Reflection On Being Nonbinary
This October I read a poem about being nonbinary during my current events presentation on transgender health care to my social studies class. The class was awestruck, even though many of them had never really known about trans people before that day. Writing is the strongest connection I have to myself and the most meaningful way I can interact with the world. There is no better way to close the distance between your soul and that of a stranger than to write; in this way we learn about what moves each other and ourselves.
What moved me the most as a child were stories in which people found creative ways to shelter and feed themselves; I relished books like My Side of the Mountain that described in detail the way Sam Gribley made a house

    Betsy Ross Made Me Love Reading

    I guess I shouldn’t say Betsy Ross made me love to read; I should say Betsy Ross opened my eyes to a whole new world. When I was in the third grade, we were assigned a book report on any biography of our choosing. “Great!” I thought. “Now I have to read some boring book!” I was not thrilled with this assignment, but I was a good student and usually did what I was told.…

    Richard Rodriguez And Eudora Welty: A Personal Analysis

    Everyone has their own literary narrative and their own path into literacy. The growth from picture books to those with over a thousand pages is a huge transition in one’s life. Reading has impacted my life and others such as Gerald Graff, Richard Rodriguez, and Eudora Welty. I know my literary journey is still only beginning and the rest of my novel known as life is still a blank book. From here on I am just going to continue writing the…

    Review of "What Its Like to Be a Black Girl"

    The poem I selected was “What it’s like to be a Black Girl (For those who don’t know)”. This is a poem written by Patricia Smith. The three elements of the poem that I found to be engaging were the tone, the content, and the language that the author uses. This poem struck some feelings in me. Therefore I am taking a descriptive approach to my response.…

    Analysis Of Little House In The Big Woods

    I chose the book Little House in the Big Woods by Laura Ingalls Wilder and illustrated by Garth Williams. This book was first published in 1932. I chose this book at random from my grandmother’s house over Thanksgiving. I knew that she had all of the books and my sister had used my grandmother’s collection to read them all when she was younger. I just chose the first book that I saw and I really lucked out because it looked interesting. I felt that I could not go wrong with any of the books because they are widely praised for being great reads. This was the first time that I was reading a book from the collection. I had been interested in other titles when I was younger so I never became interested in these books.…

    The Rainbow Fish Research Paper

    A lot of books I can remember reading made my childhood so great. Growing up as a child, going to the library was one of my most favorite hobbies to do. My mother would always take me there and she would read to me anything from Junie B. Jones to Arthur books, Dr. Seuss, Charlottes’ Web. Dr. Seuss was one of my most favorites. Dr. Seuss’s Green Eggs and Ham will always be a childhood favorite. At the library, my mother would read word by word very slowly to make sure I’d understand what she was reading. Age 3-5, I would take part in a summer program at the library that involves reading. The volunteers who were…

    Uhl Scholarship Research Paper

    When most people think about a significant experience as something like; studying abroad, taking vacations, or meeting new people. Now while I have met many types of people and traveled quite a bit, none of these experiences have been nearly as significant to me as my childhood. I lived in a small, falling apart, purple house in the heart of Bessemer that was perfect because it is all we could afford. This house and neighborhood forced me to be resourceful and it taught me that nothing in my life is going to come without hard work. Those lessons crafted me into the industrious, diligent, and determined person that I am today.…

    Lyg Research Paper

    Here, I was able to talk with some interesting people. Ray, a transgendered man, and Eve, who was gender fluid, taught me a lot even though they didn’t intentionally do so. I listened and observed them, along with many others they all seemed to know, and begun to realize that I don’t know as much as I thought about the transgender/homosexual community; even though I myself am part of the community as a bisexual. I learned the difficulties everyone went through in their public schools, at their homes, and even with themselves. It was common with the majority of transsexuals to be very insecure about their appearance because they can’t look like the gender they are and want to identify…

    Reading was fun when it was newly acquired skill. I was excited to read to my parents when they returned home from work. I remember reading my favorite book series by R.L. Stein (Goosebumps) while in the second and third grades. The series was about hauntings that affected teenagers. I remember my favorite book in the series was Piano Lessons Can Be Murder. I could relate to that because at the time, I was taking piano lessons.…

    Personal Narrative: Growing Up As A Little Kid

    Growing up as a little kid I really didn’t have any toys or friends to play with. My dad works in construction, I asked him one day if he could built me a little play house for me, he told me that he would think about it. Until the next day he brought in some wood, nails, paint… so on and so forth to build the house. Now, this house was like no Barbie house, this house was a life size house for a little kid. I remember helping my dad drawing and building it to make it looked all pretty. The house look like a real house, it had a door with a door knob, and a window. The house could even fit in my blue chair with letters on it so I can go inside, sit down and eat my snacks in there. I loved it so much I would usually take my naps in there.…

    Judgment and Crazy Courage

    The story Crazy Courage really caught my attention when we were assigned to read it. I knew right after I read it that I was going to write my essay over it. As I read this poem I was reminded of a time in High School, when there was a man who dressed like a women who lived right outside of town. Every time someone drove by his house they would say “I wonder what the he-she is doing today?” or “I’m passing the he-she’s house. I hated hearing these crude words coming from people every day. I believe that if you have the courage to stick up for what you believe in, then you deserve to walk with pride and confidence.…

    Skills Demonstration (Storytelling)

    Aims: The aim of this assignment is to demonstrate and plan a story to read to a group of children aged 2 and half to 4. I chose this age group because this is the group I work with on a daily bases from 9:30 to 12:30 five days a week. I am picking a story called “Oh Dear” by Rod Campbell who is a Scottish writer and illustrator of several popular children's books including the classic lift-the-flap board book “Dear Zoo”. As it is a story that helps the children with learning the different animals on the farm and also encourages the children to use their imaginations as they lift up the different flaps in the book to see what is behind them. Which Maria Montessori says “Imaginative teaching materials are the heart of the process”. All of Rod Campbell’s “books have simple text often with repeating phrases which is ideal for pre-readers” and will also Help the children with langue and intellectual skills. “The child proceeds at his own pace in an environment controlled to provide means of learning” -Maria Montessori. this book also helps the children physically as they have to get up to lift up the flaps on the book “movement is therefore the essential of life education cannot be conceived of ad a means to moderate or worse to inhibit movement; it should only function as an aid to a better expenditure of energy whilst allowing it to develop normally” -Maria Montessori pg 102 discovery of a child. “The aim of the children who persevere in their work with an object is certainly not to “learn”; they are drawn to it by the needs of their inner life, which must be recognized and developed by its means.” – Maria Montessori pg 120 discovery of a child. To develop their attention spans…
