¶ … 2003, I withdrew from the Washington State University after having been placed on academic probation. In retrospect, I lacked the necessary motivation at the time to devote my most conscientious efforts to my academic studies, partly because I was experiencing a degree of disconnection between my studies and their practical application to the real world.
A hoped to rekindle my motivation to succeed academically in my chosen major field of study, (Human Development), by involving myself first-hand in some of the foreign cultures and practices with which my only familiarity to date came from my reading. I spent approximately half a year in Australia, where I lived and worked with native Australians.
My experiences in Australia included working, in a very hands-on...
Despite the fact that I was working in Australia by choice, I could not help feeling almost envious of some of the foreign tourists with whom my work brought me into contact. The experience helped me appreciate my good fortune to have been born and raised in North America, where one's future truly does lie in one's own hands.
Just as I had hoped, my time away from a formal academic setting did renew my commitment to complete my degree, but it also had another unanticipated but very beneficial effect on me: after experiencing some of the hardships of everyday life from which most American university students are insulated, I appreciate the…
Living in Hawaii also contributed to my motivation to pursue a meaningful career, because I had the opportunity to visit the Pearl Harbor Memorial to the American servicemen and civilians who perished on December 7, 1941, whose lives were cut short at approximately the same age where my adult life is only just beginning, and which is limited only by the amount of effort I am willing to put in over the short-term to achieve my vocational goals over the much longer term.
Since returning to Washington State, I have continued working to save money to further my education at the University. I believe that my time away from a formal academic environment has helped me put many issues in their proper perspective; specifically, the importance of making the most of my good fortune and the opportunity to devote myself to completing my degree in order to pursue a meaningful career that will enable me to contribute toward the betterment of others who may be less fortunate.
I, therefore, very respectfully submit my application for readmission to the University.

That assertion has been discredited by authoritative / independent sources subsequent to the American occupation of Iraq, but some members of the Bush Administration - and others who support the administration - still contend that Iraq (prior to the American occupation) was a state sponsor of terrorism. In another article published by the Council on Foreign Affairs, the writer explains that Saddam Hussein's regime has provided training camps, operating bases,
Catholic church and public policy have remarked that the members of American clergy in general, without even excepting those who do not admit religious liberty, are all in favour of civil freedom; but they do not support any particular political system. They keep aloof from parties, and from public affairs. In the United States religion exercises but little influence upon laws, and upon the details of public opinion; but it
