Monday (Memorial Day in America), I got to visit the beaches of Normandy with the wonderful Collins family. In high school, Ivisited Omaha Beach and American Cemetery at Normandy, but I think it impacted me differently this time. What’s funny is that these beaches are incredibly beautiful and tranquil. They are surrounded by rolling farmland and mooing cows who make the most delicious cheeses. The water of the English Channel is lovely hues of blue and teal, the breeze flits around you, and the sound of waves and birds fills your ears – it’s hard to picture war on these shores. But then you see craters in the earth left from bombs and barbed wire that remains still, sixty some odd years later by the Germans. You try to imagine what it must have looked like to see boats coming in the distance or what it would have been like to look to the shore and see what you were about to battle through. You try to imagine the sounds and the sights, but you just can’t. All you can really know is that these beaches have witnessed incredible bravery and fortitude and have held much death and loss. Throughout the day, I thought a lot about how necessary it is to stand up for what is right and fight for those who can’t defend themselves. I saw the young men who stormed the beaches of Normandy in a new way as they reminded me that hatred and evil actions can’t be tolerated. The Light has to be brought.

I have realized that online degree is getting preferred because accomplishing your college degree online has turned into a popular alternative for many people. A lot of people have not necessarily had a possible opportunity to attend a traditional college or university nonetheless seek the increased earning possibilities and career advancement that a Bachelor Degree provides. Still other folks might have a diploma in one discipline but would choose to pursue anything they now possess an interest in.
