Take Rest Days. Rest helps your body repair. âIf you are trying to be a âstreaker,â recovery becomes very important as youâll be using and stressing the same muscles, joints, and bones each and every day,â says Person, whose longest streak was 45 days. Those ârestâ days should be the bare minimum of one mile.
How this private college maintains a $1 billion endowment without charging tuition. Berea College, a liberal arts college located in Kentucky, has a massive $1 billion endowment. But unlike other private liberal arts colleges with whopping endowments, Berea has accumulated its endowment all while offering four-year degrees to students tuition-free.
The Texas Legislature appropriated $2 million for the endowment in 1854, and it has since grown through funds generated from land investments across the state, including monies from mineral resources sales and rentals. The State Board of Education (SBOE) runs the endowment and approves all appropriations. The fund usually pays for textbooks for Texas schoolchildren and guarantees bonds issued by local school districts. The SBOE has also considered using it to fund charter schools. The value of the fund, based on investments and market values of land and oil, fluctuates unpredictably.
