9/11 Week Reflection
This week included much activity with meetings, rain and the storm that never happened. Monday began with a Right on Crime communications meeting. It was interesting to sit through and hear what all was going on throughout the RoC organization. Then I went back to my desk to try and finish out the TPPF communications project I had been working on since Thursday. After lunch, I was informed about another weekly meeting with RoC, the policy call was also informative and I learned about what some of our signatories are doing in their states and areas. Following that Call, I finished out the day by finishing the communications project. Tuesday started out ordinary and I was able to finally begin the reading for the Thinking Economically class. Then it was time …show more content…
Once done with lunch and panic mode I continued reading and researching HB 48. Last Friday Derick had given me an assignment to write eight hundred words on HB 48 and I wanted to get started on the research. Then I left early at 2pm just as the rest of the office did since there was much panic over the weather. Wednesday I opted to work from home since while TS Bill passed us there was talk that the tail end of the storm would drench us, but alas, TS Bill once again faked out the weather experts. While at home I read more of the Thinking Economically assignments until Shannon emailed me with a new project that had me putting all our ROC supporters and their email addresses into a spreadsheet. While working on that Gregg Gold contacted me regarding a previous assignment that was put on the back burner and requested it be completed. Thursday morning started off with me finishing the project for Gregg and then the intern meeting at 10 am with The Center for Education Freedom where we learned all about school choice and the obstacles to passing the bill in this last legislative

    Andrea, I like the paragraph you pulled from the book because it really sheds light on the major changes of how life is lived now. To Ish, the great disaster is something he has experiences first hand where the younger members of the tribe have only heard of what happened. As generations continue the great disaster becomes history, another event in a book. The first hand experience is gone because all who lived during it have pasted. There is a world of difference between experiencing something and being told about something. It reminds me of 9/11, being that freshmen entering high school this past year are the first class to learn about 9/11 as history because they were not alive during it. It’s a foreign concept for me to think that student…

    America has a history of misleading the common people to gain public support. Whether rallying its citizens to fight the Nazis in Germany or to fight communism in Korea, the United States has, for the most part, been considered righteous. But the United States and more importantly the people that govern it, have had ulterior motives. The most prominent example was in the early 2000s on the tragic day of September 11. 9/11 was one of the most infamous incidents ever which unified the nation behind our president, George Bush. He used fear and anger tactics to provoke mainstream media into blindly supporting an invalid war against and invisible enemy. After 9/11 America wanted revenge and it was widely believed that the terrorist attacks were…

    September 11th of 2001 was a day that nobody will ever forget. It was a day full of tragedy, loss, and grief. We have always been told that Osama Bin Laden and many other terrorists were the cause behind the tragic events of this day. We have always been told that he was the leader and the “bad guy”, and we have always believed it. Perhaps we have believed it because he was wanted in connection with the August 7, 1998 bombing of the United States Embassies in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, and Nairobi, Kenya. What if this was not the case? What if it was a cover up by our own government system?…

    Hearing the event from the perspective of a person who wasn’t directly affected or near the crash introduces a whole new type of experience. People, who like my parents, only received notice of the crash because of a family member they had no idea was in any kind of danger. My parents, at the time, weren’t aware of the importance of the Twin Towers or this possibility of a new worry of terrorism. They were able to be reassured simply by the fact that every loved one in the U.S then was okay. This particular perspective added to my knowledge of the personal experiences of the event, how the impact of the event can immediately increase because of a loved one being involved. Another detail from the interview that added to my knowledge was my mom…

    Was 9/11 a big mistake? America still reels from the attack on our sense of security, the devastating event an abrupt betrayal of our trust in social respect. Before the act of terrorism, we trusted that everyone was doing what they could for the good of humankind, if not for the nation. With the fall of the World Trade Center came the mistrust of a religious group that gradually expanded to any random stranger on the street. The general fear the public has of a crime with no aim, an attack on our nerves, has grown exponentially since that first breach of common good, but the real question is, what have we learned from such an event?…

    The first thing that I accomplished this month was getting two resolution ideas cleared to start writing the initial resolution. My two ideas were, to extend the hours at Fresh Fusion so it is open later week nights and to be open for lunch on the weekends. The second resolution idea was to have the farmers market to come onto campus multiple times within the month. I plan to present both these ideas at the next public senate meeting. This is an exciting time for me since these are the first two resolution ideas I have brought up to the president of senate. I am excited to finally start helping the students of GCU by extending the…

    It’s Monday, December 9th. Today just seems unusual, like something big is going to happen! I wonder what it will be for a split second, then go back to studying for the Latin America quiz we have tomorrow. Mr. Fielder announces what questions we should highlight on our worksheets. I watch him go back to his desk. I look up and out the window, I see the glistening shimmer of fresh snow dancing in the sky. I cherish every second of it, wishing the time would go by slower. As time creeps closer to 12:20 p.m., the more I shudder at the thought of having to go to room 224. I finish making my flashcards, using splendid handwriting, and proper spelling and grammar. The clock whispers 12:18 p.m. in my ear, I turn white as a ghost.…
