It was around 5 o’clock in the evening when I arrived home one day. I walked in my room and proceeded to taking off that itchy shirt and those restrictive skinny jeans. I then decided to put on the laziest articles of clothing I could find.

As I sprawled out on my bed hoping to sleep till the next century, a song came on that I had yet

The Menominee, or “wild rice people,” are the original inhabitants of Wisconsin and Upper Michigan. There remain about 7000 Menominee people today, of which very few still speak Algonquian, the native language (Native Languages of the Americas). The polysynthetic language is mostly continued on by the tribal elders. The Menominee people are a

My close friend was going on a trip to California to get his senior pictures taken. He asked me to go and of course I said yes. The flight took off in Grand Rapids and landed in Texas. We got onto a different plane there and we were on our way to Cali. The first night we were there it was really late, so we just went to bed. The next day we walked down to the kitchen and were introduced to everyone in the house. Another family that I didn’t know about and I met them. The oldest was Turner, who became

Ethics of Nanotechnology Nanotechnology is actually a fairly new idea. This may not seem like any big deal in terms of ethics, but just like any type of scientific advancement there are positives and negatives. Of course the ethical issues don’t stem out of just the fact that this is a new kind of science.
