I knew Professor Flower was my favorite professor when he stated “I will never repeat an outfit”. From day one he presented himself with so much integrity and seemed to have a great deal of authority but wills it with such grace to the point where you can’t help but wish to become him. His gentleman like demeanor lingered in the air and it was contagious. He presented himself as the strap up your boots and make it happen type of man (but he wouldn’t actually be wearing boots, of course, more…

The exhibit tells me a lot about the background of Viki, one of the basket makers in the United States or specifically in Indiana. Besides that, the exhibit also tells me a lot about the process of making baskets. The process might be difficult for someone who is not familiar to basket making. There are three essential tools that are needed to make baskets and the tools are spitzka, pruning shears and pocketknife. All of these tools are required to shape and bend the willow to become a perfect…

When I woke up Sunday morning I observed the snow-bound city. It was particularly cooler in New York than Pittsburgh but it wasn't anything I wasn't accustomed to. Knowing I wouldn't have much time before I was stripped of my freedom, I pondered on my future. It was already late in the day so instead of going into mental dismay I began to prepare breakfast. That afternoon I was greeting by a Freshman from Yale University. Shawn was his name. I was particularly intrigued by his presence. He had…

The server arrived at our table within 2 minutes. Hello, Ma'am how are you today? Can I get you'll start with something to drink? We ordered water, for the time being, we had been talking at had not even looked at the menus. She replied that her name was Rachel and that she would be our server. Rachel returned with our waters and we placed our order with Rachel. Rachel wrote down our orders but did not repeat the orders back to us to confirm the orders. Rachel did not ask would be like to add…

There are a lot of mundane tasks or activities that we participate in on a regular basis that use hidden rules that we do not even acknowledge. Theodore Caplow wrote an article that examined the cultural norms surrounding Christmas and the conformity surrounding them, this helped inspire me to investigate the concealed principles that are present during the most simple of tasks. I went to the Drayer Physical Therapy Institute in Hummelstown and observed the behaviour taking place in the waiting…

This little accident better produce a traumatic brain injury. ~ Wobbling up the driveway, she met Pete working on his rubber band ball. “Hey, what’s wrong, Millie?” Rubbing her head, “I don’t know. I think I crashed your bike.” “Get off right now!” He made a careful inspection, “I don’t see any scratches. Hey, what happened to your face?” Thunder rumbled in the distance as Millie tried to see the back door through her blurry eyes. She tripped over the threshold and stumbled into the kitchen.…

There I stood, a short, awkward little girl with a boyish haircut that reached to just about my ears, replicating half of an upside down coconut. I carried a bright pink backpack with a matching lunchbox that looked massive next to my particularly small frame. My sneakers lit up with each hesitant step that took me closer and closer to my classroom. When I finally made it, rows of small chairs and a huge green chalkboard stood in front of me, and that was when I lost it. I cried so loud…

Conducting a short observational, I will watch students and faculty at South College to see if health care students chose to use stairs or an elevator to go to the upper floor classrooms. Tracking if gender, extra weight like books, and whether they are going up or down floors effects the choices they make. Weighting the results and coming up with the percentages to see if health care students chose the healthy option when it comes to stairs or elevators. Stairs Versus Elevator Usage at South…

Every kid wants to experiment when they are younger. Some of us just seem to make a massive mess when we do it. Of course our parents always tell us that we should be careful not to stain our carpets with anything, and that is where I made my mistake. I was sitting in my room bored with nothing to do. May I remind you that this is not a good thing for a seven year old to be doing. I was thinking about what I should do, and it came to me. I wanted to make a colorful painting! I ran upstairs and…
