The victory in Colorado directed NAWSA to plan campaigns around the United States, where recurring disapproval ascended against the suffragists. Catt’s Organizational Committee made more money than the association itself during 1897, where one thousand meetings took place in the promotion of suffrage organizations and politicians. Her work on the Organization Committee generated her to be most qualified candidate in the replacement of Susan B. Anthony as president of NAWSA. In 1900, Anthony resigned her position in presidency and Catt was elected for the role.

In Mary Pipher’s “Writing to Connect”, Karen Cangialosi’s “Healing Through the Written Word”, and Sam Dillon’s “What Corporate America Can’t Build: A Sentence” each writer talks about the unlimited importance of writing. Each writer has a different but extremely valid piece to their work.

All writing comes in many different styles and attracts a certain audience in which it strikes their minds and opens them up to a new world of thinking or looking at things. “Writing to Connect” by Mary Pipher tells about this concept and elaborates on it greatly to encourage aspiring writers who may be feeling discouraged. Writing to Connect is a chapter in Mary Pipher’s newest book Writing to Change the World, where she discusses the use of powerful writing, changing aspects of the way people view things, and inspiring others to share their own stories and never be afraid of what you feel needs to be shared. Pipher directs the chapter toward aspiring writers to tell her audience they should never give up and inspires them with the use of rhetorical choices. Specific rhetorical choices provide further support for Pipher’s purpose of writing the chapter, she effectively writes to show her audience it’s never wrong to write what they feel, and to take chances in their writing. In “Writing to Connect” by Mary Pipher, she urges aspiring writers to push past their comfort zone of writing with the use of identification, personal anecdotes, and historical texts/occasions to effectively persuade them to never give up on what they feel needs to be said through writing.

Cynthia Haven is the writer of an article called “The New Literacy: Stanford study finds richness and complexity in students' writing” that is a study based on the amount of writing college students do. She followed students at Stanford during their undergraduate years and the first year after that. She discovered that today’s students are writing more than any generation before it. Cynthia had the students she was studying submit all of the writing they did, academic or personal. She found that only 62 percent of the work submitted to her was for classes; the rest of the material was “Life writing”.

Smarthinking provides a variety of services for students who need help with their studies. The writing center would benefit me the most. There are times I make careless mistakes. However, the writing center is a resource that analyzes writing before submitting the final draft. It checks the spelling, grammar, sentence structure and helps corrects paper, and gave the organization in composing an essay (Bethel University, 2014).

The pencil liberates my stresses and sorrows. Bare and unimpeded, my mind is able to isolate itself from anything that was happening in my life. At my art table, which is merely an escape from reality, my curiosity is able to wander. Within this room, five blank canvas's look in on me as I become a mold of my imagination. A step inside my world develops into a sea of color and exploration. The vibrancy of the walls resonates throughout. Over the years, my room has served as my oasis. It’s my escape from monotonous and mundane routines. It’s my exploration of another side of me. I observe such works of art almost as much as I create. Taking notice of my classmates’ innovations and inspired by their creativity, my paintbrush begins to alleviate stress. I strive to produce pieces others will appreciate, but often find myself to be the true admirer. My pride, in this world, is driven simply by my own curiosity to express myself. I credit this side of me as the “passion” that supplements my insane drive for success. This passion has sparked critical thinking in me as well as how I see failure. Life is a blank canvas and you can truly draw whatever you want, and if you fail, you start over and don’t make that same mistake again! Hard work takes ideas quite far, but true success is derived from ingenuity and the generation of

My health issue was not the only reason I remained in NYC. The unfamiliar way of life was intensely exhilarating. A flash subway ride transported me to museums, galleries and the burgeoning art mecca in Brooklyn. Embracing life without the burden of my family’s restrictive traditions, I began anew with my husband who was helping me recover my health. This sudden move to NYC brought me invaluable friendships, experiences working at a major art gallery in Chelsea, and managing an artist’s studio. I eventually opened my own gallery in upstate New York, focusing on exhibition and project collaborations with local artists and curators. The objective was to connect with the community and spur dialogue concerning current issues in contemporary art. A recent opportunity to direct and manage a public art

People who are depressed can use their own illness to combat it. The idea may seem crazy but the way the mind of those affected work can lead them to potential and a journey. They can attempt and reconcile for all their emotions they can’t understand and tell stories on it. Commonly, artists use their feelings of sadness to inspire pieces that capture those feelings in techniques that will express it. Depth in this illness can undo the effects it had caused on those

I believe in the comfort and happiness of a warm blanket. As soul warmth, relief, and relaxation the purpose is endless. When I’m feeling tired, I want my blanket. When I’m feeling awake, I just want my blanket more. You can be sparkling in excitement or you can be feeling blue and all you want is your blanket. I believe in a warm blanket no matter the mood you are in. No matter the place you are in. And no matter the temperature.
