to dwell on dreams and forget to live.” Often, when summer comes around, many kids begin to dream about summer camp. Some of those kids actually get to live those dreams like I did, at Camp Widjiwagan, this summer. It was one week of a Harry Potter themed, outdoors day camp. Camp Widjiwagan was one of the best camps I’ve been to complete with fun and new learning experiences from the new and different people, to all the activities they had, to my overall outcome at the end of the week. One of…
MLA citing in text stuff, not sure if it’s needed if only two sources?! Both sources had some identical information as well which would have made it difficult! My entire paper was sourced from the two works above and due to the limited amount of material on Peter Lik, much of the information about him I paraphrased and did the best to put in my own words! No plagiarism is intended! If you would like me to go back and put in text citations please let me know!…
legend. When presented the Shepard’s Journal: a book of Atlantean history, language, and culture, Milo is ecstatic. The man who gives it to him, Preston Whitmore, says the book is gibberish and is most likely worthless. Milo responds with, “I've spent my whole life studying dead languages. It's not gibberish to me. If this were a fake, I would know. I will stake everything I own, everything that I believe in... that this is the genuine Shepherd's Journal.” (Trousdale). Milo dedicating his…
Excited to make my first visit to Poplar Hill Farm, in Jefferson County, Mississippi. Little did I know that I would fall in love with this rural community and many years later be asked to do research work with some of the most wonderful people, that became friends. Armed with hundreds of questions, anticipation and youthful curiosity. Open and receptive to all the stories, they were willing to share, trying to understand their life and the lives of their ancestors, what I did not know…

Throughout my student career, I had many ideas of what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wanted to be a fashion designer, interior designer, professional singer, a business owner, and an entrepreneur just to name a few. I always came back to one profession though. I wanted to be a teacher. Each year in elementary school, I always wanted to teach the grad I had just completed due to the amazing year I had before. I have had many influences, such as family and experiences that encouraged and…
I am really glad we got to plan for and execute this lesson before we actually teach a lesson in our classroom with the students. I not only was able to learn what went well and what I could work on but I also was able to learn from my peers and things that went well and what could be changed in their lesson. It was less pressure to do them with our classmates first than it will be to teach it in a class full of 4th and 5th grade students. For my lesson, I choose to do the topic of immigration…

others were done so painstakingly. Thankfully, these lessons will follow me through my adulthood. I have developed integrity, dedication, and efficiency through my educational, life, and professional experiences, and these will help me to pursue a degree. My first job taught me a very important lesson, how to stay away from trouble. When I was 16 years old, I started working for a small town computer repair shop. Being my first job, I was determined to make a good impression, no matter what. One…
effective lesson plan should be one of the most important things that every teacher should strive to have. When teachers have an effective lesson plan it provides them with a guide for teaching a lesson. This allows for the least amount of distractions because having a lesson plan keeps teachers on track. It also allows for teachers to track students’ progress. Teachers can also set and achieve goals that they want their child students to learn by writing it down in their lesson plans. In order…
