A strong personal statement is reflective; that is, it demonstrates that you have thought about and gained a clear perspective on your experiences and what you want in your future.

  This implies it takes time to gain the perspective; I think your drafting of the essay actually helps you reflect

A reader will be much more interested in how your experience demonstrates the theme of your essay, not the number of accomplishments you can list.

  Seems to be a theme of many essay help lists: don't make your essay a continuation of your resume or brag sheet.

Trump tweet Twitter forensic linguistics

shared by Lara Cowell on 23 May 18 - No Cached

The hallmark of President Trump's Twitter feed is that it sounds like him - grammatical miscues and all. But it's not always Trump tapping out a Tweet, even when it sounds like his voice. West Wing employees who draft proposed tweets intentionally employ suspect grammar and staccato syntax in order to mimic the president's style, according to two people familiar with the process. They overuse the exclamation point! They Capitalize random words for emphasis. Fragments. Loosely connected ideas. Trump's staff has become so adept at replicating the President's tone that people who follow his feed closely say it is getting harder to discern which tweets were actually crafted by Trump sitting in his bathrobe and watching "Fox & Friends" and which were concocted by his communications team. Staff-written tweets do go through a West Wing process of sorts. When a White House employee wants the president to tweet about a topic, the official writes a memo to the president that includes three or four sample tweets, according to those familiar with the process. Those familiar with the process wouldn't fess up to which tweets were staff-written. But an algorithm crafted by a writer at The Atlantic to determine real versus staff-written tweets suggested several were not written by the president, despite the unusual use of the language.

This article discusses how languages in Native American communities are near being on the verge of being endangered. This article specifically mentions the Cherokee language. The cause of language disappearance is due to the government and their policies throughout history. For example, children would be beaten if they spoke their native language. The United States have went out of their way to destroy culture as a way to get rid of Native Americans. The Biden administration may have put out a draft of a 10 year plan to restore Native languages.
