In Martin Meyerson’s Building the Middle-Range Bridge for Comprehensive Planning (1956), he advocated a sort of “intelligence function of planning” that provides a “middle-range bridge” between long term comprehensive planning and the daily routine (p. 60). In other words, this sort of planning involves information gathering, scenario creation, testing, evaluation, which may all be implemented on a regular basis to support the governing functions of an urban planner. Meyerson is careful to distinguish
readily perceive about me is the story as to how I got to the desk next to theirs. In my first year of middle school, I made poor choices as to whom I considered my friends; I neglected to surround myself with people that would bring out the best in me. My naive self was unable to comprehend the repercussions that would arise. Little did I know that starting early as middle school, my school district divides students based on their mathematical ability, which positions students to study more advanced
New Orleans School system is one that many people may be unfamiliar with, such as the different schools provided, admission requirements, and school boundaries. However, Many African Americans nationwide face this very issue of attending schools that inadequately address disconnects between what occurs in and outside of the schools parameters. It has long been an issue in determining what possible structure is most optimal in properly educating the disadvantaged and underprivileged. It has been
learned from my failure was much bigger than that. This failure affected the entire course of my life. Going into freshman year, I had never failed a class, let alone a test, or even a quiz. I proudly lived a life with minimal failures. Unfortunately my ego bested me, and I believed I was immune, but I learned early on that this was not the case. Freshman year brought many new things, failure included. I began my high school career as a shy and nerdy new girl at a huge public school, one nothing like

Students in elementary, middle, and high school all know the feeling of advancement; to progress to the next grade level and start a new school year. This type of progression is much like a cycle.

In the seventh grade, I attended off-season workouts for the middle school softball team. Each day I was committed to becoming a better softball player. I have been playing softball since third grade, but I have continued to believe that there is always room for improvement. When the time came for tryouts to begin, I walked onto the field with a determined attitude. During the next three days of tryouts, I played to the best of my ability. The morning came for the posting of the names of the
Benjamin Franklin once noted, “Do not fear mistakes. You will know failure. Continue to reach out.” Personally, I feel that failure can sometimes be the greatest accomplishment one can achieve. The summer going into my freshmen year, I faced failure. That summer, I decided to try out for my high school’s cheerleading team. I was devastated to find out that I did not make the team but more importantly, I continued to stay positive, never doubted myself, and instead stayed strong. Even though I did
Education was instrumental to the development of the Civil Rights Movement and essential to the new legislation being passed, I still insist that Brown has yet to achieve its intended purpose of school desegregation. Furthermore, I am not sure it is entirely possible to claim that Brown is either a success or failure, whereas it makes more to describe it as having its strengths and weaknesses.
