Things to Come

The first thing that comes to mind on what to improve is to model activities for students. This is something that can be easily overlooked, and as such it can affect students tremendously, as they face not only new content, but also being asked to use an ability that perhaps they have never learned before or that still need more guidance, and clarification on how to execute. Moreover, modeling also helps the students know what you are looking for, and serves as a reminder to yourself of what is…

Emotions are what gives your life color. Memories are what give you feelings. Although being able to have feelings might make you enjoy life more, it can also make things really hard on yourself. In The Giver, Jonas doesn’t start to feel anything until he starts to receive memories from the current Receiver. In this essay I get to talk about three themes, which are Individuality, Memories, and Emotions. I think that these are the most important themes of this story and are the main reasons…

Manager for one of the Chick – fil – a’s in town. The first thing that people think about when they think about when they think of Chick – fil – a is fast food chicken, however it is about so much more than that. When I first started as a team member I say it as a day job, it was nothing more than a paycheck to help me pay rent. Well once I started digging and learning about the company and its vales and beliefs and reasoning for doing in things I fell in love. I started moving up the food chain…

At this moment of love for America, it may be the closest Ifemelu comes to becoming “American.” Unfortunately, after the height of this shared experience with the Blaine, there is not much left to hold their relationship together. The old restlessness she felt with Curt returns, and with it a new longing for the familiarity of home. She cannot put into words the thing that is driving her back to Nigeria, but it is a feeling she cannot shake. It could be that she wants to return to her own people…

chubby kid ready for my first year in junior high, wondering about the new exciting things waiting for me. But if I knew that the exciting things would change into nightmares, I would have never left my bed. Walking into this enormous castle of a school, I was handed a green sheet of paper with huge bolded words that spelled out my name followed by a long list of my classes. At that moment I realized that things just…

flying off the wake and hanging on for dear life and that was our idea of fun. Thomas and I were laughing and smiling. It was all fun and games out there, but there was one thing we hadn’t done yet on our new tube, The Whiplash. The Whiplash is where my dad does a full circle with the boat and it flings us very hard. That was the thing that had popped our old tube. Then it happened, it was almost as if we could feel it coming before it happened, The Whiplash. The boat started to turn at an…

Dumb Things Are Important Hello. I think you're pretty neat. Thank you for stopping by. So dumb things... If you wanna take the title as a complaint, you'll have a lot of ammunition to prove your point. In the education world, there are a lot of dumb rules and contradictory policies from the classroom level all the way up to the education policy makers. The problem, for me with this line of thinking is it's not what I do well. I mean, yeah, I can complain, and iddlI can point fingers, but I'm…

Living In a dorm has been a big transition from living at my parent 's house. There are some things that I like and things I don 't like at both places. From the people I live with, to the rules, I have to follow. Both my dorm and my house have their pros and cons. If there is one thing I hate the most, it 's being in dirty places. Well in the dorm, it 's very dirty. It 's not just the messes every once and a while in the hallway, but the dirt no one sees. Like how dirty the bathrooms are.…

that he really did not regret many things about college because the experiences that he had were great experiences that taught him a lesson. If he did have to choose something, he would have chosen to have studied with more urgency his first couple of years and put more effort into his core classes for his profession. By the response that he gave me I then asked how he stayed organized in his classes?, his answer was that organization is key to succeeding so the thing that he did was study a bit…

to a splattering sound on our tent. It took me a while to figure out what was going on. Then it finally hit me. Rain! It was raining! I was overcome with relief. Then the words came very clearly into my mind: I will not leave you comfortless. I will come to you.” (Smart 244)She always had God with her and he continuously gave her small miracles like the rain, or earlier in the book when he gave her a cup of cold water to quench her thirst. Her grandfather had died just a few days before she was…
