This Perfect Day

Prenatal Development The day I found out that I was pregnant was a day of unmatchable joy for both my husband and I. Our joy was continued throughout the pregnancy until the doctor had offered us possible test to see if the baby had any problems. I didn’t want to know until the baby was born, but my husband insisted. The doctor conducted a maternal blood screening, as well as a noninvasive prenatal diagnosis (Santrock 2014, pg. 52). The tests came back positive for Down syndrome. At that point…

the group, in this kind of setting, the child might not get as much individual attention as it needs (BabyCenter: Daycare Centers: Advantages and Disadvantages). In order to avoid group daycare settings, parents sometimes choose individual care for their children. Unfortunately, too many people offer babysitting and childcare services without having the required skills or training. It might be cheaper to have a high schooler take care of the child than enrolling it in a licensed day care, but…

statues in honor of their children. Luhrmann, on the other hand, does not have the two families end their feuding. The movie portrays how nothing, even death, will stop the feuding between the two families. The play and the movie differ dramatically in this last scene. From the beginning we are told, "Verona was being torn by a terrible, bloodthirsty feud which no human endeavor had been able to settle [. . .]" (Charlton 147). In the play and the movie, Romeo and Juliet are similar to all…

Cranes approach is the way we see the battle. We are seeing and hearing about the battle though the eyes of this young man who is referred to as the youth throughout the story. Though his single thoughts and feelings the story is told making it seem very real. 2. I think the paragraph from The Red Badge of Courage makes the reader feel like they are actually experiencing the events. I think this is because in the passage from the successes and failures of Chancellorsville there isn’t any dialog…

Although having full day kindergarten may be too costly from people’s pockets who may not have children or a need for the full day kindergarten program, in the end it’s a positive investment for Ontario schooling to make. “In September 2010, the Ontario government began phasing in full-day kindergarten for four- and five-year-olds. In the first year, nearly 600 schools offered full-day kindergarten, with the number of schools increasing every year.” (Full day kindergarten” 2013) Full day…

Daycare reform has helped this by making the government give the childcare agencies more monies and helping the parents go back to work instead of staying at home also, it has helped with kids and their education. When the first daycare was established it was made for the working mothers that had to take low income jobs and it was too hazardous to take their kids in. instead of the government paying for daycare…

makes them happy. But in this story, the tradition of the lottery is that whoever is the winner is stoned to death to get a good crop on coming harvest time. We know that tradition is an important part of any culture. But this story is telling about a tradition where the villagers are murdering an innocent person, though the rationale behind this tradition has been lost over time. This tradition of human sacrifice is totally unlawful, which is based on superstition. This shouldn’t be…

their country and those who relinquished their duty. The vast majority of Australians shared an undying loyalty towards England, compatible with Prime Minister Joseph Cook’s statement; “if the old country is at war so are we” on the 1st August 1914. This shared passion deceived many and put a great strain on the Tasmanian economy, with the loss of the German, Austrian, and Hungarian trade markets. Despite the state’s economic crisis, the loss of their trade wasn’t critical or devastating due…

foster and homeless you who’s lives are falling apart and those that are excelling in all that they do, I’ve sat with students as they shed tears over parent’s expectations and tears of grief and loss. As I contemplated what I would write about for this learning log one young man continued to forward in my thoughts. I met with him at the beginning of my…
