My name is Delano Myrie and I want to do something with mental health. Probably something with therapy to be more exact. I also have a dying youtube channel that I sometimes post on and I work at Starbucks.
Valentine's day origin may seem innocent but it's quite the opposite. In the multiple articles that explain the origins of the holiday, I chose "The Dark Origins of Valentine's Day" by Arnie Seipel. I found this one appealing because it had the most intriguing title and had more life in general. Yes, all of these articles did a good job at detailing the true nature of the holiday but only one did it in an interesting way. The article "History of Valentine's day" by the history channel was well informed but overstocked with facts. There was no life to the article at all. Unlike the article written by Arnie, "The Dark Origins of Valentines Day" had facts but also had personality in the writing. In conclusion, "The Dark Origins of Valentine's Day" outshined the other articles because it was the most unique and not bland like the others. sources: https://www.npr.org/2011/02/14/133693152/the-dark-origins-of-valentines-day ...

George Edwin Taylor was born in 1857 and was a journalist until he got involved in politics. He got into politics because he saw the lack of representation and interest for people of color in politics. George knew he would be taken lightly by white people but still continued with his beliefs. Using the platform given to him by the all black third party, he showed that people of color had interest of having power in politics.

He was viewed as an idol due to his example of perseverance and bravery for this matter. Years after his death, there was a continuation of all black independent political parties as well. African Americans now play a futile part in polit...
Thomas Edison is most associated with the light bulb but he didn't actually invent it. That being said, it should be viewed as a wrongdoing that he continuously is the face of the light bulb. Although, Edison did play a part in providing aid to this innovative creation. This fact alone shouldn't give him all the glory of the creation. The credit should be mostly given to the true inventor of the light bulb, Frederick De Moleyns. Nearly 40 years before Edison, Frederick claimed the first patent lightbulb in 1841. Although, the light bulbs weren't commercially viable and too expensive. Joseph Swan also created another version of the light bulb a year before Edison but ran into the same consumer problem as Frederick. Finally, Edison came into the picture and created his own version of the light bulb. Unlike the other two men, Edison found a way for his to be commercially viable to the masses. Now if you want to say Edison was the first to make the light bulb commerc...
