For two weeks, I stayed in Charleston, South Carolina. I didn’t know much about the place, except that I referred to it as an army town because that’s where my sister and her husband, who was in the military, stayed. I was reluctant to go, but Charleston had a lot to offer me; a new change of pace and some new scenery was much more satisfying than spending the two weeks stuck in Iowa doing the same old routine. The weather was mystical in Charleston. It was hot- that was a given being in the…

printed cartoon (JEOTW).” Both children and many adults are devoted to their favorites and enjoy them. The animated version of manga is anime. Basically, people take the storyline of a manga and turn it into an animated series. Some famous anime are Pokemon, Naruto, Tokyo Ghoul, One Punch Man, and My Hero Academia. Monzai is a Japanese type of comedy act. In this act, two people are involved. One person tells the jokes while the other person makes the person telling the jokes look like a fool.…

than I had initially thought. It was a rainy day in late March, which meant every kid’s worst nightmare; indoor recess. Those dull 30 minute periods of monotonous board games, passionate political discussions over the popularity of SpongeBob vs. Pokémon, and the overlapping gossip about how “Jessica likes like Tyler.” Seeing as I was a fourth grader, practically a man, and with…

Personally, I question everything I do. How can I make the lesson more engaging? Did I reach every students? How can I use Johnny’s love of Pokemon to teach him math? My brain is constantly thinking of ways I can reach my kids on every level, so that they will remember these concepts and build on them. For example, when I taught transformations I wanted to reach my kinesthetic learners, so I…

Community Project The assignment I was assigned was to do a community project for my community or anywhere that needed some significant help. What I choose was to pick a park near my home in Stockton which is called Panella Park. This was an ideal place because, everyone enjoyed the park when I was a kid, however no one really comes by anymore because of the increase of technology. With this I decided that I wanted to pick up the trash that laid there because of how much fun I had when I was…

Oregon. When most people think of a trailer park, they think of an impoverished slum. However, our trailer park was different. It was full of playful children, kind people and a calm atmosphere. I had two close friends, Dillon and Abraham. We played Pokémon, skated, and played soccer. We would be outside from dawn to dusk. Life was great… Then we moved. It was a cold, dreary and rainy night, my parents were frantically placing our belongings in our car. The rain was frigid, almost biting as they…

I ceased to feel the passions of revenge or the urge to escape reality through binge-watching the Pokémon anime, which I grew sick of, anyway. The first thing I wanted to do was to hug my parents and tell them I wanted them to stay with me. They’re not perfect, but I’m grateful for all they have done in raising me. A new school year brings new bullies…

On hot day in Arizona armed with a little pink backpack, it was my first day of Kindergarten. The modified school house held multiple grades in one room but the three student Kindergarten class had its own room. The other two girls were not very fond of me and were sometimes mean to me. So, I turned to my academics. I had already started writing and learning to read before then, so I was already running with my understanding the magic of letters. From a young age, reading became my life.…

The amount of technology that surrounds and impacts our everyday life is astonishing and is an issue that has raised a lot of questions today. Is the seemingly constant access to cell phones, WiFi, lap tops, iPads, etc., negatively impacting our ability to maintain focus and have meaningful relationships with the people in our life, or is it just the opposite? To say that it is merely one way or the other would be an ignorant response. The wide availability of technological devices can have…
