it, beside them. By showing my students that I struggle to get started, or get stuck, or even make spelling or grammar mistakes when I am drafting a paper (gasp), it puts the teacher on a more even playing field with the students, making them feel more comfortable, that taking risks in my classroom is expected. Sharing something one has written can put even the most confident adults in a state of vulnerability. I make sure that I always do what I am asking my students to do, putting me in the same vulnerable state. There is something about being vulnerable together that allows us to share a bond based on trust. Trust. It is the key component that a pitcher needs with her catcher. The catcher calls for the pitch, both need to trust that the delivery will be on point, the pitch will be received with care, and when things are not going well a private conversation can be had, in an effort to win the game. More importantly in the game of life trust is crucial to a positive classroom community. My students need to trust that when I call for the delivery of an assignment, they give it their all, knowing it will be received with the respect and dignity that they deserve. One thing that I do to help build a classroom community based on trust is face to face conferencing. It is single-handedly the best thing that I can do for my students to encourage their writing and build relationships. By conferencing with students I am able to set individualized goals essentially differentiating…

To begin the Constant Stimuli experiment, the lab recruited three subjects including two undergraduate students from the UCI Psychology department subject pool and the author, to finish the tests. All subjects were randomly distributed for gender but most of them were aged from 19 to 21.

All subjects were informed by the researcher about the purpose of the experiment and they held…

Have you ever wondered what instruments the Greeks had? Well, here is three questions you may ask. How much is the floyera like the flute today? How were the Karamouzis made? And, What is the Daouli?

 Musical Notes Can Count Jerri Pineda Abstract— The development of mathematics involves early connections with music and the basic physics of sound. Mathematics is present in the natural occurrence of the ratios and intervals found in music and modern tuning systems. As people age, their hearing becomes dull and require change in the music ratio and interval to hear the same tune as when young. In like manner, the interval increases until a perfect pitch is heard. In this paper we will examine…

the first play, ‘The Pretentious Young Ladies’, a stunning performance by P.M. Williams in the role of ‘La Grange’ overshadowed quite wonderful acts of others. The character’s charming behavior had me believe in his quest to romanticize with one of the pretentious young ladies in the play. The projection of his voice was good enough for the audience, but it is in his vocal variety and his articulation, that he shines. Every words were uttered by him quite clearly, and his variations in pitch of…

As a young child, I can recall my grandparents taking me to a local ice cream parlor in Columbus, Indiana called Zaharakos. The ice cream parlor is most famous for it’s old fashioned ice cream and it’s pipe organ. While you were eating ice cream, you could sit and listen to the pipe organ play in the background on a hot, summer day. In the reading about the pipe organ, it mentions that one of the different ways it makes different sounds is through flue or reed pipes. My question would be, what…

stepped in for a challenge, winning the ball, and clashing knees with my opponent. My knee began to swell and I thought it was just a typical bruise, no big deal. The game continued and I continued to push myself for the team. Moments later, it was my turn to step up for a free kick. As I planted my left leg into the turf, my quad and patellar tendon worked together and pulled in opposite directions, popping my kneecap horizontally right down the middle. I laid there for what seemed like…

What once was a mere burning match, weak and fragile, has grown into a magnificent wildfire, capable of engulfing the entire planet itself in its flames. Passion. For anything imaginable, those with it can shine far brighter than any other. I’ve always envied those with something they could cling to and call their passion, never having it myself. After years of searching, it appeared. It had been by me all my life. Yet, only some time ago did I reach out to it, lighting a flame of passion inside…

I am a native of Ethiopia. The environment I lived in was pessimistic. I grew up holding back on my dreams and not being the best I can be. As I progressed in school, I was always told that I could not make it and that I was weak. Girls do not have that much value in my society; therefore, I was told I had no power and I could not achieve what I sought. I went to a predominately male school. My school had ample opportunities for the majority of the students, but not for me since I am a girl. I…
