There is not an area set aside in case a child becomes over-stimulated. Voices are heard throughout the classroom without echoes. The room is only noisy during center time and when a child is upset. It is easy to listen and focus on a child next to you unless a child was being distracting by throwing a…

Fourth Grade – It was a crisp day in early fall. The wind was blowing softly. The fourth graders were lined up outside, ready to go in after a fun day of recess, eager to get away from the chilliness. The fifth graders were already outside, engaging in a rowdy, yet fun game of kickball.

Moving from a country to another is already hard enough. Having to adapt and even learn a new language makes it twice as difficult.

I had to get accustomed to practically a new way of living. I had to get used to a new culture and a new way of communicating. I started fourth grade here and I was put in an ESL class. My first year in school wasn’t as…

To prove unable to speak when it is expected of you, for reasons either hesitant or uncertain, is to realize how voiceless you truly are. And it is the goal of this generalized introvert to acquire that voice, to speak freely alongside their peers, and become normal in the eyes of their perceived society. For me and in my pursuit of voice and…
