The roses, the lovely notes, the dining and dancing are all welcome and splendid. But when the Godiva is gone, the gift of real love is having someone who'll go the distance with you. Someone who, when the wedding day limo breaks down, is willing to share a seat on the bus.

The bit about UC Berkeley and other schools reaching out to minority kids I found in an article by Washington Post journalist Rene Sanchez. One day affirmative action will be US History.

The bit about UC Berkeley and other schools reaching out to disadvantaged kids is a reference to the article by Rene Sanchez from the Washington Post.

my thoughts (perhaps a little disorganized)

I am definitely citing this article in my research paper on affirmative action for my AP English class. Thank you!

My research for my paper has only confirmed my belief that affirmative action is unnecessary. Colleges like UC Berkeley are reaching out to minority students and encouraging them to set their sights on college and ought to be commended for it--perhaps one day their work will render completely useless the affirmative action policies at universities across the U.S. because everyone will be pulling their own weight, and as a result, earning jobs and receiving acceptance letters based entirely on merit. Affirmative action is reverse discrimination because it still pays attention to race/ethnicity and sometimes gender. In concurrence with the lady from Texas, how does the playing field still need a level when Americans have voted a black man into office? I really hope affirmative action will soon come to an end in the United States.

All here

Good afternoon. In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.

I am from Seychelles and , too, and now am writing in English, give true I wrote the following sentence: "Jerry glen over the entrepreneur network has written three articles on how to start a small business."

Waiting for a reply :p, Mordecai.
