Felt

I was aware about my race, but always felt like I was white, just like my friends. When I was 18 years old, I moved for college where 85% of the student population was white. I even made a joke that I was accepted to the school because they needed to admit people of color. I felt at ease being surrounded by white people, similar to the ones that I grew up with, but a part of me felt guilty for never embracing my Hispanic side. Dalmage (2013) describes how multiracial…

but may not tell parents when they are scheduled to be absent from school. Parents also felt that teacher’s attendance rates and reasons for being out were acceptable. The parents interviewed do think that achievement is compromised while the teachers are out. They felt that substitute teaches in general do not know the content and basically the day is “wasted” if the teacher is not there. Parents felt that substitutes should be qualified to teach the content of the class. Parents’…

nervousness overtook the excitement. I realized that I would actually have to sing in front of all my friends, teachers, and random strangers. I couldn’t decide which of those three made me more nervous. Time seemed to slowly creep by. After what felt like ten hours it was finally time for the…

It was a crisp night in Febuary 2 years ago. The moon beamed down on us. I felt the brisk breeze across my ears and face. My nose was running like a waterfall. We all looked like ripe tomatoes. Then my whole team ran out of the tunnel similar to a pack of bulls running after a red towel. We all zipped to the side line. We all huddled together to stay warm. We heard the 1,000 fans yelling in the background. I felt the bitter air rush past my ears as I ran down the field. As I stood on the…

to them anymore. While the two groups may have started off being eery of one another, the attitude between the two group definitely deteriorated over time: the Native Americans felt that the Europeans stole their land, the Europeans felt that the Native Americans were to be killed, but there were some Europeans that felt that the Native Americans had suffered enough. The Europeans’ main goals in coming to the present day United States of America was to take land and to use it as a way to make…

their problems with each other On August 15, 1944, Suzy went down to the refugee camp to give some kids two candy bars. She had felt creeped out when Leah was looking at her from a distance. Leah, on the other hand, felt pinned in, because of the refugee camp. A month later, September 2, 1944, Suzy went back down to the refugee camp and…

container and began to cry. “I never knew when this time would come” she said peering up from the white box. I looked at her puzzled… she continued. “Vance is not your biological father” I looked at her stunned. I wasn’t stunned at this news as I always felt different from my siblings. Not to mention the slurs Vance would throw at me when he was upset with my mother. He’d ask me “where’s my first daughter?” referring to my younger sister. I was stunned my mother mustered up enough courage to…

all began when I started to feel horribly sick in the morning. My head felt nauseous. Once I got up from sleeping, I felt very weak. I went to school like that and got sent back because I felt like I was going to puke during school. When I got back home my mom checked my temperature and I was alright. I told her I felt very weak and wanted to vomit. She gave me medicine for dizziness and it actually helped me, but I still felt like I was going to throw up. I stopped eating because I thought I…

one of the highest contributors to creating positive motivation. Inequity was the largest factor that was cited to decrease motivation. As all interviewees felt that rewards were not granted on merit or performance, instead they were granted on personal beliefs and opinions. Surprisingly, with the lack of appreciation and inequalities felt throughout the interviews, all subjects agreed that levels of high performance resulted in promotion and increased compensation. However, with increased…

Have you ever felt frustrated with yourself because you feel like you do not fit in with the people who surround you? As a child I felt like an outsider from both my friends and family. Growing up I was surrounded by friends who only spoke one language and grew up with the American culture, but in my family I was the only one who did not know how to read and write my first language, Spanish. I always felt different than my peers. I was jealous of the Spanish skills my cousins had just like…
