning and have a first hand witness on what Biomedical Engineering is like and the Rehabilitation specialty. The surgical techniques and the foundation of a medical students is what I am striving for.
First off, thank you so much for taking the time to consider me to work at the Jameson Camp. I am so excited to potentially work here for several reasons. First, I am extremely passionate about helping children and teenagers who may need a little extra help, whether that be to find their passions, or to help them just get through life in one piece, as life can be challenging on its own, but even more so when the odds seem to be against you. I believe that this passion is highlighted in the fact that I wish to be a school counselor after I am finished with schooling. This leads to my second point, which is that I believe that this would be a valuable experience for me because it would be an experience that pertains to my end goal career-wise.
“All we are is a result of what we have thought”, and all that we have thought is a result of our perceptions of reality. All my life, as I worked toward understanding exactly who I was, I developed the enduring desire to become a physician. Today I sit here; an expression of the moments in time that have come together to make me what I am, and I try to weave my dreams into the person I am to become. At 4 years old, I was a bookworm. I had a doctorate in the philosophy of Dr. Seuss.
I have always wanted to serve in law enforcement. It was something that I have wanted to do since childhood and I finally got my chance in 2012 at the age of 54. First, there was the academy, where I had to learn all the State and Federal laws to include the United States Constitution. Then it was off to the gun range to learn how to shoot tactically followed by defensive tactics. The final stage was learning how to apply and administer criminal procedures in accordance with my State requirements for Law Enforcement.
A second paid opportunity I have had serving children has been working as summer camp counselor for the past three summers. Each summer since May 2013, Warren W. Willis United Methodist Summer Camp has provided me with the opportunity to mentor a wide variety of children ranging in ages from rising fourth grade to newly graduated high school seniors. Here I have taken on many roles of mentor, advocate, listener, friend, small group leader, activities facilitator, etc. Here I have interacted with children and adolescents of all backgrounds and cultures.
As a seventh grader I attended a three day overnight event known as June Jam. Little did I know this camp would help me to discover my passion and change my life. This camp introduced me to drug and alcohol abuse prevention. I left this camp inspired to make a change. I joined high school STOP as a freshman and I immediately started to get involved.
