simple puzzle. However, to some, it may seem more problematic with the minimum evidence provided. In 1999, a high school student was found dead and Sarah Koenig, along with many others spent over a year investigating this case. What day, time, area, and who connects to this case that makes it so difficult to solve? The gist of this case was that Hae Min Lee went missing one day after school and her ex-boyfriend, Adnan Syed must have been at fault. He was charged because he seems to be the most equitable

direct service skills. After CAICC, I worked at FACETS as a Case Manager and Program Coordinator, part of the Educational Community Development Team. At FACETS, I supervised a community center at the largest public housing complex in Fairfax County. I collaborated with Fairfax County Public Schools and local agencies to find the best methods and resources to tailor services to each child.

Labaree discusses how the United State’s education is in a school syndrome, as people in America want schools to teach society’s ideals as well as let people express their individuality. These two demands are polar opposites that cannot be achieved. As the focus goes towards balancing these in hopes of improving society as a whole, the
I participated in a police ride-along with the Fairfax County Police Department on October 30th. I chose the Fair Oaks District Station for the ride since my home falls within that particular district’s boundaries. At 8 p.m., I was introduced to Officer Crutchman; the police officer I would be accompanying for the night. We headed out after a brief overview of some safety rules and expectations. Over the course of the shift I was able to observe many of the routine duties of a FCPO such as responding

A study showed that 53 percent of transgender students have experienced verbal assault in public facilities while 8 percent have experienced physical assault. Many transgender students now avoid public bathrooms because of the fear of being harassed or assaulted.

science courses, specifically Anatomy and Physiology, Biochemistry, and Medical Nutrition Therapy, I became very interested in the medical aspect of nutrition. I have a background in food service and after starting my independent study with Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS), I have returned my focus back to this principle. I have realized that I would like my focus to be on preventative medicine/nutrition. I think the best way I can achieve this focus is by working with and educating children. If

Some parents feel like football is a positive sport to be involved in as the game, while other parents feel like football is a dangerous sport. Parents should let their kids play football because the rewards outweigh the risks of playing football. First, football has become increasingly safer in the past years due to new ImPACT testing (ImPACT). ImPACT may be administered multiple times after a clinician has diagnosed

there are between six and seven thousand languages being spoken around the world. Millions of children all over the world are learning a second or even third language beginning before they reach high school. For instance, China has more than two hundred million students studying English in elementary school, while the United States has a mere twenty-four thousand learning Chinese (Glod 1). The lack of bilingualism has become an ever-increasing problem in the United States’ ability to compete globally

What is even more worrisome is the fact that in the 2007-08 school year, only 25 percent of primary schools offered classes in foreign language (Rhodes and Pufahl), most of which are merely introductory classes (Edvantia). In addition, according to the Education Commission of the States (ECS), in 2007 the high school graduation requirements for 36 states either did not include foreign language study or the study of foreign language was

The problems they faced and risks they took changed the course of our country and shaped it to what it is today. George Washington was born into a wealthy and prestigious family. He was the first male offspring of Augustine Washington’s second marriage. As a young child
“The” Known Unknown of the World Racism has been and always will be a form of segregation concurrently and in the history of humanity. From Ancient times to current, the status of segregation by some means of oppression privied by power, wealth, and prestige has been as second nature as drinking water. While Coates has his own perspective of reality and its structure, it’s interesting that a so called genius had taken almost 30 years to finally see the true nature of “the beast” he frequented. That
