If anyone looked at me they would think I am an ordinary college student. I wake up every morning wishing to get a couple more seconds of sleep. I make my way to school I listen, I learn, I make my way back home and I study, or depending on the day I go to work. Some days are as simple and relaxing as these, but some are not. Some days I wish to get hours of sleep, I can sleep for 9 hours and still manage to not want to get out of bed. If I could I would just lay there all day and cry. But it is
Andrew Young Jr.: One of the Many Spiritual Leaders of The Civil Rights Movement When I think about the civil rights movement a few prominent names come to mind, Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks, and Malcom X.

Rooted in the spirituality of African-Americans, the civil rights movement called upon the entire community

Reflecting on my reasoning on why I wanted to become a member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Incorporated I knew that I had to speak on all of the women who have instilled some type of morals and values that A Delta woman holds. It was the way they walked, talked, and cared for me like their own and their ability to be selfless. Seeing the way these women have made others and myself feel was convincing enough for me to be sold on my decision to take this path. Sisterhood is key within the women
Inequality and racism have always been present in the history of America. Many people battle these injustices through different forms, such as writing, speaking, or protesting. Martin Luther King, Jr., and Frederick Douglass are both experienced in writing and speaking against certain injustices. In Martin Luther King, Jr.’s “Letter From a Birmingham Jail,” as well as in Frederick Douglass’s “What to the Slave, is the Fourth of July?” they claim that injustice and inequality must be combatted in
“Sisters” to most people would mean girls who share the same parents, but with sorority girls, “sisters” are the members in your sorority who share a bond between each and every one of them. I am a member of Delta Zeta sorority, I joined at the University of West Georgia but still feel the bond between me and my sorority sisters. Sisterhood means the world to the girls in sororities and it is an extraordinary thing to behold despite the fact that it may mean something else entirely to everyone else

What do you consider living or nonliving. Scientist have been trying to categorize everything in two categories living and nonliving. Some things are easy to identify such as a rock or an animal everyone knows which is living. But sometimes it’s not that easy to identify, like in the case of viruses. Are viruses living or nonliving? That is a question that has brought a lot of terrifying debates.There is no precise definition of what separates the living from the non-living. But for many reason I
The Uncertainty principle In 1927, Werner Heisenberg was working at Bohr’s research institute in Copenhagen, Denmark. Neil Bohr and Heisenberg were working closely together on theoretical investigations of quantum theory and nature of physics. Heisenberg was left back at the centre alone when Bohr was away skiing.

Biodiversity is simply defined as the number and variability of organisms within a defined area. The amount of biodiversity that is present can help to define an area’s richness and productivity. Several factors that help an influence over biodiversity include climate, an area’s isolation, the vegetation structure, and size of the area. Generally, there are more organisms in a warm and moist environment and biodiversity will decline as the climate moves away from the ideal range of conditions. Isolation
Scientific Reliability and Validity Scientific reliability can be defined as the degree to which a measurement produces consistency. As understood by Branson (2014) a measurement that is found to be stable in the same setting and with the same sample size can be considered reliable. Thus, further meaning that any device that gives the same repeated results under the same conditions is reliable. Such an example is often demonstrated by the weighing scale, which sometimes lack validity but still produce
