Little Ice Age

“Sure bro, I’ll pick you up on Friday for Zumba!” Said Ruben. Little did I know that meeting Ruben would open doors to things that I have never seen before. Meeting him seven months ago at an Ice Skating Rink would change my life forever. Meeting him taught me both that I should branch out to meet new people, and that I should watch who I become friends with. The day I went to the Ice Rink, was a chilly one. Cloudy, cold, and just enough to make your nose run. I had on a long black coat with a…

Words can’t explain how different it was. Different in a good way of course. I’m not a picky eater and I will try anything new. Some of the desserts were your basics like ice-cream. I got to try a lot of new different types of food. The staff there are the sweetest people ever and make you feel like a princess or prince. They have great manners, always make sure you are satisfied, make sure you get what you need or ask for…

Transitions are an integral part of the classroom procedures. Transition times can be the most chaotic times of the day in any classroom setting. Transitions are defined as the times during the day when children move or change from one activity to another. These actives could include entering in the classroom, moving to different centers, going to lunch or recess and even going home. Transition times have to be planned carefully and implemented early, because by minimizing transition, we can…

As stated in the first paper written, I’m canalizing the relationship between my boyfriend and me. A little over three years ago I fell in love expectantly at the age of sixteen. I had no idea that we would end up having a future together. My life turned upside down in the best way possible and in the mean time I have learned many life lessons in between. We have had many obstacles but have managed to get through everything together. No relationship is perfect, everyone has moments where they…

So there have been a few events in my life that have changed my view on the world, affected my mental and emotional health, and made me rethink who I am. A lot of those revolve around how gay I am, hence my title. Of course that’s just one aspect of who I am, so not everything that’s happened to me has to do with that. A lot, but not everything. At least not completely. The summer between 8th and 9th grade, I missed my two best friends a lot. Of course I missed all my friends, but it felt…

From this, I was able to learn about all the little things that go into running a gym and how important it is for everything to be running smoothly to make the business look as efficient as it can to customers. First Athlete is located in Edina, MN, and is a central facility for all kinds of athletes…

forget about the stress from school. It was a 30 degree day in Council Grove, Kansas, so everyone was bundled up in coats and complaining about the cold. I run out of the school hop in my truck and floor it home. On my way home I decide to take a little drive out on a dirt road and just cruise for a bit. As I start down this road a thought comes into my head “do you really want to be an accountant for the rest of your life.” I did not know what to think all the way through high school I had…

I come from a figure skating background. From a very young age, most of my time was spent at the rink. Growing up, I undoubtedly spent more waking hours with my skating coach than with my own mother. This cold damp place was home. It is where I trained, ate, did school, socialized, laughed, cried, and even took the odd nap. It was as familiar as my favourite pair of lucky socks (yes, us figure skaters are very superstitious). I knew the best hiding spots, for when I needed time alone or…
