There is one question that I have had from day one that I have not been able to answer and I have not found another teacher who can answer this question. My question is, “How does a teacher get everything done that is required of him/her?” At the beginning of the year as Mrs. Scruggs was completing her classroom schedule, she informed me that you had to have an hour of uninterrupted math instruction, an hour and a half or reading, writing, language, and independent reading, and thirty minutes…

The book was written in a simple language and provided with amazing illustrations. There is no doubt that children definitely enjoy reading “The Lorax,”…

On a Research Journal on “Children's Rights” by Ruby Gutierrez, she discussed the importance of growing up and not doing the same mistakes that were made on Mary Ellen. What I get from my classmate is that we all make our choices and the present is what’s most important for us. This issue shaped the U.S. and made Americans improve in how to protect children and anyone who is been inflicted harm. Mary Ellen’s case assured the need for a law that protected children or an association that helped…

I want to be remembered by my strength and ability to overcome things in life that other individuals might find rather traumatizing.

I want to be a role model to people or individuals who have went through what I have went…

Before starting this class, I would just go about my day and not consider going out to exercise in my free time. While going through the class I learned in more detail about the importance of exercise, eating a balance diet, and how to be careful in my approach of losing weight. Going through the course I saw parts of my lifestyle that could use an improvement. A few things I saw that I should improve was not being active enough (not getting enough exercise), I Procrastinated, and that I tend to…
