Book Synopsis My Freshman Year by : Rebekah Nathan
Download or read book My Freshman Year written by Rebekah Nathan and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2006-07-25 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After fifteen years of teaching anthropology at a large university, Rebekah Nathan had become baffled by her own students. Their strange behavior—eating meals at their desks, not completing reading assignments, remaining silent through class discussions—made her feel as if she were dealing with a completely foreign culture. So Nathan decided to do what anthropologists do when confused by a different culture: Go live with them. She enrolled as a freshman, moved into the dorm, ate in the dining hall, and took a full load of courses. And she came to understand that being a student is a pretty difficult job, too. Her discoveries about contemporary undergraduate culture are surprising and her observations are invaluable, making My Freshman Year essential reading for students, parents, faculty, and anyone interested in educational policy.

Book Synopsis Black Collegians’ Experiences in US Northern Private Colleges by : Dafina-Lazarus Stewart
Download or read book Black Collegians’ Experiences in US Northern Private Colleges written by Dafina-Lazarus Stewart and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-04-22 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a narrative study of the lives and experiences of sixty-eight Black collegians in a set of northern private colleges in the Midwest between 1945 and 1965. Through oral histories and archival material, this text documents and reflects on their experiences in the racially isolated, northern, rural towns in Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, and Western Pennsylvania. This history illuminates both the empowerment of these collegians and the persistent challenges of enacting institutional values in the face of resistance from both outside and within. Stewart seeks to understand the nature of progress toward pluralistic diversity in college environments characterized by the paradox of racial homogeneity and interracial engagement. In this way, the complex interplay of social movements, institutional context, individual identities, and the experiences of marginalized students in postsecondary education are more effectively demonstrated.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No other high school in Nebraska evokes as much pride, passion, inspiration, and devotion as Pius X High School. The school that was started in 1956 and remains today Nebraska's largest co-educational parochial school, is a beacon for success and leadership. Thunderbolt athletics has been a bench mark for programs to follow, and only those privileged few student athletes who have had the opportunity to don the Pius X uniform can begin to understand why that is so. Pius X's undeniably rich tradition and success over the past fifty years are enough to separate it from other schools: 54 state titles in both boy and girl sports, 12 all sports awards, nine state football championships, and countless academic all state athletes. Coaches such as Aldrich, Kelley, Aylward, Moore, and Forycki, as well as many others, have set the standard of excellence, and have created the feelings of honor and utmost pride associated with Pius X and being a Thunderbolt. Travel back with us as we take a look at Past great athletes and teams and why they make Pius X such a special and magical place. This is a must read for all past and present Thunderbolt athletes, and for Pius X fans and foes alike. Now read the stories and accounts of past Pius X athletes as they attempt to define the significance of being a part of the storied tradition that is a Pius X Thunderbolt.
Book Synopsis Depression Saved My Life by : Brian Michael Joyce
Download or read book Depression Saved My Life written by Brian Michael Joyce and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2008-06-04 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 17.5 million Americans suffer from clinical depression. Each year, more than 132,000 people will consider suicide as a way out of depression and over 30,000 of them will succeed. The author became a statistic of the first two categories and was miraculously saved from the third. Ironically, he was reborn to a new reality through the intervention of a terminally ill friend as he wrote his school-aged son a desperate suicide letter. Consequently, the note changed course and became this book. The author describes his decent and climb from depression to his son in heartbreaking detail, from his childhood in the tough streets of Philadelphia to his battle with cancer, the deaths of his sister, mother and two best friends, all in a relatively short period of time. What makes this book unique are the strategically intertwined positive lessons that were learned while facing these tragic, life-altering events. These lessons, appropriately named "Life Lessons", are heartfelt loving messages from a father to his son illustrating what the author believes to be the truths of life and what is truly important to him today.

Book Synopsis SUPERMAN! by : William Craig Lachowsky
Download or read book SUPERMAN! written by William Craig Lachowsky and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2023-03-16 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this daring and compelling work of personal memoir, author William Craig Lachowsky details his life story, from birth to now. Expelled from middle school for penning an off-color illustration not long after the Columbine massacre, Lachowsky finds his life forever changed. Faced with a political climate that increasingly frames the white man as Public Enemy Number One, seeking purpose and meaning in his life, he becomes first in his family to enlist in the Marine Corps and eventually get promoted to Sergeant. Lachowsky faces many challenges that should be familiar to the disenfranchised working-class men of his generation—particularly disabled veterans, such as himself—including finding meaningful employment, a place to call home, and a good woman to share his life with. A born and bred working-class Midwesterner, his story intersects urgently and meaningfully with those of the de-industrialization of middle America, the US’s reckoning with Second Amendment rights and gun culture in the wake of mass shootings, the attack on the Twin Towers and the American launch of the so-called “War on Terror,” and most of the other major political milestones of the last three decades. Along the way, Lachowsky folds in a searing critique of American imperialism, the dominance of US media and government by liberal elites, the same government’s abandonment of American veterans and the working class, and a number of challenging, idiosyncratic takes on race, gender, and power relations that readers are unlikely to have encountered anywhere else. Ultimately, Lachowsky’s is a story of persevering against the odds, and it should bolster the spirit of anyone who feels the world is trying to keep them down.
