it’s naive and even hypocritical to claim this, but I do actively try to better myself every day. I know that I can be dogmatic at times, and I often get into foul moods and say things I probably shouldn’t. Conversely, I remind my friends to wear sunscreen everyday because I am worried about their health. I am always willing and ready to watch someone at a party and to make sure they get home okay. I think I give spectacular; I will sit down and listen to someone else's problems for hours. Many…

beautiful coast of Maui, Hawaii. I saw plenty of waterslides, beach towels and beach chairs.The waterslides had long lines with people waiting impatiently while the beach chairs were set empty lined up like plastic soldiers. I smelled the scent of sunscreen being applied and I heard the noise of the waves crashing on the sand. " You ready kid?" The lifeguard said. I heard him, but all I could really think about was this waterslide. I also heard my brother and my Dad trying to calm me down, but…

through play. Children have freedom of choice and can explore, investigate and challenge themselves in a safe environment, as an educator allowing children to float between inside and outside is important. Reminding children to wear their hats and sunscreen in summer and their coats and beanies in winter also benefits with self-help skills. Exercising open ended play spaces in both environments helps children stay stimulated and engaged without becoming destructive and disinterested, slowly…
water was salty, the only thing that matched up with my apparently, unrealistic vision of the ocean. The amount of devastation that filled my soul, the annoying pigeons gnawing away at my aunt's straw hat, the fact that my sister forgot to put on sunscreen and is now as bright as a tomato are all signs of L.A. telling us country folks we don’t belong here. The homesickness was truly overwhelming at this…
