Greensboro sit-ins

learning or retaining information. At the end of the day, the students will pack up their bags and wait patiently for their bus number to be called for dismissal. During this time, students can talk with friends quietly, find a silent reading book and sit in the reading center, or even draw a picture in the art center. As the busses are being called, I will stand at the door with flashcards. On the flashcards will be a sight word, or just a word, when a students’ bus number is called, that…

Some people say that they golf to relax. I however cannot understand that statement. Personally I would rather just throw my first three balls directly into the river and drop my fourth two hundred feet from the green. And I’d rather build castles in the sand trap rather than try to pitch a ball out of it. But somehow in the seventh grade I found myself on the junior high golf team. Although I didn’t know it when I wrote my name on the sign-up sheet, golf would teach me the most important lesson…

For my paper I was fortunate enough to be granted permission to observe some children at the Chinese summer camp where I went when I was younger, the counselors let me sit in and watch them entertain and educate the children from the corner of the classroom. The room was quite small but was able to accommodate me, four adults, 27 kids with ages ranging from 5 to 7, 30 adult size chairs, and a large table in the center. I was able to take more than an hour worth of notes during my stay there…

telling PB that he could use them to add and subtract. Prior to discovering PB was interested in dinosaurs, the teachers were having a hard time teaching him fundamental mathematic skills. However, after he received the dinosaur cutouts, PB was able sit on the floor and move around dinosaur cutouts in order to get his answer. He began to pick up the skills quickly and soon was able to do the problems without the dinosaurs present. I was really amazed that these teachers were able to make…

I used to hate my handwriting; I despised it. My own mother used to deride me for it. She would tell me it must be illegible to anyone who wasn’t me. However, I knew that wasn’t true in the slightest - I couldn’t even read it myself half the time. So, I started to type everything, avoid handwriting at all times. Sometime sophomore year, my friend and I were working on a project together, and she had the loveliest handwriting. She wrote in condensed, flowing cursive that could make words…

way, does this mean the idea of broadcasting your concern in a peaceful manner should be discarded? The Montgomery Bus Boycott’s goal in 1955 was to decrease the amount of racial segregation on buses. White people were to sit in the front of the bus while blacks were forced to sit farther back. If the bus became crowded and a white person needed a seat they would steal one from a person of color who was sitting nearest to the front of the bus. This boycotting resulted in racial segregation…

“Please it was an accident. I didn’t do it on purpose. I simply answered the phone while I was ironing the blazer and it tipped over when I came back after a minute it was ruined,” explained Hayley and gesturing toward the white phone connected on the wall. “I don’t care and what’s worse is that dinner isn’t even ready! All I asked of you is help me around the house and cook dinner when I come home from work. Is that too much to ask you ungrateful brat? All those years I have provided all you…

When it comes to gum, romance usually isn’t something that you think about, but when Extra Gum released their commercial The Story of Sarah and Juan in 2015 it most likely changed a lot of people’s minds- gum equals romance. Extra took this level of an emotional love story farther by using Elvis Presley’s classic “Can't Help Falling in Love” sung by Haley Reinhart which might have you wiping tears away by the end. This ridiculously adorable commercial tells a story of two high school…

It 's June 22nd, just after ten thirty at night. I sit at the dining room table waiting for a phone call. Six hours ago, my daddy went to the hospital to have a few tests done. My mama went with him, and they have yet to return. Outside, the frogs strike up an unnerving tune. Earlier, a strong thunderstorm rolled through, drenching everything and lighting up the sky in flashes. As the frogs reach a crescendo in their song, a pair of headlights enters the driveway, catching the drops of moisture…

I am currently in Miami and I am fortunate enough to sit in on some client interviews. My director on the project is great at making every situation a learning experience. I thought that I would just be taking notes for the next three days because I have little to no clue what is going on or the lingo for…
