    Dr. Rosales has taken a very tough role of trying to raise completion rates and foster student success at Oak Community College in Pennsylvania. It takes a worthy leader to be able to turn around completion rates in just one year. Not only does Dr. Rosales have to refocus administrators, faculty, and staff but he also must work to lead the students as well. Community colleges face so many challenges in the twenty-first century. Over ninety-five percent of all American community colleges have an open-admissions policy (Bragg & Durham, 2012). Because of this, community colleges hold a unique niche in higher education. Community college is the jumping off point for all students regardless of socioeconomic status, race, religion, gender,…

A Rosa park was an inspiration to all the black people of the United States but without knowing it she was making a difference for colored people for women and for humanity.

    William Faulkner explains why the story is not about him, but his details about a lonely poor woman named Miss Emily is very unpredictable. Miss Emily is unable to grip the idea of death and suffers from denial. After the death of her father, the people from the town expected her to be in a state of grief but she is not. Instead, she proceeds to say that her father is very well with her and alive. William Faulkner’s idea of grieving is clear in this story because he shows his audience that it is better to accept death than to ignore it through the accounts of Miss Emily’s journey. William Faulkner’s story takes place in the South, during a time period of racial discrimination and major changes. By using reader response criticism, a reader can analyze “A Rose for Emily” through the aspects of the secret held within the story, race found through anthropology, and gender found through anthropology.…
