Anita and Me

On the 17th October 2015 we went to watch the performance adaptation of Anita and me at the Birmingham REP by Meera Syal and adapted by Tanika Gupta. The performance starred Mandeep Dhillon as Meena and Jalleh Alizadeh as Anita. The play is a touching example of a beautiful coming of age story and follows the tale of a British-Punjabi girl growing up in the Black Country during the 1970s it explores Meena’s struggle to fit into local culture. She soon develop friendships with both Anita and Sam (played by Joseph Drake), however these friendships soon lead to a struggle between friendship and family. A remarkable moment of the performance for myself was the scene in which Anita and Meena are in the family home, which was created by an intuitive,…

It is of the utmost importance that Americans uphold and honor the true quintessential values upon which our country was founded; values which allow us to function as a democracy. Arguably the most profound is freedom of speech. So that while we indulge in the privileges of today, we regard with great respect the fight that it took to get here.

which is December 21st. I hope this will allow my neighbors to be able to get out and hopefully think about the flyer and bring more goods. If I was to end it right now I would honestly be disappointed in the outcome and how poorly my street performed. I guess it’s alright to say I may have set to high of a goal. Hopefully though they will meet the goal by the time I officially end the pet drive. In the end I would say that if I was to do this again I think I need to plan the timing a little…

The assistant principal ended up being called and he was removed from the room. This is isn’t really how I would have handled it personally. I asked my teacher for help when he was not responding to me hoping she would talk to him because she has a better rapport with the student. However, she called the AP and he was removed from the class over a cell phone issue. My…

I think it is very important for everyone to be able to multitask. A person should be able to do two or more things at the same time and do so effectively. An example of multitasking for me is cooking, cleaning, and paying attention to my son. Now that I am in school I have to be able to squeeze some time into my schedule for my assignments. I can become overwhelming, but it has to be done. Another thing I that would help me is that I am not afraid to ask for help when I need it. There are some…
