really didn't know what I was getting into today as Parker and I gave out some care packages, but one thing I do know is that it was life changing for the both of us. The first man we encountered today was named Brycen. He said he worked six days a week as a construction worker and barely had any money to live on. As we gave a care package to him, he just lit up with happiness. One thing that got me…

program in accordance with Trine’s hiring policy. The first step would be to hire the supervisor who would be in charge of the program and most importantly be in charge of the mentors. This is required not only to make sure everything runs smoothly but to act as a bridge between the staff and the mentors and mentees. This position will allow for easier quality control and more efficient responses to fix issues with the program as opposed to having it directly run by the current tutoring staff.…

Running, I’ve discovered, clears my mind and calms me down. It gives me a good start to the morning. Four, return home quietly and take a shower.

I stayed up most night talking with my cousins who had come to stay with us for a week to help with the clean up efforts. We really didn’t talk much about the earthquake because we were catching up about each others lives because they live in Pakistan and we hadn’t seen them for 3 years. Nobody really got much sleep that night, but…

My legs felt weak and wobble more and more with every step I took. At this moment, I realized that a third place wasn’t such a bad idea after all. Who was I kidding? I wasn’t…

airport it was my first time to meet my mother’s family, they were nice and they dressed differently than normal Egyptians usually do, it was a cold night at new york city, I wasn’t ready for the cold probably because it’s never this cold in Egypt, so Christmas…

the book and his own personality and his outlook on his life and career. In the book, Gatsby’s reason for living in his huge mansion was to impress Daisy and get her to love him again.

One way to do this is through classroom rules. Classroom rules are a guide of behavioral expectations of students so that and effective learning environment can be created. My established classroom rules for a first grade class would consist of listening and following directions, listen when others are talking, keep hands, feet, and objects to yourself, and show respect for school and personal property.
