Back agony is a fiend of the recent times. Our present way of life, in which we scarcely inspire time to deal with ourselves, has turned into the most despicable aspect of our presence. We don't generally try to require some investment out to extend the muscles of our body and this can be greatly negative for our general wellbeing. A large portion of us have an inactive way of life and investing a lot of energy in the same sitting position in our respective work stations can bring about…

Carini’s article “Building on Children’s Strengths” was very interesting and taught me different perspectives that I had not thought about the education of children. The quote “Our kind of civilization that is affecting children, our views of childhood, and our ways of responding children”(Carini, page 1).

Attending the University of Puget Sound has always been a goal of mine since I was a child, being a local kid I attended a lot of the University’s children sport camps and even luau.

I personally like handwriting more than typing mostly because i can write quicker than i can type.
