The univerese declared that this isn't going to happen. Monday is Test day. What's sad is that if this was eleven, twelve, fifteen years ago, I would be graduating today. Embarking on the wonderful and slightly terrifying journey filled with responsibilites and taxes that is called adulthood. And it was the…

Diá de Muertos, otherwise known, to you Americans, Day of the Dead. Even though people say it's the same thing as Halloween in America, it's so much different.

I would want to help maintain a constant environment for the zero to two-year-olds.…

class whether it was for academic instructions or disciplinary reasons, she addressed her students as “friends”. This simple act promoted a sense of community and friendship between the teacher and the students themselves. After my first initial day of observing the classroom environment, I focused on aspects that affected school culture.

Unfortunately, we lost an angel. However, an important fact in this situation would be the lack of adult supervision. It is said that every morning there are 2-3 adults supervising the crosswalk and helping children cross the street, unfortunately that day no one was supervising.

Memorial Day is a day reserved to remember those who have lost their lives in active military service. Often times the true meaning of this holiday gets lost somewhere along the way. Memorial Day, for numerous people, is a day off from work/school, a trip to the beach, or a barbeque with friends and family. It is saddening to imagine that some people may not even think about the millions of men and women who didn’t make it home from the battle field, on the day organized just for that. What does…
