components to the liturgical year which make it very complex. Some of these components include special seasons, feasts, symbols, and colours which have to be attended to.

The first known liturgical drama was called “Quem Quaeritis”, “Whom do you seek?”. After people, especially members of trade guilds, started to perform plays outside of church in the 1200’s, they
My favorite season of the year is summer because of the warm weather, the school vacation, and the endless fun. I really enjoy the warm weather because it’s the perfect atmosphere to do outdoor activities. My favorite part about summer has to be the fact that school is closed for two months. During summer, you’re free to do whatever you want, not worrying about curfew or waking up early for school. Summer time is a great time to relax with friends and family by soaking up the sun at a beach or simply

professionals have to learn to cope with the wild expectations of people who want them to deliver the greatest day of their life.

Assiduous Athletes Not many people know the onus of being a student athlete in college. This burden set on them has caused the graduation rate of scholarship players to average at about fifty percent from 1995 to 1998. In order to be eligible to play, the athletes must be full-time students , which means taking at least twelve units a semester. Because these athletes are taking so many classes, they must make time for a considerable amount of studying and homework. Then add up the amount of practice
clocks we use today, it can even be argued that timekeeping is even a basic necessity in today’s society. As long ago as 20,000 years ago ice-age hunters from Europe would take sticks and bones and scratch lines and mark holes in them, supposedly counting the days between phased of the moon. 5,000 years ago, the Sumerians that had occupied present-day Iraq divided the year into 30-day months, the also divided the day into 12 periods (equivalent to 2 of our hours), and divided those into 30 parts (equivalent
Give Students a Break Students at Tech, and indeed at most colleges, eagerly anticipate holidays because they provide a welcome break from classes. Although some may say that breaks only take away valuable class time from students, they fail to see the educational benefits that breaks afford. Tech's sparse holiday offerings take little advantage of these benefits. Tech is harming students, who could greatly benefit from the time breaks offer for relaxation, family interaction, and studying.

Kids are more likely to say yes to shorter school to spend more time with friends, family, and time to get a better at a certain skill, while parents say their kids should be in school longer to establish their knowledge. Everyone’s focus is pushed towards making school days and school years longer, but why longer school years and days could be bad are never analyzed, such as the budget of a school. School years should
celebrated and most controversial of the witch’s holidays. Samhain is sometimes referred to as “THE Great Sabbat” and perhaps the most important of the four High Holidays (Nichols, 1988). This holiday is known to many in the Wiccan world as the time of year when the veil between the physical world and the spiritual world is the thinnest. Laurie Cabot (1989) writes that originally Samhain was the Celtic feast of the dead and celebrated to honor the Aryan Lord of Death known as Samana. Over time, this

Her mother was a school teacher and her grandpa put a huge emphasis on the connection between reading and knowledge.

Love and Loss: Lessons in Letting Go and Pronouncing my “L”s Sometime during my first or second year of preschool, I came to the conclusion that it was about time to settle down and find myself a man. Out of all the studly snot-picking suitors also sitting in two-foot tall chairs clumsily fumbling with crayons, one in particular caught my eye, probably because he sat directly across from me. His name was Luke, and he had brownish reddish blondish hair, I think, and honestly I do not remember much
Raised by parents who taught me to never give up I have made it to my senior year of college. The road hasn't always been easy for me. My parents are both disabled and by the time I was in 7th grade my math homework was far beyond what they could help me with. They never quit encouraging me though and pushed me to become all I could be. Once I reached college and was away from home my parents could not afford to support me financially and their ability to encourage me was lower. I didn't quit but
Educational Self-Analysis Carol Dweck wrote an essay on the two mindsets students can develop throughout their lifetime. This essay is titled “Brainology” and the two different mindsets are fixed and growth. A fixed mindset is someone who believes that a person should be naturally smart and not have to study or try hard to learn. A growth mindset is the complete opposite.
