Many students participate in various traditions during their time at their universities and colleges. Some scholars, however, do not possess the amount of pride for the university required to partake in the practices. Longwood University students are incredibly proud to belong to the university; therefore, they participate in the customs observed by the school. These honorable scholars avoid stepping on Rotundas and embrace stepping on black crowns for good luck. Throughout the campus, there are black crowns and blue Rotundas painted among the sidewalks. The blue Rotundas represent Longwood University and everything that comes with it, the school spirit, the pride, and the joy of being a Lancer. If one was to step on the symbol, it would be
Examining the Greek system is significant to me because Greek life is a dominant tradition in many universities, both academically and socially, and I am interested in understanding why it is so prominent here on campus. Additionally, analyzing the overall structure of the Greek System will allow me to understand why students feel inclined to become a member of these organizations while others don’t. In order to comprehend this student subcult...
I visited the Fremont High School campus in Sunnyvale today as they were having their Flex period. I was fortunate to have the principal, Bryan Emmert, walk me around the entire time and talk about the process; I then met with a few teachers afterwards to get their insights.
The Vestibule leading to this entrance hall is identical to the entrance of the Temple of Erectheus on the Acropolis of Athens. The statues in the deep niches, carved by Frederick MacMonnies, combine “American idealism with the elegance of Second Empire Style and is in advanced realm by their lack of enframement or paneling.” The vaulted entrance hall, which leads to the grand staircase, is segmented into three aisles and is clad in Iowa sandstone. The arched central aisle has the names of prominent Bostonians inscribed on them.
The book begins by sharing a tradition at Frank K. Ballou High School, the annual academic awards ceremony. The school hosts these ceremonies in hopes
When candidates are competing for an award, a job, or an honor, they often use the qualities of their character as evidence as to why they deserve it. I certainly understand and believe in the necessity of qualifications; however, I have also always believed that having a plan of what one will do with a certain honor is an integral part of deserving it. That is why this essay is not about my previous accomplishments. This essay is a declaration of my ideas to serve as a representative of Seton Hill University by making the community, state, and country a better place for all.
Class of 2012, as we sit here this evening, I would like you to take a look at the classmates sitting around you. Many students have given countless hours of time, energy, and passion to worthy cuases that they have been a part of throughout high school. However, those aren't the only students deserving of recognition this evening. We have students here tonight, who have taken a stand for what they believe in, not even hesitating to compromise their reputations.

For this purpose the architecture plays an important role. Designing this building so that it is reminiscent of the Romanesque and Gothic style makes a lot of sense for this type of building. Not only does the building itself reference an important historical time period, but this design also highlights the building and makes it very recognizable from other buildings in the area. These aspects help it serve its purpose as one of the signature Smithsonian buildings and one of the administrative centers.
Leading through enthusiasm has been particularly effective in trying to get the freshman excited about things in which they are uninterested. In particular, we have had issues obtaining a strong base of students for Hall Council. Williamson don’t have the established Hall Council that the dorms with older residents have, which means that any advertisement is going to come from the Hall Staff. The night of the first Hall Council ...
The Rotunda’s dome is 58 feet high with a skylight 20 feet across on top, which has been restored recently into a bright colored stained glass design. The museum had its first grand opening on November 6, 1913 and was called “The Los Angeles County Museum of History, Science, and Art. It was formally opened to the public. The museum was joined by other major cultural facilities in the park; the Memorial Coliseum, Sports Arena, Swimming Stadium, California Science Center, California African American Museum and the largest Municipal-Owned Rose Garden in the nation, with a beautiful water fountain in the center. As I walk into the museum onto the first level, there are many different halls surrounding.
One year, I tagged along with my parents when they drove my brother and sister to Worldview Academy. Unfortunately, I forgot about the incident. That all changed, though, when I found myself enrolled at the same academy my siblings had previously attended. Since then, I have returned three times and this year served as my third and final “term”. After my enrollment, I concluded that I had discovered an anomaly, for I had never found myself more comfortable in a crowd of perfect strangers, nor so intrigued with academic subjects or experienced such an exhilarating time evangelizing as I had at the academy.
The first accomplishment I am most proud of is my acceptance into the Honors College of West Chester University. I could hardly contain my excitement when on a normal Saturday morning I received a call from Dr. Kevin Dean notifying me of my acceptance into the Honors College Program. On that day I became part of a small group of students who stood out above the rest of the incoming freshman class. From then on it would be my duty to bring pride to the University I solemnly
Students should know this place when they are on campus life. This place was known as the soul to the ISU campus student body,” Memorial Union”. MU was Located in the front of the middle line. It was the biggest activity center and central building on campus now. Opened in September 1928, memorial union was a building that was used as a memorial to the sacrificed Iowa State soldiers. As a land granted school by the government, Iowa State University has had not entertaining center before 1920, because the university only has academic buildings and farm buildings. There is no place for both students and faculties to gather for cultural, entertainment or social events. So people start to think of a building that can be used for these purposes. Finally, when the project of Memorial Union was settled; ISU decided not only use the building as a memorial to the honorable soldiers, but also a super center for students. Nowadays, it became the memorial, living art, and camp of the student life. The best place for students to spend their time.
As a young undergraduate, I attempted to prove myself as a hardworking student by attending my courses focused and well prepared, and conducting my assignments as required. Through my undergraduate studies, I was fortunate to participate in several student and voluntary activities. Furthermore, determinant to acquire relevant practical experience, I trained and worked at several establishments applying my theoretical ed...
When asked to write a narrative essay describing a meaningful experience and how this experience will affect my time and contribution to UF, without hesitation I knew the moment. On May 25, 2006 I became a graduate of Bell High School and that evening as I drove out of the small rural town, I glanced in my rearview mirror and knew immediately that life was just beginning. From my first day of Kindergarten until the final bell of my senior year; countless people along the way selflessly gave of their time and God-given talent to mold me both academically and spiritually. I'd love to take this opportunity to introduce you to a few of these individuals through the eyes of a grateful and inspired student.
