When I was planning my senior project I knew I wanted to make something I could keep and use for myself but I wasn’t quite sure who would be my mentor. Then I thought it would be special to do something like this with my grandpa who is now 84 years old and has 40+ years of experience with construction. He even built his home that he and my grandmother are living in today, in 1954. My grandpa started making canes for himself, to donate and just for fun and I thought it will be cool to make myself

1990s Sports A lot happened in the 1990s, both good and bad. Whether it be historically or in something such as sports.

In the 1990s a lot of crazy stuff happened such as the OKC bombing, riots in LA, and the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. The OKC bombing in 1995 was one of several terrorist events that happened in the 1990s

Princely Power Niccolo Machiavelli's The Prince contains a very unique section entitled "Princely Virtues" in which Machiavelli takes on a how-to approach in regards to becoming a prince.

phones and pagers in schools as an attempt to stop communication between drug dealers (Ballaro, Ginsburg). According to Patricia O’Neill, a Montgomery school board member, “[t]here was a view that only drug dealers and gang members had cell phones” (de Vise).

The earlier kids learn it the better so it will stick with them forever. “There also

Regardless of what ventures, it is important to have a job. Periods of rest are therapeutic only if one was previously engaged in something constructive. The pay of a job matters little, but any job saves one from the pains of boredom and idleness.

What is more satisfying is getting a job in the area of your interest. In

Måten han har strukturerthandlingen og trekker paralleller mellom hvordan den stygge andungen i eventyret og hvordan han selv kan ha
Humans believe that they are the dominant race. Yes, there are many humans on earth, but that doesn’t mean we are largest race on the planet. Yes, humans are quite intelligent, but there are animals that prove that they can outwit humans. Yes, humans are high up on the food chain, but we aren’t the top.
