Lynn Mcgrier: A Case Study
On Saturday August 22, 2016 I had the pleasure of getting to know Lynn McGrier a student at South Carolina State University. Lynn McGrier was born in Harlem New York where she and her five siblings were raised by a single mother. Coming from a single parent household Lynn said that even though they didn’t have much her mom always made sure that there was food on the table. Four years ago Lynn and her family decided to move down south where she faced difficulties adjusting to the new environment but ultimately got the hang of things.

    Molly Mcintire: Summary

    Molly McIntire was a young girl when the war hit hard on all Americans. Many had felt the need to do what they could to help the war effort. Whether it be a victory garden or doing extra work for the troops overseas, the people in the 1940s did all they could to support World War II. Molly's mother had taken a job to help pay the bills while her husband is serving as a doctor overseas.

    Nikki Giovanni Campus Racism 101 Analysis

    Colleges and universities are no noticed for their educational status instead of their racial or social groups. Black teachers are no longer seen as a rarity on any educational environment, black students are not seen as a rarity on campus, but society has grown, or rather diminished, into assigning stereotypes to every social group; stereotypes are no longer focused on minorities. Minorities now play an integral role in colleges; at this point in time colleges are proud if a diverse campus and even advertise it. Rather than being bounded to colleges Nikki Giovanni’s concerns have moved on, leaving campuses free of racism, and exploded into society.…

    "Everyday Use" in Marxism Interpretation

    Even today, higher education is seen as a symbol of success, fortune, status, and power. Most people view others who have a higher education as “better” or of a higher social class. In “Everyday Use”, we see how education affects the family and their thoughts of class differences. Starting with Mama, whom never received an education past the second grade as her school was shut down. As members of the lower class, there is little opportunity for the family. However, Dee gets the rare opportunity to get a higher education because of money raised from their church. Maggie, her sister, has no such opportunity. Dee doesn’t associate with her family any longer because of the class differences. Dee changes her name and seems to forget where she came from and how fortunate she was for the opportunities she had.…

    Rhetorical Analysis Of Bell Hooks Keeping Close To Home

    It is quite shocking for students in college to talk about their parents with no respect. Bell Hooks, a southern black girl from a working-class background in Kentucky, who has never rode on a city bus, or even an escalator, explains her feelings about going away for college in Keeping Close to Home: Class and Education. She took her first plane ride to Stanford University where she received her bachelor’s degree. She examines and challenges intertwined assumptions about race, class, and academia. She talks about her parents along with her own feelings about leaving home and how being underprivileged at a university where most people are privileged can cause one to think hard about the decision they have made. She is credible in using ethos by giving her personal experience as an undergraduate at Stanford, and logos to connect to the audience by…

    Rrisc Intern

    However, there remains an underlying tension between students and the surrounding community. From the student perspective, there are constant threats to the safety of the student body from “locals” who have the misconception that because the student attends an expensive university, they have assets that can be taken. From the DC native perspective, Howard University students are often haughty and bourgeois and their attempts to serve the community are not rooted in true concern for the community but are used to enhance their own profile for future employment and graduate school opportunities. Once I received a holistic view of this division I decided to use my platform as the NAACP president to focus on genuine community outreach. I secured a partnership between a local high school that had majority African American and Latino students and introduced a mentorship program that focused on breaking the stigmas that local youth have of Howard students and vice versa. In addition, I started a community book club that invites both Howard students and anyone from the Shaw/Howard community to come and discuss literature that is pertinent to civic engagement and political…

    In today's world, a bachelor's degree has become the norm. I recognize that ability to attend Southern Illinois University Carbondale is a great privilege. My family is a tremendous source of inspiration for me. In a time when financial aid was unavailable, my grandfather worked many different jobs to support himself through college. As a boy, he acquainted me with the struggles he faced to attain an education. His fierce determination was what put him through college and law school. My parents, both victims of divorce, were unable to complete their education at a university. Instead, an unexpected miracle would compel them to find work and fulfill certain responsibilities.…

    Fremont High School Discussion

    For my entire life of schooling, both my parents and I would agree that I constantly complained about the educational systems in which I was enrolled. But when I actually take the time to think about everything I have been through, I realize that I have indeed had an excellent education. My schooling was full of opportunities and experiences, all of which contributed to the person I am today; adequate education has been an indispensable facet of my being. Sadly, not everyone has had this same privilege. And now as a college student, I am becoming even more aware of this sad fact. Looking around me in such a diverse city as Chicago, I find myself being more and more grateful. When I read Jonathan Kozol's Fremont High School, this these feelings were even more reassured.…

    Pantry In College

    Many of my peers go through college with adult responsibilities from the onset. We work our way through college paying rent, auto loans, and whatever other incidental expenses arise. But a combination of limited time and work experience leads to low earnings ability, which make it hard to cover all requisite expenses. The pantry acts as a buffer when we only have enough to keep the lights on. Before the pantry became a reality, I can remember weekly cycles of rationing out a box of dollar pancake mix until my next payday. I appreciate breakfast for dinner as much as anyone however, after the third night, it gets old. This doesn’t have to happen at the University of Alabama anymore. When a student, within the program, needs something to get them through a hard time, they go to the third floor of Lloyd Hall. They speak to Shannon Hubbard and she opens the doors, allowing them to get what they need. Pride exudes from this student. I pride derived from enduring a tumultuous childhood. This pride can make it difficult to ask for help; to let others know their struggle. But the pantry normalizes this experience. It tells this student that others struggle too. A discrete place where a person born out of absence can go and seek provisions, plays a vital role in the ensuring that student continues on their path. The University of Alabama is supporting foster and homeless youth well above any other University in this state. I pray that…

    Opportunity To Visit To Oberlin College

    I remember the first time that I encountered Oberlin College: I was nine-years-old and had just learned that colleges hadn’t always admitted women or African-Americans, and found that Oberlin was the first school to admit both. So, when I stumbled upon an Oberlin booth at my school’s college fair six years later, Oberlin was already a familiar name, but as I explored the options available at the school, I found that it also fits my interests.…
