"Bite my biscuits" from Diary of a Wimpy Kid was inspirational for me because it made me want to explore the crazy side of life. I began to explore this hidden jungle of ideas, actions, and more. I was like Greg and how he thought about new innovations, I wanted to learn more about this jungle. I was truly hooked on exploring this vast jungle.

Back to the forest, I continue marching triumphantly through the rest of my forest. I thank Greg as we pack up our gear into the car, and I tell him "Greg you have helped me through my troubles, and I'm glad we could be triumphant in the end". Once we get out of the car I thank his dad Jeff Kinney for letting me borrow Greg to get through my troubles and life. I walk home after my day in the forest and think to myself I should have met Greg earlier stop me from getting in trouble. As I lay down in my bed I again realize that I am like Greg in how we both get in trouble and we both understand how that changes us.

    Every millennial and generation Z member has heard an older person criticize our generation about being too absorbed in technology, but how much of that is actually true? As our world is progressing with new technology, we must reflect on how our surroundings are impacted, whether it be upon us or nature. In Richard Louv’s book, “Last Child in the Woods”, he critically addresses just that; people and nature are separating. To support his argument, Louv begins with how we are changing nature ’s purpose, then proposes that we are rejecting nature, and ends with the future consequences of our actions.…

    Obstacles faced by youth today and youth in The Outsiders are both, very, different from each other. In The Outsiders an obstacle youth greasers faced was getting jumped by socs because if any greaser got into a fight with a soc it would immediately get put onto the greaser if a police were to show up. Today, if that were to happen both teens would probably get sent to the police station and get put on a warning but not one kid would be accused if they didn’t have any proof of the fight happening. Another obstacle that youth in The Outsiders had faced was when Johnny killed the soc to save Ponyboy, he didn’t have many people to tell because he was afraid, his parents wouldn’t have cared, and he couldn’t tell the police because greasers were seen bad by police even if they didn’t do anything. In our…

    Child Reflective Essay

    From my current placement I have experience of working with a child going through this transition, this had a very big effect on the child holistically. It became obvious to me that the child was very worried and unsettled about this transition as we noticed a negative change in the child's behaviour as he started becoming aggressive to other children and started a tendency to play alone and withdraw himself from the class. There was also a significant decrease in his school work performance as he was very withdrawn and found it difficult to communicate with the other children and sometimes staff. Working within the multi-agency team we introduced this child to an advocate which acted as a professional friend and from this we saw a slight improvement in the child's holistic development and behaviour. When working within the school team, we were part of the multi-agency team who contributed to…

    After reading The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls, I realized how our lives are both similar and completely different. It’s hard for me to wrap my head around the fact that someone who is fairly famous and someone who has no significance in this world can be alike in many ways. Having read this book a few years back, it was actually helpful to me. It may have been helpful in the most indirect way possible, but helpful nonetheless. The Glass Castle had a small part in helping me through my problems with depression and anxiety.…

    Essay On DISC Assessment

    Having never taken the DISC assessment before, I was unsure about what to expect. I thought it was fairly accurate in many ways, but I felt that it very much tapped into what I consider my “work” self and did not cover much of who I am outside of that. I scored a high average score on the D spectrum. This seemed accurate, as I am relatively competitive overall, I like looking at the big-picture, I don’t mind taking risks, I can be critical of those that don’t measure up to my standards and I am very interested in new and innovative things.…
