For one of my last blogs, I want to reflect on how I am achieving my American Dream throughout the semester. I had before written out a blog about what that meant for me and what my dream looked like personally. I have luckily been fortunate enough to afford the things I would like to …

Week 13 – How were the founding documents written?
When the founding fathers wrote the documents that based the laws, rules, and morals of the country, they wrote with foresight in mind on how society may change.

Week 12- My ancestors American Dream

Week 5- Minimum Wage
A lot of things in life come from having money. Even though most people will say that money cant buy happiness, that is most definitely not true. Sure money can’t buy true love or a family (which is one of the points of the saying) but it can buy most any thing someone wants to …
