...Steps to Moving to a new country Mayar Lampkin Everest University Ever wonder what it is like to move to a new country? Well wonder no more I will tell you. Moving to a new country can be fun and exciting adventure but it takes a lot of work and planning. Before you go and experience the new culture make sure you do research on the country. Another is to make sure you have the right paper work and documentation. The last step is to make sure you pack up essentials. It sounds like a lot and hard work but in the end it is all worth it. Doing research about the country you will live in is very important because you will be informed about the cultures and customs of the country. Also researching what cities are safe to live in and what cities are dangerous is good way of keeping yourself safe and out of trouble. Make sure to research living situations is it mostly apartment/condo living or is it houses? Knowing that information is good for when you are packing because you will know how much space you will have. A good way of research is finding a group on a social media website and asking them questions about the country and living situations. This step will be the most important step out of all three. Having the right paperwork and documentation is very important or you can get in serious trouble and or road blocks along the way. Making sure you know what you need is important. For example if you do not already have a passport make sure you apply for one right...

...Character Sketch: Tobias Eaton In Veronica Roth’s Insurgent, Tobias Eaton or “Four”, as he is otherwise referred to, is intelligent, loving and strong. He is intelligent both in love and in warfare. Tobias proves his intelligence when he gives Tris, his girlfriend, an ultimatum. She continuously throws herself into situations where she acts recklessly by risking her life and Tobias will have none of it. He grows so tired of her behaviour that he says to her, “You are a sixteen-year-old girl who doesn’t understand that the value of a sacrifice lies in its necessity, not in throwing your life away! And if you do that again, you and I are done” (260). Tobias is able to identify the signs of someone who can potentially hurt him. He knows that if something awful happens to Tris, he will be affected as well, so in order to prevent himself from possible heartbreak, he warns his girlfriend. The fact that he sees value in life shows his intelligence. Tobias’ actions toward his partner also exhibit that he has an affectionate side. He cares enough about her that he is willing to subtly threaten her if she does not stop trying to destroy herself. Tobias constantly tells Tris how much she means to him and performs a series of romantic gestures. As the two of them get ready for combat, Tris tells Tobias that she is unable to fire a weapon, but all he says back to her is, “Hey. You have done more for this faction than any other person. You...you’re the bravest person I’ve ever met. Stay here. Let...

...Ray Bradbury’s Dandelion Wine: Summary & Analysis Dandelion wine was a story about a twelve-year old boy named, Douglas Spaulding. Douglas was just a typical twelve year old boy, who lived to play, run around and do what any other twelve year old would do. Not a very physically fit person, but it didn’t really seem to matter. He was a person who got what he wanted, not by whining for it, but by keeping his mind on whatever he wanted and setting out a goal for it. He was a happy boy and not many problems, till now, and he had a younger brother named Tom. Tom Spaulding, age ten, did what other little brothers like to do, tag along with his older brother. He was never in the way of his older brother; in fact they liked being together. Tom took every day slowly, writing most everything down, the first day of summer, the first this, his first that. Dandelion wine took place in a small town called Green Town, Illinois. In Green Town the Spauldings owned a patch of land that they grew dandelions on. Every summer, Douglas, Tom, and their grandfather would pick the dandelions and bottle it for wine. Summers in Green Town were very hot and winters cold. It was a town where almost everyone knew each other like a big family. In this story many problems confronted Douglas. There were many deaths, Great-Grandma, Helen Loomis, Colonel Freeleigh and Elizabeth Ramsal, which were friends and neighbors of Douglas. A good friend of Douglas, named John Huff, moved away to Milwaukee because...

...Experience Paper People learn things in many different ways. Some people learn easy and some people learn in hard ways. The thing is that anyone can learn something. I will share an experience that I learned while I was growing up. My Learning Experience I was young when my father taught me to hunt. I really liked hunting because you had to be quite and still to see something to shoot. My father taught me by classical conditioning. I learned to hunt by doing it over and over. Hunting is a skill that has to be learned by making mistakes and learning how to do it better when you make a mistake. I learned by conditioning myself to do the same thing over and over to get a kill. Classical Conditioning Classical Conditioning is a process by which we learn to associate stimuli and, consequently, to anticipate events. This type of learning is the most common type of learning for some people and dogs. The way you learn this way is being able to associate something like a click with good behavior in dogs. The dog does something good then you click a button and then the dog associates the good behavior with the button click. Some people learn this way also. (Spielman, Dumpter, Jenkins, Lacombe, & Lovett, 2014). Operant Conditioning Operant Conditioning is when a person learns to associate a behavior and its consequence. This type of learning can consist of a reward/punishment method. This is the most preferred method for people to learn today. This method is the...

...Active reading means reading something with the intent on seriously understanding something and evaluating its need in your personal circumstance. In essence, reading something and even re-reading something won't let you learn anything until you actively try to understand it. When I was first prompted with this assignment, I initially was not really motivated because there was nothing motivational about it but then as I started reading and watched several videos about it, this assignment may just prove to be the most important assignment that I will ever face in my academic career. Wow!...Really?...Well, think about it. This assignment deals with active reading. It sounds boring... but when I start to delve into what it really means, it blows my mind! I am in school to learn something. To learn something, one needs to know how to learn something successfully. For me, that means reading and understanding something or everything and evaluating its need in my personal life. Sounds familiar doesn't it? What I mean, is that active reading is a proven successful way of learning something and that is what I am here for. If this is true, and I know it is, then this just might be the most academic lesson that I have to learn so far. The next part of this assignment, has me very primed and ready to learn about active reading because I am a visual-spatial learner. Yes, VIDEOS!!!! 3 youtube videos and then, my explanation on what things that I learned from each video. This should...

...the benefits? What is your child going to learn by going to preschool? Let's look at the answers to these questions together. During play, children learn. At preschool they get to play and learn during organized activities designed to help them with this learning. They learn social interaction, physical skills, cognitive skills, creativity and self esteem. One of the most obvious benefits is the socialization your child will get. This is something that every two, three and four year old needs. You can try to organize opportunities for social interaction at home or other settings. But the group activity that your child will get at a preschool on a weekly basis cannot be duplicated by you in any other way....

...to give up or feel like you have not accomplished something the way you wanted . According to John Carroll in the writing Failure is a Good Thing he talks about how failure can be a teaching experience and how “Success is proving that you can do something that you already know you can do, or doing something correctly the first time, which often can be a problematical victory” (Carroll). The three main points are going to be the author's purpose, the feeling the writing gives the reader and tone. When an author writes something they usually have a purpose behind it, the purpose of John Carroll’s passage is that “Failure is how we learn” (Carroll). In the writing he says “But I will aslo, I hope, remind her of what she learned, and how she can do whatever it is better next time” (Carroll). So take what you have learned from the failure and use the knowledge you have gained to improve next time. Without failure you wouldn’t know how to do something as good as you do if you did not learn from your failure beforehand. “They knew how much credibility their failures gave them” (Carroll)....

...who has never played an instrument is that I know how to play my chords and scales properly, which can make it easier to learn a new song. I think this skill is great because once one learns how to play, they will always know; it can never be taken away from them. I’ve always enjoyed playing the guitar, and I recommend anyone who likes music learns how to play an instrument. 2. I gathered the information from everywhere. Websites, TV, and relatives who play guitar. I asked them what chords and notes were and attempted to learn the rest on my own. Besides learning from those sources, I bought books and tried to learn from them. I practiced, and still practice every day in order to get better. When starting to learn, I played until my fingers were sore, now I play until I feel satisfied that I learned something. The feedback I use when playing guitar is how it sounds and how well it flows compared to when I previously played it. Although sometimes it is frustrating when it’s not going well, it is usually relaxing to play. The rewards are not much. I feel it is just something to do when you are bored. 3. By reading and writing about learning, I’ve learned that one needs the determination to get something done in order to have their dreams realized. Although it is important to strive for good grades, you should also have the desire to learn something. Having prior knowledge always helps because it is a better way for the brain to recognize what a person is learning. Also...
