The community is small but the location is prime real estate being centrally located by the interstate as well as truck parking. Competing with the likes of McDonald’s, Subway, and Sonic cause the business to have serious competition. Allowing individuals to smoke at the tables has also caused to help lose some business.

...By SENGA K unle said a silent prayer as he followed Baba John on this journey that could only be made in the dead of the night. Their progress was further hindered by overgrowths that have taken over the narrow path leading into the heart of the dense jungle. His mind was blank this time as he followed his escort into the dark forest just a few minutes past 1:00am. He had thought so much about his boy that every other thought have been banished from his troubled heart. Even the thought of his beautiful wife Margaret failed to cross his mind. All he could see, hear and think about was Peter! Peter!!Peter!!! The picture of his son sitting in that darkened room flashed across his mind. He has been in a sort of a trance for the past 3 days. From all indication, he was not even aware that he has left his house in Lagos and is now sitting on the un-cemented floor of a mud house in their village in Odigbo. He responds to nothing but the voice only he could hear. Suddenly, Baba John, his escort on this scary midnight journey signaled for him to stop. He peered into the darkness ahead, though he could see how anyone could see anything in the pitch blackness that surrounds them. Baba John began to say the same incantation he said earlier before they left their village. After about a minute, he signaled for them to resume their journey. Then all of a sudden, the entire forest was illuminated by a blinding flash of lightning revealing a little house which Kunle was pretty sure wasn’t...

...One Piece Chapter 1: Alex It was a harsh day for Alex Newgate, tears trickling down her cheeks as she walked to a place she never knew she would come to so fast. She stood in front of her now late father’s grave and offered white roses, trembling as she does so. It was the end of the Marineford war between the Whitebeard pirates and the government also known as the Marines. Many have fallen and only a few were left breathing, me being one of them cried once I saw my father covered in blood from the enemies and his own. All the pirates that have been left alive wept in tears too as they see their strong captain who treated them all like his children, down on the grass, lifeless. I looked around at the aftermath and saw another sad scene between brothers. Monkey D. Luffy, a high bounty pirate was crying while carrying the body of his weak brother. He even shouted out loudly that everyone can hear his pain. He then laid his brother’s body down on the side of a rock and looked down in pain and sorrow, considering that he was very close to him. “It was harsh, wasn’t it?” I asked Luffy with a gentle voice as I walked closer to the two. “Yeah…” He trailed of in a soft tone, not tearing his eyes away from the ground. “You know, I think ace won’t want to see you like this” I said mentioning his brother’s name as I sat down on the ground next to him, trying to hide my own tears. “I guess so, he never wants me to save him or else he’ll feel weak” he replied with a small chuckle...

...Shelter & Continued Education Program for Alcohol Abusers Yasmi C. Davis September 3, 2015 HCA 430: Special Populations Instructor: Brooke Bauman Shelter & Continued Education Program for Alcohol Abusers “Alcohol abuse is one of the most recognized types of addictive personalities among the general population” (Newsweek, 2004). Because it is easily accessible, inexpensive, and casually used, it is available to purchase and consume in all ages due to most convenient stores, grocery stores, and corner liquor stores having alcoholic beverages readily available to purchase. Even though most states have injunctions to sale or distribute to anyone under the age of 21, numerous young adults has been under the influence of alcohol before reaching the legal age to purchase. As a result, many young adults are “suffering from alcoholism and is in need of shelter, nutrition, and continued education (MacGillivray, 2010). In this paper, I will propose a program to provide shelter and continued education for young adults who suffer from alcohol abuse, while analyzing the contributing factors to alcohol abuse in young adults. Since the 1900s, young adults have had access to alcohol from opening a bottle of beer for their tired father – who has just come in from work – to sneaking a sip of alcohol from their uncles can, with no idea of what the future may hold. However, young adults did not have the financial means to consume alcohol...

My initial motivations for applying to SNHU were to get the education I needed to make myself more competitive in my search for a better job. I had been working at a job that I was growing to despise. I hated getting out of bed every day knowing that I had to drive 20 minutes and spend eight hours doing a job that I just hated. Going to college and applying myself to education were my initial motivations. Shortly after I was accepted at SNHU, I was offered a great job at another company. I am hoping the Continued Motivations won't be a problem. I do believe education is important...

...and teachers are trained to begin the process of higher learning earlier. In Secondary education, AVID seeks to recruit “students who possess a desire to go to college and the willingness to work hard,” and many of these students come from backgrounds that otherwise may not have allowed them to become college ready. “These are often the students who will be the first in their families to attend college and are from groups traditionally underrepresented in higher education,” states the AVID official webpage (“Our”). The achievement gap, although thinning, has been a longstanding known phenomenon in the United States. We find that in almost all areas of the country, white and wealthier students tend to go further in the education system and achieve higher. The main reasons are their increased access to resources, which AVID aims to make more equitable. Many studies show the achievement gap trends in term of test scores, grade point averages, and completion rates of high school and post-secondary education. In almost all of these areas, the trends are significantly similar across racial groups and categories such as SES and parental education...

...Dropping out of high school is an issue that has always occurred and that will most likely always exist. High School dropouts have always been apparent in the United States, but the epidemic did not begin to receive attention until after the second world war. Before World War II, only a very small percent of Americans attended college. In the year 1937, only 15 percent of students went on to the next level of education. The majority of the students who went onto college came from families of wealth. This was a time of crisis in the United States with soldiers coming home with large sums of money to pay and large families to feed. After the ending of the war, enrollment rates surged in direct relation to the expensive GI bills being given out...

But since the IEP team agreed to the latest IQ score, as well as, agreed that no additional testing or data were necessary, this seems to be a fair testing practice. “Federal law requires that the IEP team review data from a variety of sources, and in the case of reevaluation of a student receiving special services, determine whether enough data exist to support that student’s continued eligibility”, (Overton, 2016, p. 35). The textbook also states, “In such cases, the student is not subjected to comprehensive formal testing to complete the review for continued placement unless her...

She was accommodating for this interview, although she states her days are quite busy, in her clinical role. Questions and Career Overview The Nurse Educator was first asked what her role was as the Clinical Nurse Educator for this medical center. She was quick to state that nurse educators in the Banner Health System not only have education for their specific units, but also have responsibilities to educate system wide. A day in the life of a Nurse Educator sometimes goes globally with her knowledge; to teach beyond his/her assigned unit. She continued to explain that there are a variety of functions that her position encompasses, however, she limited the list to the top three: onboarding/new employee orientation, teaching in the academy or specific clinical area/unit, and then providing the required competency education for staff.

My experience as a researcher was a picture of interest and anxiety in their faces as they gave me their individual understanding about education (formal of nonformal). They expressed that women in other rural communities like Yelequelleh are making progress through the provision of education by their churches (e.g. the Lutheran Church in Gbono-ta), where women are trained to make soap, bake bread, etc, while Night School is provided for those wanting to sit in class. Yet for them in Yelequelleh they still see a community facing extreme poverty, high rate of women illiteracy and the dependence of women on their male counterparts for survivor.

...Education on the West Coast. In this part of Canada for example ”… immigration was the primary factor in shaping the mass schooling movement, but it did so in ways quite different from those on the East Coast of the continent”( Historica Canada, 2015,np ). Religion and Minority-Language Education form one of the fundamental themes in the history of Canada’s learning society -A high level of educational dispute and disagreement has involved religion and language. The founding of schools brought local training under official examination and forced communities to accept the recommended standards of basic instruction which did not agree with the reality of a multicultural society. For example,” …religious groups did not always agree on the desirability of nondenominational Christian curricula, and their protests led to the growth of parallel Catholic and Protestant school systems in Québec, the provision for separate schools in provinces such as Ontario, and a completely denominationally based school system in Newfoundland (Historica Canada, 2015, np). The higher levels of Asian immigration and rising prejudice developments continued to form one of the fundamental themes in the history of Canada’s learning society, schooling developed somewhat differently on the West Coast than in the rest of Canada.

...If we are to decipher economic inequality, there are several stems that create the divide, and one of them is the educational system. In 1779, a suggestion was made by Thomas Jefferson for an educational system that gave citizens one of two categories to fall under, “labor or learning”. Thomas Jefferson believed this method would be helpful in “raking a few geniuses from the rubbish.”(Raceforward) Essentially, the wealthy were categorized to learn prosperous career skills while those not as fortunate would be provided the basics and taught labor work skills. The U.S. still holds on to this antiquated way of thinking and, as a nation, continue to divide people by their economic stature and have private schools for the wealthy and public schools...

...Continued Academic Success Continuing academic success is achieved through hard work, study and dedication. It is important to remember when seeking higher education to use the resources that are provided by the associated school, library, professors, and the plethora that are available online to achieve the greatest benefit. It is to a student's advantage while in college to continually keep the goal of academic success at the forefront of their minds in order to complete a degree and achieve their ultimate goal. There are many goals, ideas, processes, skills and resources that are needed in reaching this goal. Educational and Career Goals There are many educational and career goals that a student will set in the beginning of their higher education experience. Goals are an important component to achieving success in any endeavor. A set goal can serve as a guide to staying on a predetermined course when times get tough, and prevent distractions by unimportant matters. It is also important to note that preset goals can provide benefits in areas like planning, motivation and the attainment of rapid results. Goal setting costs little or nothing, and can aid successful results in our lives, both in academic and nonacademic settings(Shah & Gardner, 2008). Setting goals helps in achieving the best results possible, for example my most important educational goal is to acquire my bachelors of arts degree in elementary education and ultimately earning my teaching certification...
