January 8, 1728, a baby boy named Ashley Bowen was born. He began a career in seafaring by age eleven, which lasted most of his life. He was born and grew up in a town called Marblehead, which is located in Massachusetts. Seafaring was Ashley’s career, and he made money by transporting cargo, serving in the British Navy, and trading goods. During the beginning of his seafaring career, he was only thirteen when he was apprenticed to Captain Peter Hall of Boston, who had severely beaten Bowen. Bowen had repeatedly attempted to escape Hall, but was unsuccessful till he was seventeen, which is when he spent the next eighteen years working for the other organizations. During these seafaring years, Ashley kept journals and wrote down his life process in them journals, forming today’s piece of literacy, “The Autobiography…

On May 15, 2017 I Interviewed Olivia Zamora about what It means to be American to her. She comes from a humble family. When she was 17 she arrived to America, where she would work to provide a good living for her family. Growing up in Mexico compared to the United states was different for her, as she didn’t know the language, streets, or the people. She had to face very difficult decisions, where it would change her life completely and let go of people she deeply cared about. Olivia, is very open minded and respects everyone no matter the color skin, race, religion, and beliefs.…
Anne Moody’s autobiography is an amazing account of her growing up in the middle of the civil rights movement, with much talk about what it was like growing up in Mississippi as not only an African American, but an African American women. She was mainly faced with racial injustice, sexism and the hardships of being poor. Resulting from her many struggles to end racism, a superhero or perhaps a superwoman was born.…

Hi Olivia. I had not thought of this analogy, and to realize they both have the word “wall” to describe their functions. Pretty clever I’d say. Thinking of the walls and the roof of the factory, it made me think of the floor and what it could be in a factory, which I’d say could be related to the cytoplasm in a cell. Because the cell wall in a call may act as the walls for the factory like you said, and the floor is inside all the rooms covered by walls, the floor might as well be the cytoplasm. Don’t you think? Which then brings all the rest of the organelles inside the factory. Great post overall.…

For seven years I have been part of some sort of musical group. Instrumentally I embarked on my musical journey by joining orchestra in fourth grade on the cello, and then trumpet from fifth grade until now, where I participate in as many band events as I can.

As a little girl I wanted to be just like Hannah Montana. As I got older, I wanted to be like Rachel Berry, a small town girl living out a big town dream. I wanted to be looked up to because of my musical talent. Walking into Mrs. Kaiser's 7th hour, 8th grade band, I didn't know that music would have such an impact in my life. Music has become the spark of my intellectual curiosity. There are millions of combinations of key signatures, chords, melodies and rhythm in the world of music just waiting to become attached to a sheet of staff lines and spaces. Ever since my first experience with music in the fourth grade, my mind began to explore all these combinations of problems. Music helped me with math, english and gave me a place to escape when I was put into undesirable situations. In Middle…
From my early childhood, all the way until now and I am sure to the future and beyond I have been fascinated by music. I have loved to listening to, playing, singing, and writing music as well. I can vividly remember when I was very young in our family room we had a stereo and my family and I would dance and play along to music. I specifically remember The Beatles and The Eagles. I had a small plastic snare drum that I use to use until sadly I stepped on it. Both of my Uncles played music and were in a band themselves. My Uncle Ed was a drummer and my Uncle Ronnie was a guitarist and a singer. I remember going to concerts for their band a t a young age as well.…
Sequence development is that children across the world seem to pass through similar sequences in development, but they pass through in different way and different rates according to their culture. Some childrens sequence can move rigidly because this can be linked to their age some children will start to sit, then crawl, then stands and then walk, but in fact this might not be the case because some children dont crawl such as blind children the most and other children. To assess the childs sequence and rate you will assess this on their milestones and their development stages (also age). Milestones and the childs stages in development shows what the child can do at a particular age. Rates of development is that its important to be aware that normative measurements can only indicate general tends in development in children across the world. It is important to understand that the childrens sequence and rates/ speed of development can be vary of a great deal. If a child is ask or learning things earlier then their milestones suggests it doesnt necessarily mean that they will be outstanding or gifted in any way, as they might not understand you. Some parents think that if their child speaks early, potty trained early or walks early they think that the child should be gifted in some way. You have to be extra careful in situations like this because the child might not be gifted for it. With some children who have special educational needs often DANCE the development ladder because they may move through sequences in usual and uneven ways. For example a child may walk at the right age but might not talk at the usual age. Why theses difference are important They are important because it helps the adults and child care settings to be more aware of the childs development stages and what speed they can develop at using their milestones to help them. Also child care settings can be aware of how the children develop and what stages they are at. 3. Give an explanation of…
