Saturdays. This is measurable because it shows the time phrase that I will be working on in order to achieve this goal. Each other day for 30 minutes and each weekend is the time that I will spend exercising and practicing, and I can measure my success on that. Achievable: Working hard to run my fastest and measuring my time each time. This is achievable because it involves doing my best to run.

must be excited to do something other than be on a tablet playing the same game over and over again, “Writers have asserted that children today tend to spend less time in outdoor play, hobbies, sports, and creative activities than they did in former years” (Witty 109). We must encourage children to not be on technology so often and spend time outdoors with friends and family. It will actually help children be more social by surrounding themselves with people, instead of watching a TV show that…

I do not the same price, but not double. Many think it is fair to pay a little bit more than Americans because they live here all the time and deal with the problems when we can just leave.

Other times, case management services are warranted to ensure that the family has services in place to prevent high risk situations.

Typically, culture mediates desire in texts, but Winter’s Bone develops a protagonist that goes against societal oppression to fix a situation typical of her culture. The novel avoids the contrived “journey” story by presenting her desires through flashbacks. This narrative technique is chosen to emphasize…

Time Between Times. I lounged in the same spot, an old patio chair minus the cushions on my back deck, and watched my kids come and go. They are a flurry of youthful exuberance. Fighting, screaming, yipping, laughing, and talking a mile a minute-- bare feet, bug bites, and snack-hungry tummies—they demanded and took but also gave kisses and breathless hugs. The sun shifted and changed as I watched. Shadows engulfed the yard. The sun and the moon faced one another. The time between times fell,…
