I believe there is an opportunity to solve the problem of a lack of childcare in various cities in Gainesville being plagued by poverty. I would like to solve with problem with something that has more weight than a simple band-aid to the issue. The need that I would like to focus on is the insufficient childcare opportunities for people who have less than ideal lives. This is something that won’t run only through the day but a solution that would be open 24 hours of the day. This need is mostly found in neighborhoods that house a lot of minorities, single family households, and within the homeless community. This need has always existed, and it’s only getting worse with time. My attention is on this need because of observation. Being raised in a somewhat sheltered family, and now coming into adulthood the world isn’t looking as cheery as my family raised me to believe. Being aware of these issues that have been around longer than me is just the beginning, making an actual change and pr...

Title: Parents Resistance Thwarts Local School Desegregation Efforts Link:  https://www.gainesville.com/news/20200129/parent-resistance-thwarts-local-school-desegregation-efforts This article focused on a specific problem in Howard Country, Maryland, but an issue that exists all around our country. They were essentially trying to make all the students in that county receive the same education, and less about the students socioeconomic status. They wanted to change the school distribution lines, give the poorer schools more funding, and try to create diversity within the halls of these schools. But as you can imagine this received a lot of backlash from the people in the community. Parallels between this story and the story we all know Brown v. Board of Education, were thrown throughout the whole article. We know that it’s illegal to have segregated schools, but this county and many others have found many loopholes to get what they want; which is the oppression of minorities. ...

I think I was in Middle School, when I had decided to become an entrepreneur. I had a best friend at the time, who’s name is Monifa, and we had decided that we were gonna have our own clothing line, and company. We were introduced to this lady that went to our church named Lenja. We were so infatuated with her because she had her own line, and we wanted the same things for us. So we talked to her just to see how hard it was for her, and any recommendations she might’ve had for us. After talking to her we were so excited, we wanted to start right away, so that’s what we did. We started with little things, like trying to make simple things for our church’s dance group, and things for ourselves to just give us a taste of the world we were dying to be in. Around that same time, I started undressing all my dolls, buying fabric, and making my own clothes for them. I also asked my parents to buy me a sewing machine. From this time forward my love for fashion, and anything creative has just ex...

1. Going to my favorite nail salon in my city, and not being able to communicate with my nail technician efficiently. Why? English is not their first language, and they were not able to get classes to effectively communicate with their customers. 2. When my roommates see that the trash needs to be taken out, yet they don’t do it. Why? They are both too consumed with life, and couldn’t be bothered with taking the trash out.  3. When I go back home for breaks and my mom has a list of rules I have to abide by. Why? The feeling of insubordination settles, and the feeling of freedom vanishes while at home.  4. The rider app that helps me ride around Gainesville isn’t always correct when it comes to time. Why? People depend on this app to be correct when they have to depend upon public transportation.  5. The laundry rooms in our dorms don’t  contain enough washers and dryers.  Why? There is just too many students that need to wash, and they are inconvenien...
