  • We the Kings: A Journey of Diverse Music

    1368 Words  | 3 Pages

    One of the things I have always found so incredible about We the Kings is how diverse each of their albums are. The band began as a rock alternative group, but as each album progressed they moved more towards the pop genre. We the Kings is a band that has gained a lot of recognition throughout their eleven-year career. Since first forming in high school the band has grown to be more than just musicians. Almost every member of the band is now either a father or recently became married. On March 27

    The Kid with the Great Smile People say that I have a great smile. “That Gabe Gore is always smiling...he seems like the happiest kid,” is often a comment I hear being said about myself. I am a happy guy for the most part, and I do like to smile a lot. I guess, according to my mom, I’ve always been a fairly laid-back, happy-go-lucky type kid. But I have experienced some sadness. And my feelings do get hurt, even though people don’t always think I understand what they are talking about

    We were kids… High school. A safe abode free from the anger and hatred that wells from the streets of every city we've ever known. This place where smiles trickle in the half glow of routine. This place where, almost assured of treason's guilt one hides their anguish in desperate, fearful anticipation of secret forays with whispered confessions. We were kids when we came. I was a kid when I came. I had tasted some small trickle of life and became certain of some things myself. I clung to an

    Techno Kids Is it Equal Oppurtunity for All? I’ve been planning a dinner party for a week now. It’s my first time doing this and I’m a little nervous. At first I wasn’t sure whom to invite but my English teacher helped me decide. He encouraged me to invite people who will help me learn about how children are becoming more computer literate at such a young age, and if it is all children or only a select group. The guest list consists of Anne Hird, the author of the book Learning from Cyber

    children make me feel like the most important person in the world, that only a few worthy people are lucky enough to see a child’s special light and smile. A child’s smile is transparent. Their love can be seen through their smile. Their happiness is so innocent and unselfish, that sometimes, we have to feel like a child to feel that kind of love. Working with kids reminds me to bring myself back to childhood. I have to think, what made me happy when I was a child, what frustrated me, and how can I make

  • Forgotten Kids with Mental Illness

    Forgotten Kids are children that have disabilities that are barely visible. They have their arms and legs, can see and hear, run, play, etc., but most have never been invited to a birthday party or to a sleep over. They are the last to be chosen to play and the first to be blamed. Their illnesses aren’t fatal, but a small part of their hearts and souls die with every rejection. Their behaviors seem odd or unpredictable to themselves as much as to society. They are misunderstood and overlooked, thus

    “Hey, thanks for telling me,” with a soft voice and light smile. Does it sound familiar to you? Perhaps the response seems good and polite on the surface, but people might be very frustrating deep inside. Truly, the burden of societal expectation forbids people to share their true feeling and opinion, therefore a genuine interaction among people becomes very rare. Although the U.S. government encourages gender equality, but the society remains the same; in reality, society has a higher expectation

When my last child was born, the doctors did not think that he would make it. He had a heart malfunction and was born with RSV and Von Villibrantds disease (which I did not find out until he was three); those factors lead me to want to work with special education kids, knowing that I could make a difference.

As I walked in the house on a recent Tuesday evening, I hear Meghan screaming. Tim is mercilessly teasing her by hiding her teddy bear.  Pat is hollering from the basement at Tim; and the phone is ringing.  The ringing stops, which means Maura got it.

    Gender Roles and Kids Toys In David Barry's article, Guys vs. Men, he discussed the differences between "guys" and "men". This article made several valid points, including that guys will try and out perform each other where sports are concerned and that the space shuttle is the ultimate guy toy.

    Schools are one of the first places where kids' behavior and future educational success is shaped. Teachers are carriers of either positive or negative behavior toward students.

I believe that teachers must love their career in order for them to pass enthusiasm, to assists, and to provide a warm environment to the students. In my opinion teachers are the second mothers for the students
