Wright State or Ohio State

Wright State was always one of my top schools. My mom graduated from here multiple times and I have been to Wright State many times before walking onto campus. However, if I had sent my application to Ohio State sooner, and therefore receiving my acceptance letter sooner I would have gone there instead of Wright State. Now that I am here at Wright State I must say I would rather be here than at Ohio State. Ohio State is a great school to follow football, but looking at it now is way too big for me. I like how Wright State is well connected and centralized. Not only are all my classes clustered together, but Wright State also has a medical school, so hopefully I will stay at Wright State all eight years.

Socially, I have a lot of friends that have decided to come to Wright State from high school and some of us still stay connected.  One of my friends staying in Hamilton Hall has attended the same school as me since preschool. Other friends have begun to materialize in some of my classes at a steady rate.

Overall, I am extremely happy with my decision to come to Wright State. It is a quality school at a low price. I am very pleased with things here. The people and professors are friendly and are willing to help all the time. Going to Wright State has allowed me to become independent while maintaining my job that I have had now for two years.

Love And Peace Or Else

Love And Peace Or Else

Lay down, lay down
Lay a sweet lovely on the ground
Lay your love on the track
We're gonna break the monster's back
Ahhahhhhahhh
Eh eh
Lay down your treasure
Lay it down now brother
You don't have time before a jealous lover
As you enter this life
I pray you depart
With a wrinkled face and a brand new heart
I don't know if I can take it
I'm not easy on my knees
It's my heart that you're breaking
We need some release, release, release, release
We need love and peace
Love, love and peace
Lay it down
Lay down your guns
All you daughters of Zion
All your Abraham's sons
I don't know if I can take it
I'm not easy on my knees
It's my heart that you're breaking
We need some release, release, release
We need love and peace
Love and peace
Uh huh
Baby don’t fight
We can talk this thing through
It’s not a big problem
It’s just me and you
You can call or I’ll phone
The TV is still on
But the sound is turned down
And the troops on the ground
Are about to dig in
I wonder where is the love?
Where is the love?
Love and peace
Where is the love?
Where is the love?
Where is the love?

Love and Peace or Else is a very meaningful song. It speaks of human rights and respect for other peoples. Coldplay;’s The Scientist was by far my favorite song in high school, besides game days. I have always enjoyed Coldplay’s style and music tempo.(Along with The Fray, and U2) Piano along with guitar is smoothing sound to me, and I feel that it mirrors my personality. I like how U2 and other groups such as these challenge society to better as a whole, and admire how they take the higher stance striving for human rights and the diversity of cultures around the world. Human right are very important to me as well as maintaining the vast numbers of cultures throughout the world, that make us so unique. I spent two summers in high school in the Central American nation of Belize on a mobile medical clinic. During my travels I saw a lot of poverty and suffering, much of which could be prevented if more people in first world nations weren’t so tunnel visioned.. When most people see thatch houses they think primitive. That is not the case in most places. Around the world cultures are being destroyed by people seeking to “save” indigenous peoples from their savage ways. Native cultures need to be understood, not dismantled, however, for example, Large oil companies destroy fragile cultures and biodiversity around the globe. Unjust wars fill the news. Everywhere I look I see people doing harm to each other and to the world around us. I feel that these musical groups are
leading the way in bringing peoples together and away from abuse and hate.

Arizona Immigration Law

As the threats our nation change, it is necessary to allow the government to adapt to these threats. In order to keep us safe, I think most people would be willing to give up some rights and freedoms. However, there is a fine line between protecting and dominating citizens. The government should be limited in what extent they can revoke rights and freedoms. I think things should be handled uniquely and with care and responses should be altered to the specific need. That means the government can monitor and maintain our borders, but they cannot demand that everyone show documentation showing they are allowed in the country.


The new immigration law in Arizona is a complete violation of our rights and is racial profiling. I wouldn’t be surprised to see this law challenged in the Supreme Court, and that is overturned as unconstitutional. If we allow this law to remain in the system, it will be the beginning of infringement on our basic rights listed in the Bill of Rights. This will be the beginning of government control of morality and personal choice, a far larger issue than mere citizenship. I would like to point out that in Nazi Germany they had a similar policy of separating a certain ethnic group of people from other Germans, only they made them wear a star. If people were worried about illegal immigrants then the process of becoming a citizen should be reformed. If one ethnic group is required to show proof of citizenship I feel that everyone should as well.
