ANALYSIS OF ALTERNATIVES FOR A LOW-COST TRANSPORTATION Catholic University requires a new transport system for its students who live off-campus, at Maryland. Analyses of alternatives enable us to select the most cost-efficient, reliable, and affordable mode of transport. Factors to consider are distance, fueling costs, reliability of the method, and the number of students transported daily. It is also essential to familiarize with the locations by touring the neighborhood to check available transport methods. The most viable options are by either rail or road. The school’s proximity to a rail station makes trains an alternative. On the other hand, highway road offers additional options such as buses or cycling.

I believe who we are and what we become is a series of choices that we make throughout our lives. The incidences that happened throughout our lives, leaving behind memories, often shape our personality. The recollection of these memories forms the root with which our future blossoms. I remember one fall morning, November 27, 2000; I took my first breath of air in Seattle, Washington. My parents had allowed us to spend our thanksgiving together with our grandparents. I love my grandparents not just for their overprotective and warmth they offer but the life lesson that they impart on us. By then, I was just an innocent little boy radiant and perceived life as joyful; hate was not in my vocabulary. Thanks for giving has always been my best holiday since we come together as a family and celebrate. I meet with my cousins to whom they are cheerful and always…
