In a Grove

Though, the story doesn't give details about the dreams and ambitions of the main characters in specific or the Cuban immigrants in general, which may be attributed to their migration to America, there were many explanations about the kind of disappointed lives they had in US. Below some of the comments: When Maximo realizes, his University of Havana credentials meant nothing in US, "after teary nights of promises", he convinces his wife to make lunch to sell to the sugar men (Menéndez,…

Observing her day, made the NASP practice model come to life as I encountered the necessary skills of a school psychologist being applied in many different scenarios and settings. School Psychologist Jennifer services three different school sites in Elk Grove, and we were at all three of them the day I was there. Immediately upon arriving promptly at the start of the work day, I noticed that she was already involved in a consultation with the school principal regarding a student who was having…

The most important thing anybody can do is educate yourself about how gangs operate and look for gang activity in your neighborhood and community. “The Garden Grove Academy listed six autonomous girl groups of ten to twenty, aged 13 to 20 years.” They are described as aggressive and violent, copying some of the same violence as their male companions. If you notice these young juveniles involved in such activity…

half-torn down playground was right next to it, staring down the entrance to the school. Walking to the entrance doors, you see the trailers used as classrooms because at one point, the school was littered with kids from the whole county, but Youngs Grove Elementary sucked up all the kids like vacuums. When, you enter the double doors, you see the kindergarten and first grade hall. It is littered with painting on the walls of fireplaces, posters of coins and simple addition problems, and fake…

Imagine a town that is small enough that people know each other very well, but also is big enough to keep meeting new people. My hometown of Cary, Illinois is a very inviting place where people are friendly to new members of the community and also keep close relationships with community members as well. I believe this small community has allowed me to really be myself and be confident that I will find people and friends who like me for who I am. My hometown of Cary Illinois has a population of…

Instead of the regular smoothbore muskets, the Springfield 1861 was invented using the new minie ball. These bullets were shaped like a cone with a hollow inside, and on the outside were three grooves packed with grease. The groves would give it a spin while coming out of the barrel which made it more accurate. When the bullet hit, “It didn't just clip the bone the way the modern steel-jacketed bullet does; you didn't have any bone left up there.” (Foote) The bone-crushing bullets…

Mental Health and Its Role in the Occupational Therapy Setting Mental health can influence persons of all ages, ethnicities, cultures, and income levels. Duckworth (2013) states the National Alliance of Mental Illness illustrates that “approximately 1 in 4 adults in the U.S experiences mental illness in a given year. Approximately, 20% of youth ages 13-15, and 13% of youths age 8-15 experience mental disorders in a given year.” Unfortunately, many adults and children in the U.S will experience…

I. Intro Malcolm X once said, “Education is our passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to the people who prepare for it today.” As this country’s demographic continues to shift, we must recognize the value of minorities achieving educational and economical success as a vital part of this country’s prosperity. In 2000, minorities comprise approximately 30% of the population in the United States(U.S Census Bureau). In 2010 that number increased to 37% and will maintain a steady increase.…

affect my feelings towards the murder of Santiago Nasar and create a sense of uncertainty or clarity. The most eminent passage of the weather describes both a poor and a placid atmosphere: Most people coincided in recalling in through the banana groves, as was to be expected in a fine February of that period. But most agreed that the weather was funereal, with a cloudy, low sky and the thick smell of still waters (4). Some people remember the weather on the unfortunate day of the murder as…
