When I got to high school, marching band influenced me even more. I was always on time for everything. My parents only had to worry about me their busy child so rushing was not the problem. At our first meeting, the band director told us that we were ok for being on time, but we needed work. He told us “if we are early, we are on time, if we were on time, we are late, and if we are late, we are left behind.” I became more punctual. I have to be early to everything. I get really angry at myself if I was late because I feel like I am missing out on

    Language and terminology develop over time in academia resulting in some words being left behind and forgotten. In anthropology, some would argue that the concept of culture has similarly run its course in the field, but they would be wrong.
