Anzac Day

After the storm was over—a full seven days and six nights of being homebound—a group of my friends and I got together outside of the Puttingneg city library after the martial law was lifted and streets cleared. The library sat on three acres of land. It had a garden and beautiful pond with gold fish. The castle shape library had four towers and many windows. The building was made of marble bricks. As you enter the front entrance, the oval double doors was made of solid bronze. James, Cindy,…

Decision making is something that we do every day. It’s something that’s so habitual that we don’t even think about it. I know I never really thought about it until reading into how it’s done and what affects our decision. During Memorial Day weekend, I used System 2 decision making. This is a more conscious and logical method than system 1. When I went shopping to get new shoes, my sister told me that Payless had a “buy one get one half off” sale for memorial day weekend. I knew that Payless…

usual, but it was still a very nice night. Today was valentines day and I was taking a cab home from the airport where I work to my house in Brooklyn. A majority of my friends got the day off today but unfortunately not myself. Valentines day is one of my favourite times of the year and it was very disappointing that I could not get the day off. Valentines day is bittersweet for me. I met the love of my life a few years ago on this day. His name was Tom. He was always dressed in nice clothing,…

Shouldn’t The Gap Decrease With Age? The gap also increases with age. Younger men and women pay gaps are closer together and expand further apart as women get older. Ages 18 to 24 the gap is at 88%, at age 25 to 34 it lessens to an 86% difference, and after age 35 the gap closes to 76% of what men earn (consequences for women). Why would the gap widen with age, when the gap should close because of experience gained? This is because of what people would called the “mommy penalty”. The mommy…

I came home to unpack the night before the first day of 8th grade started. I had just spent a week with my dad before summer vacation came to an end.

But to my great surprise, they told me that they were getting a divorce and Ron would be moving out that night. Those next couple weeks were kind of a blur. My mom was calling our…

Mainly because there is a lot of variance in the day and the routine depending on the needs of the environment. However, our classroom usually has up to 4 students if all are in attendance, and being that we only attend half a day, their is usually an activity already taking place so…
