  • An Introduction to BETRAYAL
    An Introduction to BETRAYAL There are times in the life of any individual or organization when they are challenged by events entirely beyond their control. One such event happened in the life of our Goodwill that challenged us to our very core. That event was the fraud committed by Carol Braun. We take pride in our corporate values and our integrity. We were exposed and vulnerable. The real mark of an organization's strength is its capacity to weather the most difficult storms. I believe that "Betrayal" is a testament to the strength and integrity of our Goodwill. It is a living testament to our capacity to learn from our hardships and mistakes. The book has found its way to every corner of America and has served to comfort and inform others who have faced similar circumstances. This book is dedicated to the men and women of Goodwill, our "People". We are stronger, more resilient and more compassionate as a result of this experience. We hope that Betrayal will, in some small way, ease any personal or professional challenges the reader may face and we stand ready to help.

    Unit 6, Period 7 Part 1 HISTORICAL ANALYSIS – Comparing / Contrasting …Imperialists & Anti-Imperialists From the 2015 Revised Framework: COMPARE & CONTRAST… 1. Compare diverse perspectives represented in primary and secondary sources in order to draw conclusions about one or more historical events. 2. Compare different historical individuals, events, developments, and/ or processes, analyzing both similarities and differences in order to draw historically valid conclusions. Comparisons can be made across different time periods, across different geographical locations, and between different historical events or developments within the same time period and/ or geographical location. From the 2015 Revised Content Outline Key Concept 7.3: Participation in a series of global conflicts propelled the United States into a position of international power while renewing domestic debates over the nation’s proper role in the world. I. In the late 19th century and early 20th century, new U.S. territorial ambitions and acquisitions in the Western Hemisphere and the Pacific accompanied heightened public debates over America’s role in the world. A) Imperialists cited economic opportunities, racial theories, competition with European empires, and the perception in the 1890s that the Western frontier was “closed” to argue that Americans were destined to expand their culture and institutions to peoples around the globe. B) Anti-imperialists cited principles of self-determination and invoked both racial theories and the U.S. foreign policy tradition of isolationism to argue that the U.S. should not extend its territory overseas. C) The American victory in the Spanish–American War led to the U.S. acquisition of island territories in the Caribbean and the Pacific, an increase in involvement in Asia, and the suppression of a nationalist movement in the Philippines.

  • Student Writing Sample Ohio’S Original Interscholastic Creative Writing Program for Middle Schools
    student writing sample Ohio’s Original Interscholastic Creative Writing Program for Middle Schools Sticky Fingers by Sabrine Djemil, Grade 8, Brecksville-Broadview Heights Middle School Elephants are one of the most vivid memories of my childhood. I had an alphabet book, and on the page for letter E there was a picture of a purple spotted elephant. Late into the night, my father and I would stay up practicing our elephant noises. I’m sure that by now, he has found someone else to giggle with. My time as his child is over. Another little girl has taken my place. He took me to the zoo once. I was only five, and he was off work for the day – the first time in weeks. He had an appointment at the golf course that afternoon, I remember. Whenever my sticky fingers would press against the shiny metallic clubs, I could see him wince. But that morning, he was all mine and we spent a good twenty minutes visiting the elephants. I stared in awe at the enormous beasts, and my sticky fingers left little smears against the glass barrier when I attempted to clamber into the safari exhibit. I never got very far – his hands always held me back. When sticky fingers pressed against his cheek, my father couldn’t bring himself to care about the residue they left. My fingers have not been sticky in a long time, and the elephant alphabet book has long since been shoved into a forgotten drawer. He called me just last week, my dear father.
