As time went on I improved at prompting the children when needed and assisting the child through transitions when they have refused to do a task or when they’re coming back from break. By communicating with my fellow employees and supervisors I expanded my comprehension about different techniques to use in certain programs. This incredible opportunity that opened my eyes to a new variety of career paths. At this point in life I decided to continue my…

Typically in stories we see mothers painted in one of two lights, the first being the all American, doting, and loving mother, the second at times unfavorable or cold. Rarely does the reader get the see the character for both their good and bad in blatant truth. In Tillie Olsen’s I Stand Here Ironing the narrator makes herself transparent to the reader and allows us to see her for exactly who she has been throughout her journey of motherhood, flaws and all.

My classroom is one of two classrooms located in a child care center which is partnered with a Head Start program.

Because many parents would like to shelter their young ones from the harsh realities of life, such as the fact that a person’s best isn’t always enough, for as long as possible, many parents will put up a fight when they are told that their children will no longer receive trophies for participation.

When a giant star explodes into a supernova, it can eject terrifying flash of radiation known as gamma ray bursts, one of the brightest electromagnetic event in the universe. But in order to find the brightest sustaining phenomena, one paradoxically has to look at the darkest thing in the universe: a black hole. Black holes interact with light, reflecting so little, that they do not let any escape. That is dark but the intense energies created by black holes in the process of eating stars is…
