This year my youth group at northside baptist church went on a ski trip, We went to winter place in West Virginia, We started the bus ride in rock hill south Carolina and the bus ride was about six to seven hours long, Once we arrived at the hotel we all got our bags and went into the lobby area and we dissected the planes and what we were going to do, We got our planners with the schedule and devotions, After that some of us played cards while the others went swimming. The next day we woke up…

Rucker Park Setup Reflection Growing up in Harlem, it’s every kids dream to win the Rucker Park tournament held every summer. What’s so great about this court, people may ask. Well it’s where NBA and street legends like, Wilt Chamberlain, Dr. J, The Goat, and The Helicopter made their starts. Therefore, best friends, Mackey and J.R, want to participate in the tournament, after years of riding the bench. Little do they know on the day of the game, J.R. is fatally stabbed and Mackey feels…

The story choose to develop Alfonsos’s vocabulary will be “The cat and the hat” by Dr Seuss for first and second grader level. This story is very popular book story that will help a child like Alfonso’s vocabulary improvement since he has difficulty with words meaning and connecting the words. One of the learning activity strategy I would design to help him improve his vocabulary skill by the end of his first grade year, so he can learn more words meaning and connection will be by doing…

In a world where most of us are rushing, we need to slow down and have a bit more compassion for one another. We’ve probably all been that person hustling so quickly to get to class or work that we’re sweating under our jacket, letting the fury build up in our chest as the people in front of us move so slowly. So slowly. It’s especially infuriating when we get stuck behind human statues on an escalator. Why the heck aren’t people – at the very least – slowly walking on the moving stairs? In…

There is nothing quite like traveling, like seeing a new place for the first time or returning to a favorite place. As people travel from place to place, they learn new things about the way people in other cultures operate and live their daily lives. The different and unique ways that people from around the world complete and practice daily tasks can be communicated to inspire other cultures to advance their society. Between the time period of 500 B.C.E and 1000 C.E, the silk roads, primarily in…

Up until about 2 years ago, almost all of my perceptions stemmed from what I learned in the environment I was raised in. I did not have my own opinions or beliefs. And I certainly did not have my own way of looking at things. Everything I knew was taken from my everyday life in the incredibly conservative and religious household I grew up in. It was only at eighteen that I took a step back and evaluated my life. Coming to the realization that I didn’t really have any perceptions of my own was…

Narrative Did you ever wonder how it feels when you are young and travel from one country to another foreign country that you have never heard about? For me, it was a very life changing event to move to a Nation that I’ve never even heard of. It came so sudden, One day I was in Ninth Grade, doing class work, and the next moment I was told my Dad is getting deployed back to the United States because of his job in the U.S Army. Then I move to an U.S Army Base, where I’m surrounded by so many…

Because Appetite For Love holds such a treasured place in my heart (I got to interview both male leads--Andrew Walker and Marcus Rosner--and they were kind enough to let a novice feature them), I often find myself going back to my review of that film and attempting to connect with the supporting cast of that momentous film. In the case of Antonio Cayonne, I was so pleased to see that he is again being featured in a Valentine's film on Hallmark, and it was a great joy when he agreed to answer a…

This past term I went on a college visit to Capri. Capri is a college for people to learn hair, makeup, and massages. When we got there, we walked in and there were people at the front desk asking names. once they have your name they gave you a small piece of paper that you had to fill out; so your name could be put in a drawing for a prize. You could walk around to the different stations they had there to look at all the things they had. the first on I went up to was the hair. My mom and me…

“Nothing is perfect. Life is messy. Relationships are complex. Outcomes are uncertain. People are irrational.” This quote was said by Hugh Mackay, the founder of an Australian quarterly research series, The Ipsos Mackay Report. Everyone has different feelings on what a healthy relationship looks like. Some believe you should never fight and always be happy with each other. Others believe in tough love, in order to make the most out of someone you have to push them to their limit. The reality,…
