How You Remind Me

“You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take” Wayne Gretzky. Don’t shy away from new challenges. This quote reminds people that when they succeed after they have completed a challenging task, they are rewarded, It also reminds people that they will never know the outcome unless they try.

Great Aunt, this dish brings them back to Spain and reminds them of their late-father. Every time since I could remember they would always talk of their parents and Spain while laughing and cooking the dish. This dish is not only delicious but it holds such a relevance in my family and it has trickled down generations. When my Grandmother was asked “What does this dish mean to you” she responded “Well this dish means everything to me. It reminds of my late father, my old home in Spain. My…

Since I was little this has been issue and I do my best not to be mean to anyone because I know how it can hurt. One of my first experiences of racism that has affected me was when I was in kindergarten. The conflict was between me and another white student, Cameron Jameson. Cameron was this boy who smelled like cigarettes and looked like he was part of some biker gang. He was coming after me like I knocked over every one of his motorcycles. But, I was this sweet little Asian boy who…

Rationale: After the second learning experience, the mentor suggested me to practice how to make the transition runs better by telling the children to pack their toys up then sending them to wash their hands for having their lunch. Telling the children to help their friends to pack up the toys in the classroom is to remind the children to become aware of fairness. Reminding the children to keep quiet when they are on queue while others washing their hands is to help them engage the class rule.…

In the book, Ralph comes in already being a sagacious leader. He reminds me of my older brother, Cale, who is a born leader, and is selfless when it comes to helping other people. He is able to inspire using only his example. They are both very conscious of other’s feelings and thoughts while trying to decide the…

Most times the children including myself have no idea who most of these extra relatives are because previously we only knew a handful now members of the community and church attendees who we once said hello to because our parents accidentally bumped into them after…

from Jordan. Even though the coins have monetary value, for me the sentimental value outweighs the monetary value. They are pretty important to me and my family because they remind me of the cruel world in the Middle East during that time. After a while, I have collected a lot of coins and paper money from different countries that I have visited, but the most meaningful coins in my collection are the Jordanian coins. They have changed me. They are basically the door to my memories. I have…

Popplet. Once done, I will remind the student to keep those words in mind while reading the story. During reading engagement with vocabulary: During the reading, whenever the vocabulary show up on the page we would finish reading that page. I would then pause to ask if they see a vocabulary word or not. If yes, I then would have the student use a color pencil to underline the vocabulary word before continue reading. After reading engagement with vocabulary: Once the…

In her painting The Green Chair, Schille predominately utilizes organic shapes. The dominant subject, or figure of this composition is the little girl staring at ‘you’. In the background, lies what it seems to be a very bright orange wall. The girl sitting on the ground and the chair, lack detail in comparison to the little girl. The little girl’s outfit, accessories, and most importantly her eyes are more defined…
