Everyone makes judgements of their surroundings: it’s a part of being human. We fit things into groups, like pets, scary things, or things we can sit on. Within these groups, there are smaller groups, like separating pets into dogs and cats. Those groups can continue to get more and more specific. At a glance, a person can determine the difference between a German Shepherd and a chihuahua and act accordingly. This is true for people too. Our society claims to be “colorblind,” but when was the…
Diversity can be a very hard concept for some because it is a concept that states every individual has different characteristics and is unique. One characteristic of an individual is which hand they write with, I write with my right and I am not a Left handed individual also known as “Lefty”. This is a form of diversity, diversity can be found anywhere from school, extracurricular activities and the workplace. Individuals should not fall into ethnocentrism, which is when we believe our culture…

inferences would be made from the data. Also, I might want to add another object to pick up with chopsticks (such as dice or peanuts). This would add two more treatment groups. Lastly, I would want to block the participants so that an equal number of left-handed people were in each treatment group. This would help make the experimental results more representative of the general population. I would also want to survey the participants to understand and evaluate their past experience with using…

We safely make it to Carlos school and I head to my Chemistry class that starts at nine in the morning a few class mates asked what happened…

When reading the article “Becoming a Culturally Responsive Early Childhood Educator: A Tool to Support Reflection by Teachers Embarking on the Anti-Bias Journey by Dora W. Chen, John Nimmo, and Heather Fraser,” I learned that I need to be aware that any bias that I might hold even if I am not consciously aware of those biases can affect children’s education. Do I believe that that bias exists in today’s classroom? Yes, I actually do think that bias exists in classrooms and if you think about it…
Savasana is known for the one of the final poses in yoga. It creates a deep restoration and relaxation for the individual to escape the “real world” and enter a familiar and or comfortable place where an individual can relax the body, mind and soul. My favorite place to visit in my mind during savasana is the beach. I first imagine my body lying on a beach chair. The chair has flimsy straps across each side that supports my body and towel. I can either prop the chair completely up, or lay it…
Some may say in an unbearable voice, “Writing is so boring! I don 't want to write, be creative, or write essays about any historical event.” I was not surrounded by many lovers of writing growing up. That is why I appreciate writing as much as I do. It is the sense of being unique and not following the crowd of literacy haters that gave me my gratitude. It is a way to transform my inner thoughts into something worthy of pen and paper. From little jots about cats and dogs from my youthful days…
