...T. Condez 1BSA-1 Submitted to: Mrs. Lolita Racoma Prologue ...Slowly, she walked into her cold, dark house; she was still picking petals off the roses. As she walked up the stairs and into “their” bedroom, she left a trail of rose petals. When she was in her room, she went to the corner and just broke down. “That night wasn’t just any night; it was the night you walked out of my heart, reaching the point of no return... ...The Story... ~Hebe’s POV~ “Arron, where are you going? It is late already” Hebe asked as she was walking out of the shower and saw her husband putting on his jacket. “I need to go finish some things at work,” Arron answered “Can’t you. do it tomorrow?” asked Hebe and then she added, “I will go with you and help you since it will be a Saturday.”She smiled but her smile faded as fast as it had come. “No Hebe, I need to go and do it tonight, don’t wait for me, I will be back pretty late,” said Arron. Then he walked over and pecked Hebe on the cheeks. *Hebe thoughts*[What is wrong with him tonight? He never pecks me on the cheeks, he always kiss me on my forehead that would give me a sense of security and kind of saying he will always be here. I am going lose my husband soon, aren’t I? Body language says everything.] *Hebe thoughts* As soon as I got back to my senses, I noticed Arron had already left the room, I saw his phone and PDA lying on the table, I don’t think he will be able to do his work if he doesn’t have his PDA so I rushed out of our...

...Friends are vital to school-age children's healthy development. Research has found that children who lack friends can suffer from emotional and mental difficulties later in life. Friendships provide children with more than just fun playmates. Friendships help children develop emotionally and morally. In interacting with friends, children learn many social skills, such as how to communicate, cooperate, and solve problems. They practice controlling their emotions and responding to the emotions of others. They develop the ability to think through and negotiate different situations that arise in their relationships. Having friends even affects children's school performance. Children tend to have better attitudes about school and learning when they have friends there. In short, children benefit greatly from having friends. Parents play a crucial role in their child's social development. A child is not born with social skills. He needs parents who take an active role in preparing him to interact successfully with his peers. The most important thing parents can do for their child is to develop a loving, accepting, and respectful relationship with him. This warm relationship sets the stage for all future relationships, including friendships. It helps the child develop the basic trust and self-confidence necessary to go out and meet others. It provides a firm foundation on which the child can develop social skills. Parents also teach their child various social skills by being a good...

...Individuals’ varying backgrounds result in different sets of ethics. Without this uniqueness, the world would be very plain. Ethics help guide people to make the decisions they believe are just. There are many situations every day that cause people to decide their right and wrong. In scenario one, one of your friends asks about what questions were on the exam you recently took. Several students, however, do not believe that asking about the material and questions on the exam is a form of cheating. By giving out this information, it is cheating. It is important to look at the ICARE Guideline Process to evaluate this situation. The issue in this scenario is whether or not to tell your friend about the types of questions on the exam. This scenario challenges your integrity, honesty, and professionalism. The second step is considering the facts. By sharing the information on the test you are hurting yourself and others. The consequences of cheating can have lasting impacts. Sadly, not everyone gets caught cheating. But in the long run, these negative choices will come back to bite. It may be a professional exam or final exam in which the student will eventually pay the price. The third step is assessing the alternatives. One option is to ask the friend what questions they are struggling with and help them. You could recommend the student meet with the professor or teaching assistant about concepts they do not understand. Another recommendation would to have the student revisit...

...First Quarter Week 1 The Crow and the Pitcher Adapted from Aesop by Dinah C. Bonao On a hot summer day, a thirsty crow looked for water to drink. “It’s hot! I am thirsty!” said the crow. “I need to find water.” (Have the pupils predict: What do you think will the crow do?) The crow flew from one place to another looking for water to drink. He finally found a pitcher near a well. But there was only little water in the pitcher. He tried to drink from the pitcher but no matter how much he tried, he could not reach the water. “My beak is too big. The pitcher’s neck is very narrow. How will I get the water?” he thought. (Have the pupils predict: What do you think will the crow do so he could reach the water in the pitcher?) Then an idea came to the crow. He picked up some small stones. He dropped them into the pitcher one by one. (Have the pupils predict: After he had dropped some stones into the pitcher, what do you think will happen?) “One, two, three…” Plop, plip, plop. Little by little, the water rose in the pitcher. “Four, five, six…” Plop, plip, plop. The water rose some more. Soon the crow could reach the water. “Now, I can drink!” said the crow. “Ah! It’s cold and good!” Discussion Questions: 1. At the beginning of the story, what did the thirsty crow do? 2. Where did he find water? 3. Could he drink right away? Why not? 4. How do you think the crow felt when he could not drink? 5. What did the crow do then? 6. If you were the crow, what would you do? ...

...CHAPTER 4 Promoting Children’s School-Readiness Growth with Academic, Persistence, Social and Emotion Coaching I n the first chapters we have talked about the importance of teachers nurturing their students’ social and emotional growth by promoting positive relationships with their students and their families and by scaffolding a safe classroom learning environment by setting up predictable routines, clear rules, and effective limit setting. These are core teaching strategies that provide the foundation of the teaching pyramid described in Chapter One that supports early school age children’s learning growth and eventual academic achievement. Incredible Teachers: Nurturing Children's Social, Emotional, and Academic Competence. (Excerpt.) ©Carolyn Webster-Stratton 134 Incredible Teachers In this chapter we will discuss another foundational teaching tool; that is, scaffolding children’s learning interactions with peers and teachers with coaching methods that support their school readiness growth, academic success, and social emotional development. This coaching involves using descriptive comments to highlight specific learning skills such as persistence with learning something new, focused activity, cooperation, emotion regulation, and patience. This approach addresses the social, cognitive, emotional, behavioral, and academic elements of children’s school readiness. School readiness implies that students have made significant progress toward...

...1. The Promise Breaker This friend constantly disappoints you or breaks promises, most likely because she herself was constantly disappointed during her formative years. Your friend is unable to stop herself from repeating that pattern. It is an annoying but comfortable pattern for your friend, and without psychological help, it may be hard for her or him to alter this pattern. You could abandon the friend and the friendship, or you could find a way to detach yourself by lowering your expectations for this friendship. If she promises to do something for you, even to meet you for a cup of coffee, you can say, "Sure," but protect yourself by knowing, in the back of your mind, that this friend "nine times out of 10" is going to cancel on you. Although your friend may always have been this way, she may have also recently acquired this trait because of something she is going through right now. If a friend who has always been there for you, through thick and thin, has only recently become less reliable, you might want to cut her some slack. You have to decide if this is a lifelong trait that will be hard or impossible to change, a temporary condition that will be short-lived, or something, if it does continue indefinitely, that you are willing to accept and handle. One way to try to change the Promise Breaker is to help her to understand the consequences of your ignored pledges. Perhaps you have been keeping your disappointments about this to yourself. Try telling her how it...

Prepare for your interview well in advance. Preparing for an interview in advance will increase a candidates chances of being chosen for the position.

...As an International student in Haileybury College, I feel very proud. I remembered when I started at Haileybury College, I never felt enough self-confidence, firstly because of the language problem. I didn’t even want to talk to people around me and didn’t know what to say to them. I was even scared to look at people’s eyes. When I got to them, I found they are really nice and happy to help others if they need help. Communication cuts down the distance between friends. Don’t be shy with your friends. A friend is a present which you give yourself, and trust your friends. It is a great confidence in a friend to tell her/him your faults. Loyalty is what we seek in friendship. When you upset and troubles come, your friends will always be beside you and raise you up to more than you can be. On the other hand, there are lots of chances to make your life different. Take that chance. Try your best to do it and you will find out that you can do anything you want to do if you stick to it long enough. When you wake uo in the morning, ask yourself: ‘ What should I do ‘? Before you go to bed at night, ask yourself: ‘ What have I...

...A New School Year Timothy R Schmoyer 8/22/01 WEEK ONE - INTRODUCTION It was a fog-shrouded morning, July 4, 1952, when a young woman named Florence Chadwick waded into the water off Catalina Island. She intended to swim the channel from the island to the California coast. Long-distance swimming was not new to her; she had been the first woman to swim the English Channel in both directions. The water was numbing cold that day. The fog was so thick she could hardly see the boats in her party. Several times sharks had to be driven away with rifle fire. She swam more than fifteen hours before she asked to be taken out of the water. Her trainer tried to encourage her to swim on since they were so close to land, but when Florence looked, all she saw was fog. So she quit . . . only one-half mile from her goal. Later she said, “I’m not excusing myself, but if I could have seen the land, I might have made it.” It wasn’t the cold or fear or exhaustion that caused Florence Chadwick to fail – it was the fog. Many times we too fail, not because we’re afraid or because of the peer pressure or because of anything other than the fact that we lose sight of the goal. Maybe that’s why Paul said, “I press on toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus” (Phil 3:14). Two months after her failure, Florence Chadwick walked off the same beach into the same channel and swam the distance, setting a new speed record, because she could see the land, she kept...
