The second week of our English Composition class, we talked about American Identity and what influence immigration has on it. Since I am an international student from Germany studying at an American university, Joel L. Swerdlow’s report about a day at the J.E.B. Stuart High School in West Virginia, which is, according to him, mirroring the immigration revolution, made me rethink my actual life situation. Swerdlow is spending a whole day with a “Combating Intolerance” class for juniors and seniors

From the region of Tekoa not so far from Jerusalem, to Trevecca, in the heart of Nashville, humble boy Amos changed his humble life from working with sheep and planting sycamore trees, to serving fancy drinks at the 1901 Coffee Shop. Logan Rodgers could not hold himself from having such gifted human being at his coffee shop, for Amos could see visions about Tennessee! From living humbly feeding pigs, Amos was now silent discoing, shaving his beard only twice a year. As an undeclared major, Amos

I always wondered if I was over competitive. Allyson Felix, a Trackstar once said, “ I’m just competitive. It doesn’t matter what it is”. I feel the same way, especially with sports.

I went to my classes, did my work, but never really pushed myself to my full abilities. I thought that as long as I graduated with decent grades I

Whether it is giving a job, saving a job, or resolving employee conflict, I get to help people every single day. I stay inspired by the people I work with, remain fascinated by human behavior, and am truly proud of my occupation; I know I have found my calling in life. Recently, I started to feel slightly stuck. I know I am ready to take the

Mr. Cartwright graduated from Trevecca Nazarene University in the spring of 1996 with a Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration Management and Operations. Michael says he chose his degree because business was an easy and vague field with infinite possibilities for owning an operating his own business in the future.

Welfare, Learning to Work the System Ellen Gossett Trevecca Nazarene University Abstract Many people have grown up only knowing a life that includes the Welfare System. There are mothers and other family members that do not work, have not worked and are given more money by the Federal and State Government agencies than most working adults with a full-time position.

Katana is a first-born; being the eldest of her siblings she was the first to graduate high school ranking 26th out of 2100. She strived for good grades and worked very hard to help her mother support their family. She is currently attending Trevecca Nazarene University studying to be a teacher. Her brother Roman, the second oldest, is the complete opposite of her. He is smart, but doesn’t like trying in school that much, so his grades suffer. He also prefers to slack-off rather than work. The youngest
