Remind Me

back my tears. The Hundred Greek Names Project is due tomorrow. Although the name makes it sound like there are only 100 essays to write, there are actually one-hundred eight, and I am on number eighty-five. Not only that but the rain outside is not helping. It is only making me want to quit and go to bed even more than I already do. I look around the room and take a deep breath. I do not have time to breathe. I am sort of in a time crunch. Yet I also know that if I do not take a moment to relax I will get nothing done. My walls are splotchy from years of my room changing (well everything except for the walls). As I scan the room something catches my eye - a little puppet toy from when I…

moving. However, my skills weren’t good enough for me to understand and talk to my teachers and peers. I struggled for a long time to fit in. Everything to me was unfamiliar. Beside having a difficult time to understand the new language, I was also having a hard time to getting used to other aspects of the new culture. However, as other teenageres, I had big dreams that I wanted to achieve. I decided to try hard to be fluent in English. When I just started school, I was put into an ELD class.…

beaten, but that made it all the more appealing to me. That bag already had a life without me. Maybe it was some drug runner's money bag. Maybe it had belonged to a spy who'd used it undercover and had no more need of it. But whoever it was liked strawberry chapstick. I found a half finished one in the bottom along with some old gum wrappers and crumbs of some sort. I myself preferred mint though. Mint anything- gum, chapstick; cookies, mint in general. That sharp scent that would leave a…

Sphero races At the beginning of the school year my teacher got 12 sphero robots, for us kids to use in the classroom. With these robots you can drive them around, paint with them, and also drive them in water. For the beginning few months we just drove the sphero s around and got to know how they worked. But now were getting to the end of the year so we decided that we are going to use the sphero s to race in a kitty pool that our class won from an achevie 3000 contest. Our…

1. Remind me what you have done with me? In your case, it appears it was just Human Anatomy. Was there anything else? If not, I will just tell them about that class. You are correct. The only class I took from you was Human Anatomy, and I was enrolled spring semester of 2013. 2. Who are your parents and what do they do (you can be brief)? Where do you fit in your family? What town did you grow up in? I come from a large family, and I’m the third of eight children. I lived in Sandy, Utah…

a girl that is constantly thinking and wanting to explore the Earth. I am a girl that is not willing to give up on her dreams. I am creative and smart. I have good and bad qualities. I am human. I chose two types of media to show these “I am characteristics” and that I believe represent me in a positive way. I chose a photograph of a woman sculpture carved onto a rock on a coast. For choosing my image, I started off by researching images on the internet that were motivational and…

What an outlandish thought, to find nature so unnerving. I had been so preoccupied by my own devices that I hadn 't noticed a small girl on a crumbling concrete stoop, her eyes intently focused on me . Her attention followed me as my body weaved through people like water over stones, a gift only New Yorkers possessed. I was drawn to her, naturally. The way her hair fell like waves pulling out to sea, the harsh wind whipping it from her face. How…

52). If my goal in the classroom is to help my students access text to gain understanding by gathering evidence, it is important I “choose questions carefully so that what [I] ask reminds students of what they know about a topic and keep them focused on the objective” (Dean et al., 2010, p. 53). Dean et al. (2010) restate, “providing cues that help students access the prior knowledge about a topic brings that knowledge to the conscious level and increases the likelihood that students will pay…

sacrifice to improve, be capable of being educated, education is powerful that will make my career dream come true. “People do what they have to do in life. We try to get from one end of it to the other with dignity and with honor. We do the best we can. (Henriques 286)”. My interpretation of the quote is that people are motivated to do what they want. I can relate to this quote. I think of myself as a motivated individual. FYE has been one of the best programs; little by little is helping me…

Just Survive Somehow I never really planned to say goodbye to my family. The old Arian wouldn't have cared about what my family thought of me. I was too busy roaming the streets trying to find more money than I had as a kid. I guess nothing much has changed since then. In my opinion, everything happened too swiftly before I knew it, I got used to bargain for clothes, food, etc. One thing that I was not prepared for was the tantalizing that I would get from the people around me. No, not just,…
