If you have never taught a toddler to walk you better where kneepads. One cold September morning before our mother went to work she had asked my brother and I to teach our one year old sister to walk. I knew then that this would be a day that teaching my little sister to cruise would be a day that I would remember forever.
That morning when I woke up my mother asked my brother and I to teach our sister to walk, so after our mother left for work we started the impossible trial. First we tried getting our little sister to stand up which had failed terribly with her faling down and steadily bouncing on the floor.Next we tried holding her up while she walked which shockingly worked even though she didn’t want to participate and fought and screamed

    From the moment infants are born, they go through continuous stages of transitional periods that are detrimental to their development. Remarkably, In just under 2 years infants go from sitting up, to crawling, and finally walking all on their own.

This reflection will discuss this transition with the help of the book Children: A Chronological Approach by Robert V. Kail and Theresa Zolner, the journal article “Crawling and…

    In many ways, individuals often struggle against their fears. The time I experienced this was when I used to ride steers a couple summers ago. It was a hot July day and my dad and I had just finished helping my Rodeo queen sister get ready for carrying flags to start off the rodeo. After when we walked over to the stands to get ready for their riding, I was gearing up to ride one of those beasts they call steers, thinking I was going to get killed.…

    Technology has developed so much over the years that we have relied on it so much. Technology is used in pretty much everything we use nowadays. Living in a neighborhood was the greatest advantage, but having kids the same age as I was even better. There was never a time we weren't outside: rain, shine, snow, miserably cold, or even scorchingly hot. There was 4 of us: 3 girls and 1 guy, all around the same age.…

    Life started getting rough for me around the time that my dad was terminated (11/10/2016). Everything seems to be coming at me all at once. Asides from studying for finals, I was also focused on working two jobs because everything in the house became my responsibility. Mortgage became my responsibility, bills became mine, car loans became mine, expenses in the house became mine as well. I became the support system for my family, both emotionally and financially.…

    The trips were unplanned, as I have traveled to 13 different countries in four continents of the world. At least that was something to brag about after returning home from six years of military service. I would talk about these moments in a heartbeat when topics related to travel surface in conversations. Remembering and reliving those moments brings great fulfillment. Usually, there's a moment in life where I experience home in places I've visited.…

    I still have nightmares about the week when I didn’t have a phone. In my senior year of highschool, my phone got stolen and it took about a week to get a replacement. That week was the longest week of my life. I found myself actually feeling sad and depressed without my phone, which is quite pathetic. When I would go out with friends, I realized just how much of our “hanging out” time actually consisted of us sitting in the same place, but in different worlds.…

    When I was around fourteen, something clicked for me. I had told my parents, mainly my mom, that I would do better in High school. In middle school, my grades were okay, but nothing to be really amazed with. I could have done better, I know I could have, but I was too lost in my head. In class I would daydream, at home I would scribble away in notebooks.…
