2. A "one-size-fits-all" approach to 'child work ' is a problematic approach, due to the diversity of work and working conditions around the world. There are different standards of 'child work ' everywhere and therefore, it is not practical to have one set way of viewing children.

In kindergarten, I attended Rose Hill-Magnolia elementary school. I was in Mrs. Houston and Mrs. Hall’s class. I entered school on the first day, walked through the double doors of the school and felt like I was alone. I approached my cluster of classroom cubes. I walked past the little toy kitchen in the lobby. Saw three different classrooms but remembered earlier that week when I went with my mom there that it was on the furthest right with the dog posters. I walk into my class and I see my…

grew up disliking reading because he did not understand why it was important and he had a reading disability. Once Rodriguez finished his reading program he wanted to read as many books that he could. I can relate to Rodrigues because when I was in third grade I had troubles with reading, and because I had troubled reading I came to dislike reading.

for hard work, travel, and risk taking to steer the way towards my success. I see myself traveling overseas to a third world country to help transform the lives of less fortunate children, whether it be teaching them English, supplying them with adequate soccer gear so they can have some fun, or mentoring them to pursue an education. I know with my work ethic, my ability to see the world differently, and my risk taking, I will be able to overcome any obstacles that cross my path, which will…

Imagine a foreigner taking her first step into the greatest country on Earth, the United States of America. Beforing entering the nation, she had the idea that America was the land of the beautiful and brave. Sadly, when she gets a taste of the true American Culture, instead of seeing the magnificent Lady Liberty, the statue is covered in trash from head to toe. Every step she takes is encrusted with litter to the point where she can’t even move. With so much debris, the possibilities of death…
