Mary Tyler Moore

contributions and accomplishments in education. My mother always alleged I became a teacher because I loved to chat, but more than that I loved to share. As always, my mother was correct.

It is my longing to believe in my students and encourage them to be the best they can be each day! From my earliest recollections I knew I desired to be…

Before explaining the setting of the interview for the ethnography, I must first introduce my friend Roger, who will be my main participant in this process.

Although his major is in Anthropology, he stated that the Big Bang Theory was one of his favorite sitcoms. Despite the series based on the physics and associated…

However, other scenes within the movie seemed over the top and lacked real evidence. I researched and I will analyze the documentary by providing facts found on the internet at my presentation.…
