a better college campus than Eureka College. Saint Louis University has much better food than Eureka College does. When I visited SLU I realized how great the food was. All of the food tasted like it was prepared by hand, and there were a lot of different dinning options. Eureka, on the other hand, has a lot less dinning options. Also, the food at the college wasn’t very good, and most of it wasn’t prepared by hand. Saint Louis University is also a much better size than Eureka College. The undergraduate

For example, a Shakespearean tragic hero in real-life would be Robin Williams, a famous comedian who was adored by all. Essentially, nobility is distinguished by being upper class and having elevated character.

As a student, she doubts her ability to create a life for herself outside of her comfort zone. However, Keegan reaches an ‘aha’ or eureka moment. Her thoughts and actions transition from fear to a state of peace and confidence. As represented in Keegan’s essay, maturity is not defined by age; it is the capacity to
