One of the cultural myths that I have fallen into would have to be the ‘colorblindness is progress’. I’ve always seen past people and their color, or where they came from. I enclosed myself in the mindset of ‘I’m not racist because I don’t look at people’s skin color or background’. After learning about color blindness, and realizing that I was apart of it, I now know that this is the wrong way to view humans. Color blindness may seem like a good idea, and the intention might be of good intent;…

Haida Gwaii is an archipelago comprised of over two-hundred islands divided into three main physiographic regions: the Queen Charlotte Ranges, the Skidegate Plateau, and the Queen Charlotte Lowlands (Banner et al., 2014). These diverse landscapes and climates give rise to a wide range of plant species, which have sustained the Haida and their ancestors for over ten-thousand years (Banner et al., 2014). However, these plants are more than just a source of sustenance for the Haida, as they are a…

In Robert Frost's Poem "Stopping By Woods on A Snowy Evening" the speaker chooses to surround himself with the dangers of nature away from the comforts of society; whereas Tennyson's "The Lady of Shalott" is in a tower locked away from the beauties of society because of her own fears. As the speaker in Frost's poem secludes himself from society he notices the dangers around him and what they could potentially cause. In Robert Frost's poem "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" he describes a man…

to spend a couple hours there. While the adults grilled the food, we worked the shaved ice station making ice, adding the flavors, and collecting money. I really liked being able to put a smile on a a little girl’s face by making her a rainbow snow cone. Overall I had a lot of fun and got to know some of the girls from the volleyball program better that I didn’t really know before. Community service isn’t something that can be forced upon a person, for it to matter and have an affect on…

For my science lesson, I taught heat energy. During this lesson, students had to investigate what objects were going to melt when placed under the sun and why certain objects did not melt when we placed them outside. For this lesson, the level of inquiry that was implemented was level two because I told students what they were going to investigate and explore during the experiment, but students had to make their own conclusions based on what they observe. For this lesson, I planned to have…

I noticed that Brianne had an ice cream cone in her hand. “Brianne” I asked looking wide eyed “where did you get the ice cream” “On the top deck next to the pool” Cassidy said answering my question. I noticed that she had a plate with a cheese covered piece of bread I could even smell the tomato…

Growing up in Brooklyn, in the early 90’s was one of the best experiences in my life. I remember the ice cream trucks, corner stores, fire hydrates being opened for the kids especially when there was a block party but most of all, the unity of families and neighbors. Many people will say “Brooklyn, only the strong survive” and I have lived by that phrase my entire life. It showed me the beauty of living in one of the boroughs that makes up New York City and has taught me to be a strong…

Understanding social norms is one of the major formulations people use to keep society running in a respectful, safe, and proper way. In public settings people establish, maintain, and change their personal territories formulated by social norms and other verbal and nonverbal notifications sent by others. The term “public,” specifically means areas where individuals have freedom of access, but not necessarily of action (Guerrero, DeVito & Hecht, 1999). In this paper, I will describe my…

It all started with a chili pepper named Jeffrey ( aka Carolina and/or Jeff ), an Oreo thin named Holly, a classic Oreo named Devon and an ice cream cone named Monica. You see they were all “friends” or so to speak. They all were polar opposites. Jeffrey had a bad temper and got angry at practically anything, Holly, well Holly was super sensitive and over-emotional, Devon was the silliest Oreo you’ll ever encounter, and Monica, oh Monica, she didn’t care, and I mean she didn’t care. She didn’t…
