The Little Things

Speaking fairly too much is what happen in different way because I spoke a little more than my partner. The class also gave us positive feedback which was a good thing because I wasn’t expecting the amount of classmates to give good feedback. During planning and facilitating a group I have learned that you need to know the proper social work skills and be able to apply…

Perhaps the thing that surprised me most at the end, was how little I missed social media, at least once the first few days were out of the way. I expected to have a large void left by social media, but what I didn’t expect was that it would be so easy to fill this time with more productive activities (at least in my own judgment). I played piano more, I learned some new tricks on my skateboard, and I got better at sketching, but most important of all, I learned that there are many, often better…

In the article, Kozol explains when an eight year old girl told him, “Dear Mr. Kozol, we don’t have the things you have. You have clean things. We don’t have. You have all the thing and we don’t have all the thing. Can you help us?” (pg. 351). We are all equal no matter where we come from nor what we look like and deserve the equal opportunities like those who have money. There is a separation in the cities…

abusiveness in him. In a way it was a struggling effort to play two different rolls and with one being pervasive to the other is not fun. I can remember moments when growing up I had to give a show and hope no one doesn’t find out about me. The thing with my classes and growing up, a lot of students were Mexican American as well. You could say a lot of the populations of students of the schools I went too were Latinos. The problem wasn’t that but the fact that sometimes our culture carries…

It was then I felt my true power surge through me. I should back up a little in time and tell you how I got to this point. It all started right before I woke up. I met someone who changed my life. The darkness felt dreadful like a thousand deaths. Almost the same as a never ending cave. I couldn’t move or talk. I felt suffocated. My breathing was heavy and I could feel tears forming. Suddenly there was a dim light as it got closer, it got brighter until it was close enough to realize it was a…

journey it expresses about struggles, disappointment, and all sorts of things we usually don 't like to talk about. In the novel it had many obstacles that most people usually endure on a day to day bases because it’s reality, it’s the truth. It isn 't bad nor good but realizing that it 's part of our society is one step closer to achieving a growth mindset. It has shown me how I could do a lot even when i’m faced with negative things surrounding me and all I have to do is keep striving for the…

way to get to the food source that father talked about. Brother almost made it before the thing with the four rolling objects took him. With Sister it was quick. She just bounced and that was that. The end. It all started a month ago, when Father was getting ready to take us to the place that I am now. Mother and Father, (I miss them), have always taken care of us. They taught us a lot of things, like how to dig up lettuce without getting caught and making sure that we had a warm…

louder that speaks about your bank account. Most people buy things as just something to do here in America. We are a particularly wasteful society. There is an uneven distribution of wealth and the poor can live right in the same neighborhood as the ultra rich. Most of the people here plan their lives around what will make them successful. They use the word success as a way of saying “well off enough to buy everything I want”. When the thing that will make you happy is what you should be doing…

It is already known that women are generally seen as being inferior to men in many different cultures around the world. Women 's lives are completely controlled by men emotionally and physically. Not only do women actually experience these things in real life, but they are also portrayed this way in literature. They are rarely given the main character in literary works, but when they do receive a main role, the woman is usually depicted as dead, evil(a villain), incompetent, or unfulfilled. In…

From when I was a little kid to now I have always loved to build things. I was always right there by my dad when he was doing something on our house, and I feel like that can be a huge advantage for me. A lot of people go into this profession with little to no experience, and I feel that my dad has taught me enough for me to do well in an apprenticeship or even on my own. Not only do I like building things, but I am also good at it. Here recently, because of the…
