Thank you so much for this opportunity. Skidmore is one of top schools that I am interested in and I have been wanting to visit it even more since our last meeting. I am truly grateful for this chance to have an immersive experience, so once again thank you for making this possible. In terms of transportation, I think the bus would be the best option for me. I look forward to being on campus.

Would you have quit at Valley Forge? Residing in Valley Forge are 12,000 of approximately 25,000 men of the Continental Army. Led by the phenomenal general George Washington, many brave lives are volunteers to fight for independence. Although the Washington’s army was very hopeful, it was having difficulties parting from Britain. Lacking a settlement for the winter of 1777, half the army retreated to Valley Forge. As they were undergoing horrific times, Britain quartered pleasantly in Philadelphia just 18 miles Northwest. Conditions are horrible for Valley Forge, lacking necessities and military aid. Although the French provided money and troops soon after, it was not nearly enough for the camp. The odds aren’t even at all and a troop’s will
valley Forge was named for an iron forge on Valley Creek in Whitemarsh, Pennsylvania. It was not the best place to set up winter camp for the Continental Army, as it was unable to defend southern Pennsylvania at the time. This location also left the vulnerable under-supplied army in striking distance of the British, who were well provisioned and secured in Philadelphia. The area was close enough to the British to keep their raiding and foraging parties out of the interior of Pennsylvania,
“The time is now at hand which must probably determine whether Americans are or be Freemen or Slaves.” -George Washington. It all started on a cold and wintry day in December. Soldiers began to make a winter camp at Valley Forge, about 18 miles west of Philadelphia.In October Washington's army retreated from Boston and New York in October, and just recently had failed in keeping the British out of Philadelphia. Philadelphia is the Forming Nation's Capitol. The army retreated to Valley forge, where they would stay for the next many months.They would stay until they could defeat the British in Philadelphia, in which the British set up base comfortably. I am a 9 month soldier, and my contract ends on March first.

Cold winters, nasty cookery, worn out shoes, and lack of support was the definition of valley forge. My winter at valley forge was a difficult time, not just for me, but as well as my fellow soldiers due to many factors. The question “ would you have re-enlisted?” determined many soldiers futures. I did not re-enlist due to three main reasons, deaths due to illness, harsh conditions, and lack of support.
It was the year 1777. The Revolutionary War is breaking out and George Washington and his army are making camp at Valley Forge during a dreadful winter. It was the week before Christmas when Valley Forge was established. 18 miles northwest of Philadelphia,at valley Forge, George Washington was at valley Forge to watch the British. The total troops at Valley Forge was in December 1777 was 12,000. Then in February 1778 there was 8,000. So my question is: Had you been a soldier at Valley Forge, would you have quit? I have decided to not re-enlist for three reasons which are 12 men living in one hut, not wanting to get smallpox and dysentery, and I do not want to die.
In Valley Forge there is a big war for the capitol. I usually have no shoes but this time I am staying. It is cold and no meat. No Meat! No Meat! (Waldo,151). With the congress supporting and the army needing healthy men would you have quit? I would have stayed.
Pawnee is on it’s own island 50 miles south of Indianapolis, with the weather being almost a constant sunny 50-80 degrees Fahrenheit. That supports the city getting almost unlimited amounts of solar power and a mountain range in the northernmost part of the city produces more increase of wind. Pawnee is recognized for its gigantic dome that is completely solar powered and takes up over 70% of the city, and it’s gigantic wind pipes that blast people and their discarded garbage, in two separate pipes, to where they belong. How they do this you ask? Well, the pipes are equipped with state of the art face recognition that scans your card and your face, so as to prevent identity theft. Becoming a citizen is almost as easy as
“I am sick - discontented - and out of humor. Poor food - hard lodging - Cold Weather - fatigue - Nasty Cloaths - nasty Cookery - Vomit half my time - smoak’d out of my senses - the Devil’s in’t - I can’t Endure it - Why are we sent her to starve and freeze…” (Waldo, 1777) The American soldiers spending the winter at Valley Forge suffered in the bad conditions. During that winter, the disease “small pox” attacked a large percentage of the soldiers in Valley Forge, causing them to die. As a result, many soldiers left or fled from Valley Forge. Would you have quit? An American soldier at Valley Forge should not have quit. This is because they should fight for their independence,realize that they have a high chance at survival, and both Washington
The air is filled with the smell of burning bodies. It is the winter of 1777, and my condition is getting worse as the days pass. Most of the soldiers here don’t rest that much so everyday they look weary. The winter at Valley Forge started on December 19, 1777 in Pennsylvania. The question I ask myself everyday is if I have served my 9 months should I reenlist or leave? I have decided to not re-enlist for three reasons which are smallpox and diseases, bad weather and starvation, and poor medication and treatment. I know that if I don’t re-enlist it could make a huge impact on the soldiers.
Did you know that Vermont used to have historical indian tribes? Including, Mahicans and Abenaki tribes. In the Abenaki tribe they settled in Vermont, until they got kicked out of the state in the 1600’s. Also, the Mahicans hunted in the Southwestern and Western part of Vermont making temporary settlements and living off of the food they hunted and the skin they perished of of the animals that were hunted. Both of these very interesting tribes used every single part of the animals that they would hunt. The fur was used as coats, the meat for food, the dung for energy, and so many more.
In a bag of skittles there are various flavors such as Lemon, Lime, Grape and Strawberry. When a person eats a bag of skittles there is a 25% chance of eating any one of the candies. However the person who chooses to buy and eat the candy knows that there is a certain flavor that they prefer over the others such as grape. Even though the person enjoys the candy overall they will always have that preference. This experience is similar to picking a college. There are numerous of other colleges that offer the same programs but there is Columbia's unique college experience that draws me into the school. Columbia is my grape skittle. Columbia offers a theater program that involves experience on campus also interacts with the New York environment.

Joliet city is located near the Des Plaines River, which it makes divide the township into two parts. It is the capital city of Will County (Liebe et al., 850). The Hickory creek enters the city from the east uniting with the Plaines which makes the town well watered. The city is mainly covered with limestone and other stone quarries that have made excellent building stones. From the time when Illinois and the Michigan canals were opened in 1848 and the building of the Rock Island as well as other railroads, limestone has been taken to Chicago and other Middle East places in large qualities. Joliet also has timber that was used in furnishing the buildings made by the early settler. Notably, the settlers in the township were mostly from
