doors included yet more multi-pane windows. The community center itself was the perfect example of public planning and architecture. “In 1992 eighteen of the buildings, two structures and one site were listed in the National Register of Historic Places.” (Matanuska-Susitna Borough Cultural Resources, 2005, p. 5) It is truly amazing that the community center was planned and built so quickly and has withstood the harsh Alaskan winters for nearly 80…

Reading has always been a part of my life. Starting from a young child all the way up to where I am now I can remember many different ways reading has impacted my life. For some people reading is what they did to pass the time, but for me it has always been different. Being a small child I did not enjoy the outdoors in the same sense other children did. When I went outside I wanted to sit by a tree and read a book instead of run around and play on the playset. As I got older nothing really…

Looking back at being a buddy reader for an entire school year, I truly enjoyed it and am happy that I decided to be a buddy reader. The students I’ve read to all had different personalities and quirks. Some were quiet and attentive to the story, some would make comments as I read, and others wouldn’t pay attention.

Throughout this course I'm hoping to improve my reading and writing skills. As a child my parents would read books to me around bedtime.…

not swear other than that. Quite a few people around here don’t really like it because they have some type of religion that they follow really well. That is one of the most irritating things to some people. I need to work on using different word in place of the bad…

Reading- I will find time to read every night for at least 30 min. This will help me keep a consistent reading schedule that will allow me to manage my time wisely while still getting to read every day. I can do this by making a designated time for myself to read each night before I go to bed. I will need to create a routine for myself to follow in regards to my reading. When I read, I will make sure I slow down enough to fully absorb all the details the author has put in the book. I often…

Firstly, the authentic Stones battlefield is much greater than the national military park that exists today. Many places where individual wrestled and perished have been converted into shopping areas, yards, and highways among other developments. For instance, a four-lane flyover was constructed head-to-head with the Stones River battlefield that modifies the terrain…
