For my shadow study, I observed a student from 8-12 at Metcalf Laboratory School. This student had short brown hair, was wearing a gray sweatshirt, and was smaller than his peers. The first class that the student attended was Health, and since the class was still relatively new due to it being a new quarter, he seemed to be adjusting well. At the beginning of class, the student was attentive, and as I was paying attention, I noticed that he enjoyed talking to his peer who sat next to him. The…

My brother “ran up and down our block screaming, waking the neighborhood”. We all were in denial that she was gone. Like I said before, I was not worrying about her being pronounced dead at the funeral home, I was extremely excited to just see, and touch her. After my uncle died, I felt really guilty. I fell asleep doing chemistry work, which was the same thing that I was doing the night my grandmother died. I hated school and I refused to bring home anymore chemistry work. My uncle called my…

Initially I was a bit concerned about the self-reflection process and how I would go about it because I’m not, what I perceive, to be a professional writer. I felt that it was geared toward someone with a professional background and not someone like myself, who’s just seeking to advance in my professional career as a business executive. At the beginning of this semester when I read the syllabus, my thought was this shouldn’t be difficult; however, as we continued through the assignments, I…

The Monster Okay, so you know how no one wants to get some holes ripped in their mouth because they can’t eat anything good except for like ice cream? And wisdom teeth in general just suck and fuck up your mouth by coming in like sideways and shit causing infections and overbite like a bulldog or whatever and just altogether wasting all that time and money and effort – not to mention all the endured humiliation from sneers like ‘brace-face’ – which the braces did to make your smile attractive?…

“I’ll take a beer, any kind is fine,” Trig replies. “And for the lady,” she ask smiling even bigger at me. “I don’t give a shit what you serve me. Just keep the liquor coming.” Trig squeezes my hand. “I have to use the restroom. I’ll be back.” I say, moving around her. “Sorry,” Trig says, apologizing for my behavior. “It’s been one of those days.” I don’t even look at either of them. I pass through the aisle and make my way to the back of the plane. I go in and do my business and when I come…

GRAMMAR Introduction to Grammar Conventions Conventions can be defined as a series of generally accepted standards for written English. We use these specific conventions so that our writing is more readable and so that our readers can easily discern what we are trying to say. There are four main categories that a convention may fall under: sentence structure, spelling, punctuation, and capitalization. In this chapter you will find information regarding these four conventions, along with…

Although a flop during commercial release in the US in its day, Sergio Leone’s Once Upon a Time in the West is now generally acknowledged as a masterpiece and one of the greatest films ever made, regardless of genre. What made me select it for this assignment is the haunting sound of the harmonica in one of its key scenes, sheer brilliance in blending the visual and the auditory into one of the most poignant moments in movie history. Once Upon a Time in the West is a 1968 spaghetti western film.…

It was five years ago, almost to the exact date. Eight year-old me walked in to my class on the first day of third grade. I was nervous, just like any first day of school. I looked around at my fellow classmates. Some people I recognized, others I didn't. Then, there was this one girl I saw. She was tall, had long hair, and had this smile that just made you feel happy too when you saw it. I didn't think there was anything all that special about her, but life has a way of pairing you up with…

There are four main elements, according to Rogers, that can have a major influence over the spreading of a new innovation. They are: 1) the new innovation itself, 2) communication channels, 3) time, and 4) a social system. Diffusions can manifest differently because of the complexity of the organization’s makeup of individuals, as well as the norms within the group, the organizational procedures and rules, and leadership decisions. Social systems can also be influenced internally with…
