Using Barefoot Heart Summary
Using Barefoot Heart for First Year Students who are migrants is nice to read. For many, this book should not be a major part of the class because, for most of the book, there is little connection to the college lifestyle. Barefoot Heart was a nice book to read because of the connection it has to me as a migrant student. It reminds me what it means to be a hard worker, and the reason to continue being a hard worker, even if the workload is less. Putting in 100% will give back 100%.
The dicho that applies to my current perspective the most is “El que Adelante no mira, atrás se queda.” The reason I connect with this dicho is that it has been proven true for most of my life. As much as I would like to go with the flow, it does not get me far.

    Rhetorical Analysis Of It Is Cheaper To Be Poor By Barbara Ehrenreich

    Ehrenreich begins to explain her personal experiences in poverty: “I took jobs as a waitress, nursing-home aide, hotel housekeeper, Wal-Mart associate, and a maid with a house-cleaning service” which contrasts to the article and her credibility. She understands first hand having to take on these entry-level jobs especially being a woman. Besides the financial consequences these people face, they also endure physical pain from their back, to their knees and…

    All over but the Shoutin

    I have only read four books my entire life for school, but this is one is the best I have read. There were numerous things that I learned from the book. The one that hit me the hardest was it's hard to see people living in shame because they can cover it up really well, almost like it doesn’t bother them at all. I grew up in a middle class family and simply didn't understand what it meant to be so broke that you are ashamed to be around people who have money. The thought never crossed my mind, ever.…

    Why Battered Women

    I found the book It Could Happen to Anyone, Why Battered Women Stay interesting to read. At first it was difficult to read, because of the title I was concerned what kind of material was going to be in the book. I was interested to find out why battered women stay in an abusive relationship. I liked reading the case studies as it gave me great insight of the situation. The case studies also made me understand the situation in more detail. I enjoyed having a breakdown of sections in the chapters. The book was at times difficult to read, because of the content involved. I appreciated reading the book since I had a more clear understanding of the content since some topics where discussed in class.…

    Indigenous Studies Reflection on the Stolen Generation

    Throughout this semester my learning experiences have been very significant towards my awareness of the Indigenous population. My personal perspectives have been impacted throughout this semester drastically also. This unit has helped increase my awareness toward the Indigenous people of Australia and the immoral battles they where put through in the past. My response to this unit of study was completely different to what I thought it would have been. My emotions have been triggered considerably throughout this semester. What really touched me was hearing about the horrific measures Indigenous children were put through. Getting taken away from their families purely because of their Aboriginal background, being mistreated, and having their innocents corrupted really upset me. Another aspect of history that really got to me was the story Rebecca told the class. The history on ‘closed adoptions’ that Rebecca was personally apart of.…

    For example, Candide loses his beloved Pangloss and the kind Anabaptist on his journey to the utopian Eldorado, gets beaten and whipped, kills more than one person, and suffers numerous other misfortunes while still concluding that all is still for the best because he can still find Cunegonde. After Pangloss is hanged, dissected, beaten, and made to row in a galley, he still believes that everything is for the best. Candide asks him, "Tell me,…

    Play Therapy Case Study

    The description of Sonia’s situation dealt with her problems, and offered creative solutions. Depth of experience was offered when you spoke about introducing play therapy, and adding the problems of new families to America. Ownership of this topic was exhibited when you internalized the problems that Sonia is going through. The multicultural feel of this family, is strengthened in your passage, and you offer solutions with encouragement (validating feelings). As future workers, mental health students adapt to changing work environments and demands (O’Connor et al., 2002) (Margaret McAllister, 2011). As students, they expect their educational experience to change the way they look at the world and teach them the skills to do so (Margaret McAllister, 2011).…

    Mexican Proverbs Analysis

    As a Mexican American, I have learned many of the traditions and customs of the Mexican culture. One tradition, I have learned as a member of the Mexican community is called a dicho. Dichos or “sayings” as I like to define the term, is a Spanish term used to describe a proverb. A proverb is a short metaphorical statement that a culture constantly uses. (Sims 2005:129) Proverbs are a part of the performance aspect of folklore because people tell these proverbs every day especially in conversations. (Sims 2005:129) People use these proverbs in many ways. Certain types of proverbs allow us to give advice on how to handle with certain situations throughout our lives. (Sims 2005:129) Other types of proverbs may warn us about…

    Case Study: 28 Tips For A Healthy Heart

    An apple per day can keep your doctor away – well actually, so can pears, bananas, cauliflower and mushrooms. Based on a study recently published as part of a healthcare journal called Stroke, consuming fruits and vegetables with white flesh can actually minimize dangers of stroke by 52 percent. The study followed the participants for a period of more than 10 years, and identified that for each and every 25 grams of white-fleshed produce consumed, subjects lowered their stroke danger by 9 %. If we do the math, since 1 apple is about 120 grams, eating a piece each day can dramatically bring your danger down.…
