will be found in my house as it has many purposes for me and my family. Age 5-10 - Cap’n Crunch Cereal 1. Then: As a kid, I loved this cereal as much as my sisters did. I am the oldest of four girls and when our mother went grocery shopping, you could count on at least two of us grabbing a box and putting it into the grocery cart. 2. Now: I still love this product, but much less of it, too much sugar; however, I will enjoy it once in a blue moon for great tasty memories. This is a great example of hitting the “sweet spot”. Ages 5-10 - Holly Hobby Lunch Box, produced by American Greeting Corporation 1. Then: To a 10-year-old, this lunch box rocked! I was in school and it was the “in thing” to carry your lunch to school. Most of my friends had a metal type of lunch box that contained their favorite cartoon character on the outside with a matching thermos for the inside. 2. Now: A metal lunch box now only brings back great memories and good laughs with friends. I was lucky enough to have a couple while growing up, before I was given the brown paper bag to carry lunch. That is when it was no longer cool to have a metal lunch box and the beginning of middle school. My all-time favorite lunch box ended up being Josie and the Pussycats. Today, if I found one, I would keep it for nostalgic reasons only. Age 10-15 - Schwinn Bike (Banana Seat) 1. Then: I had a blue Schwinn banana seat bike that I rode all over the neighborhood on with my friends. This was my mobile…
and dice are hidden so our characters may not know their fates. To his right sits Diego who brings along with him a leather-bound notebook with an atlas of Earth illustrated across it. He uses a single set of stone gray dice with a bright red numbering. To Diego’s right is Aaron. He places on his lap a green binder that holds his character sheet and loose-leaf paper. In front of him is one of the black, wooden dice boxes that I had crafted for the group. He uses an array of dice but his main…
Processed foods have been around for far longer than most people know about. Before I opened this book I didn’t have much knowledge on exactly how many foods are actually processed, as a matter of fact it hardly ever crossed my mind. Before I eat a specific food I usually check the nutrient facts of the label but I always check for carbs, sugars, percentage of sodium and so on. I always looked at a box of cereal and thought, “wow this cereal has 300% daily value of vitamin A, how that was even…
The observation ended at 12:40 pm for duration of 30 minutes. J.H is a five-year-old male in an ICT classroom. The class has 16 students and two teachers. The classroom tone was quiet and calm. The lights were turned off, windows were open and sunlight shined throughout the classroom. At the time of the observation, the special education teacher, Ms. H, was leaving because she was in the process of recovering from surgery. The general education teacher, Mrs. W, lead the class from the recess…
and appropriate for most situations. Aunt Lis informed us that American children brought their lunch to school or bought lunch in the cafeteria, accordingly, with lunch boxes in hand, Mom and Aunt Lis escorted us to school on our first day. When we arrived at the Administration Office, Lis introduced us to the school’s Vice Principal and reiterated that Ellen and I did not speak English, after which Mom kissed us, wished us good luck and felt a touch of anxiety as she turned us over to the…
so that it would go faster and gave me a pocket knife to make me feel better. As I opened the first box I realized that it was full of clothes. Mark found books in his box, another box was full of trophies from soccer and basketball. All these boxes were full of someone’s personal things, we decided that it all belonged to the family that was living there before us and they probably just forgot to take this stuff. I opened up the last box and inside it was this other box. The box was small and…
below us was probably the most beautiful sight I have ever seen. The clear waters with the beautiful reefs and exotic fish. The helicopter pilot said it was probably the most beautiful day that he had ever seen. He was so mesmerized by it, that he lost control, and the helicopter crashed. There were only 2 parachutes, and at that time I was only a small child. My dad and the pilot couldn’t survive. Late that night, after my homework was done,I heard a loud crash from the garage. I tiptoed…
wrap the presents,” they whispered, hopping onto the table and trying to push boxes. She watched, horrified at first, but after a while she adjusted to the way they looked and was bothered more by them trying so hard to move boxes that were clearly too big for them. She inched her way over and picked up a tiny jewelry box. She rolled out a little bit of paper onto the floor, cut it to the right size, and put a roll of tape next to it. She put the jewelry box in the middle. “Why don’t you guys…
symbolism to show that evil can be present in the most innocent environment, resulting in society being tainted with dark illusion. Superstitious tradition symbolized an important role to the people in this village. Mr. Summers a man that was in charge of the majority of the events in the town, always spoke about making a new black box but never did. (134) The people of the village would rather keep the same box rather than upsetting tradition with something new. As the people in the village…
This previous summer, an opportunity to work for my father’s electric company arose. The job entailed driving a thirteen-foot tall box truck with a coworker to Umpqua banks in Oregon and Washington that had relocated or closed down and “decommissioning” them by removing all technology equipment. That includes: computers, cash counters, printers, telephones, and anything that uses electricity. We would take every piece of technology and catalog them into an excel sheet with their serial and model…
