interest in nursing began at age 18 at Bridgeport Hospital in Connecticut where I was trained as a Certified Care Partner, then as a Phlebotomist, followed by a two year surgical floor assignment and a one year burn unit stint. When I moved to New Hampshire, I worked full time at Plymouth State College and took night courses towards a BSN for one and a half years. I postponed my education for eight years while I was a wife and mother. After divorcing, I returned to P.S.C. to continue taking courses

Frequently skiing and traveling in northern New Hampshire, I got to see a whole lot of the White Moutnains. The White Mountains of New Hampshire are mountains that take up about a quarter of the state and are home to animals, humans, ski resorts, hiking trails, and many other attractions. They are called the White Mountains because of two reasons: The highest peak (Mount Washington) is often snow-covered for most of the year, so when settlers first came to the New World, that is what they saw.

Jabez Stone was from Cross Corners, which makes both Webster and Stone from New Hampshire. As you read you see that Jabez has had the worst luck if he was to grow corn they would get borer.

He was an essentially pastoral poet who was often associated with rural New England. Frost wrote poems of a philosophical region.

The reason for the lack of set is so the audience can use there imagination of what the town of Grover’s Corner, New Hampshire looks like.

Robert Frost, a poet and modernist, uses nature as a symbol for humanity in his proms.

My job was to introduce Elizabeth Dole, who at the time was interested in running for president. I was notified the day before the event and so had only one night to write and memorize my speech.

the movie Wade Whitehouse states his love for his daughter many times. It would have helped to have flashback scenes, to feel Wade’s emotions and urging to be a good father. The setting takes place during the winter in a small town in upstate New Hampshire. The director made a good move by using the effect of winter and snow, which contributed to the character of Wade Whitehouse. The gloominess in the midst of winter made Wade’s depression, loneliness, and uncertainty about his life come together

There are also six states that have never elected a woman to federal office, (Rothschild, p.2). They are Alaska, Iowa, Vermont, New Hampshire, Delaware, and Mississippi.
