One of the careers that came up on my test was nurse. I believe that I would be a good nurse because I have a good kind heart. when people are down or in a bad mood I'm always the one trying to make them laugh or make them happy.I am always trying to help people and looking out for there best interest. When someone gets hurt especially an old person or a young child my heart just melts and I feel so bad for that person and i run to there aid right away.
Not only do I like helping people I also like to attend to them and take care of them when they are in bad conditions. I do think that my heart and emotions take over my sense of thinking most of the time. That’s why I believe I would be a good nurse. knowing that I help people make me feel good about myself. To get to that state I would have to go to college for about four years and then attend medical school

Civil War Essay
Civil War Essay
Thesis: Although the war brought the North and South closer and ended slavery, it took a lot of pain and violence to get to that point.
In order for slavery to be abolished and for people to be able to live in peace it took a war between the North and South, known as the Civil War. As we know the Civil War was one of the most bloodiest wars which many people died in " nearly three million men served in the union and confederate armies from 1861 to 1865" stated letter from the war by the Gilder Lehrman. People tried many techniques to try and settle the flares between North and South about slavery. A few of the techniques were the Missouri Compromise which was an act of Congress (1820) by which Missouri was admitted as a slave state, Maine as a free state, and slavery was prohibited in the Louisiana Purchase, Compromise of 1850 that was a set of laws, passed in the midst of fierce wrangling between groups favoring slavery and groups opposing it, that attempted to give something to both sides. The compromise allowed California “free state” which means no slavery but allowed some new places and territories to decide whether or not they wanted slavery., Fugitive Slave Law which is A law passed as part of the Compromise of 1850, which provided southern slaveholders with legal weapons to capture slaves who had escaped to the free states. The law was not liked in the North., Uncle Tom's Cabin was a (1852) A novel, by Harriet Beecher Stowe; Harriet Stowe was a slave who was beat to death by a overseer, named Simon Legree, for describing the cruelties of slavery which really angered the South., Kansas Nebraska republican party which was the act of Congress in 1854, providing for the organization of the territories of Kansas and Nebraska, and allowing these territories to determine whether or not they accepted slavery etc. These are only a few ways the nations tried to settle the conflicts and compromise but all they did was back fire and cause more conflict. The North and South faced many battles that were in the civil war which caused many men to die. I will name and get into those battles further in the following paragraphs. In addition to that I will talk about the two Battles of Bull Run which took place in Fairfax Count and Prince William County on July 21, 1861. It was first major land battle of armies and was a battle that let people know it was only the beginning of the war. There was an estimate of 4,700 people killed 2,950 total union troops were killed. They were led by Gen. Irvin McDowell. On the confederate side 1,150 men were killed and they were led by Gen. Joseph E Johnston and Gen. P.G.T Beauregard. In the battle of Antietam also called "Sharpsburg" an estimate of 23,100 people were killed. The union was led by Gen. George B. Magellan. The confederates were led by Gen. Robert E. Lee. This battle was the bloodiest single day battle in America this war also allowed Abraham to issue the Emancipation Proclamation, which freed the slaves. In Vicksburg battle 19,233 men were killed. 10,142 union men died and they were led by Gen. Ulysses S. Grant. The Confederates lost 9,091 men and they were led by Gen. John C. Pemberton. In the Vicksburg battle Pemberton's army loss, which caused the confederacy to split in half, this battle was a turning point in the war. The Gettysburg Battle took place in Adams County on July 1-3, 1863 it was a three day battle. Estimate of 51,000 men were killed 23,000 were from the union which were led by Gen. George G Meade and 28,000 were confederates and they were led by Gen. Robert E. Lee. This battle was the largest battle ever waged during the American Civil War; this battle was also a major turning point in the war it was “high water mark of the confederacy" stated "the history place website". All these battles are evidence of the pain and violence the North and South went to get the slaves free, and live a civil life. Even though many soldiers lost their lives and were seriously hurt it paid off in the end, because not only did it make the slaves free but it caused the North and South to come closer and become one as a civil nation.
In this paragraph I will show and explain the evidence of violence that took place before and during the war. The Document of Amistad was evidence of contribution toward the war because the ships kept bringing slaves over, and one of the reasons for the Civil War was conflict over slavery. Document of the Antietam battle showed that it was the bloodiest single day battle, in this picture shows a lot of dead bodies lying on the ground. The war conditions were so crucial and painful in the war, here is evidence of a living man writing to his wife saying “I lay or sit in water about six inches deep by the side of a stone fence”. In this letter he was also describing the dead bodies he said” the ground was literally covered in dead and wounded as far as we could see our boys” these were actual quotes from DDM Smith who was a soldier for the union army. That letter to Mrs. Smith was the reality of the Civil War. Here is another letter from a soldier JP Nugent who is writing to his mother he states “my shoes gave out and I had to travel about five hundred miles bare foot and my feet were so sore that I could hardly walk one of them had thirteen blister under the bottom”this was how the men in the war had to survive in poor living conditions. These documents show you how crucial the Civil war really was the reality and how violent it was for the people on the Confederate side and Union side. After the war the nations went through a Reconstruction which was one of the most violent and controversial eras in American history, the Reconstruction was widely viewed as an era of corruption and misgovernment, supposedly caused by allowing blacks to take part in politics. This interpretation helped to justify the South's system of racial segregation and denying the vote to blacks. After Abraham Lincoln, Andrew Jackson began his Reconstruction plan. This plan contained thirteenth amendment which abolished slavery. Reconstruction was a time of fundamental social, economic, and political change. The overthrow of Reconstruction left to future generations the troublesome problem of racial justice” stated “America’s Reconstruction website” In the end everything and everyone came together even though there were still racial problems with whites and blacks. The Civil War paid a big price of loosing so many men but it paid off and brought everyone together and made slavery end.
In conclusion the Civil War was definitely the most violent war in American History as I shown and described to you previously with documents. Through all the deaths, battle, disagreements etc. the nations finally pulled themselves together and Reconstructed America and became one nation. Slavery was ended and so did the conflict and battles between the North and the South and all the other nations. Divided nations no longer existed and North and South were one. So like I said in the beginning although the Civil War was such a bloody violent war it paid off in the long run by freeing the slaves and causing the North and South to come together. Although the men in the war had to pay a big price by losing their lives in the end it was worth it. Slavery was abolished, and there was only one Nation. Even though slavery was over, during the Reconstruction there were some conflict with equality, like blacks had separate water fountains, schools, and they couldn’t do everything white people could. America had still come a long way from slavery to the Civil War to the Reconstruction. The nations were far from perfect but they were on their way to getting on the right track. America accomplished a lot but also had a lot to be fixed over the years to come.

Student/ Teacher Article
For years kids go to school to get an education. Everyday we go to school, in a classroom with about 30 students and one teacher. We sit in class and learn lessons by a teacher. Most of the time a student will have a question and a teacher will answer if that teacher knows the answer. Teachers will assign the students work where the student will complete the work on his or her own with an exception of some help from a teacher. Sometimes the class will be to big for a teacher to do one on one an help a student out, so in that case he or she will say do it on your own.
Relationships between students vary. Not all students and teachers get along. In some cases students almost feel neglected by teachers. Julia Fusco states “I sometimes feel abandon by a certain teachers” she didn’t want me to say the name of the teacher even though I knew who she was talking about. Other students like Ashante Richards feels teachers ignore her when she asked questions, she claims “Ackerman ignores me all the time”. I’m afraid she wasn’t the only one person who felt that way. I personally asked Ackerman if he walks away from students when they ask a question he says yes I do that everyday” I was socked he wouldn’t admit something that so many students get mad at him for doing. But then he said “but because some student ask inappropriate questions or they are off topic. That made me understand the reason for the actions of some teachers.
Not all teachers and students have problems each student has their own opinion on the way teachers teach and act. My interview with Nicole Golden shows close relationships with teachers she says “teachers are pretty friendly and take the time to build relationships with students so much, that I call Brasof my uncle and Romero m dad”. While most students feel ignored and neglected Krista McCormick, another student I interviewed, on the other hand she said “teachers don’t ignore me but then again I don’t ask for their attention that much”.
As you can see, there are different types of relationships between students and teachers. Teachers and students have their ups and downs depending on the way a student or teacher acts. For some students, teachers are rude and ignore you to other students teachers are like family and good teachers.
