The door began to whir, and lifted itself slowly off the ground. I laughed, before crouching and crawling under the rising door. Andy smiled at me. “Hey, Sam,” Andy looked down at me again, still crouched on the concrete ground like a human frog. “I see you brought Luna again.” “She wanted to see what you were making this week,” Sam shrugged,…

read in the lecture notes, I will emphasize what I really thought was interesting and worth reflecting upon. In class, there was a part where the professor was talking about genetically learned trait versus actual learned skills. I didn’t know that crawling was a genetically learned trait and that walking was an actual learned trait. Though I don’t have kids at the present moment, I do plan to have them. With this knowledge in mind, I will teach my kids how to walk and eventually how to run.…

I began working on my flexibility when I was only a year old--I did the splits across the Atlantic Ocean. With one foot in Bulgaria and one in America, I had to learn to hold my stretch for months at a time. Soon after I was carried, swaddled, and sung to on the flight into the United States, I learned to walk and speak English. I have PBS Kids and Looney Tunes mostly to thank for this, though I admit American public education could possibly have had some part in my fluency. It wasn’t long…
