I was very interested to observe development within the family context, so I examined my infant sister, Reagan, and her interactions with our mother. In order for me to observe them, I video streamed a camera to their home in Senoia, Georgia. This was a very unusual and interesting experience. With the help of an infant…

Hearing my mother’s voice waking me up at 5 o’clock in the morning during my summer vacation was not always my cup of tea. This was supposed to be my time to sleep in and enjoy not going to school.

During the summer my mother had to go off to work everyday while my father would work around the farm. Every summer I spent the entirety of my time helping my father out on the farm. He…

GMOs are produced by forcing DNA from one organism into another. Soybeans, corn, canola, plums, and rice are few of the GMOs occurring in our world. Products continue to be developed and experimented in laboratories. Naturally modified organisms bring up the question about GMOs and if there is a difference between the two.…
