Scorn trust, whipped like a horse. Happiness Still visible yet faded. The loss of a child that never made it Eating the food of passion, yet the hunger of the stray dog never leaves.

What would you say to This, him, her , me ? #3 Photogenic and Colorful: That outfit The one thing I wear till it wears me The dress is just darling, sparkles of pink Oh and the heels! It’s a must that they bite back My bittersweet experience yet an answer to all questions The others bummed and stunned.

...Mom woke me up by reading to my younger sister that morning. A pang of jealousy hit me not for the first time in my short life. Why didn’t she ever bother to read to me? Why didn’t she wake me up to say goodbye like she did every morning for Olivia? I loved her just as much as Olivia did. Why did she always get everything? I turned over and opened my eyes to the sound of my mother’s voice. I scrunched my face up. The bright morning sun was far too bright for me. I watched my mother read and smile at my younger sister. I didn’t say anything. She never even noticed I was awake. Not even a glance my direction. She left for work before I had worked up the courage to tell her I loved her. I went back to sleep praying that I would wake up early enough that Dad wouldn’t come get me and late...

...Empowering Olivia Sabrina L. Johnson ECE313: Collaboration with Parent & Community Professor: Ann Zucker July 2, 2012 Empowering Olivia As an educational professional, one the most important parts of my job is to appreciate all of the different stages that toddlers go through as they are developing (Gonzalez-Mena, 2009). In this paper, I will introduce you to Olivia, a toddler who is on a constant quest for independence, as well as explain how, as an educator, I can facilitate the empowerment that Olivia desires. I will also describe six key points illustrating my understanding of the importance of validating Olivia’s desire to gain power and control, as well as find a community resource for parents with toddlers like Olivia. Creating a developing appropriate environment is essential to helping empower Olivia. It should be designed to allow her the freedom to explore and try different things. One of the key areas of concern in developing an appropriate environment is safety; at this stage toddlers touch, explores, and use their bodies to learn about the world; therefore; a developmentally appropriate environment should be designed to allow them to climb, push, poke, prod, and perform a variety of other independent movements (Gonzalez-Mena, 2009). Toddlers are developing a sense of themselves as separate from their parents. They tend to insist on doing things for themselves. As an educator, I can help Olivia become independent by...

...Electric guitars and staggering statistics shared a Central Park audience of more than 60,000 people on Saturday at the Global Citizen Festival, a five-hour concert held on Central Park’s Great Lawn devoted to ending extreme poverty worldwide. The music line-up—which included Neil Young with Crazy Horse, Band of Horses, The Black Keys, The Foo Fighters, K’Naan and surprise guest John Legend—performed free-of-charge to the public to highlight issues of hunger, poverty, polio and malaria. But while the simulcasted event’s intention was to increase awareness of worldwide social inequity, the overall message of altruism fell flat. Two hours before the concert’s start time, the attendees flooded the Great Lawn. Petition holders representing UNICEF, Half the Sky, The End of Polio and Charity Water descended upon the crowd to collect signatures to encourage future involvement in their respective charitable causes. Surprisingly, the charity volunteers were not well received by the music lovers. Many attendees walked away, or, responded with “leave me alone” before the volunteers could utter a word. The apathy, and the resulting cold responses, lasted from the time of admission to when the opening band stepped foot on the stage. It is odd that attendees shrugged their shoulders at the ambassadors; yet, they lit up when the musicians advocating for the same charities began performing, especially given the timely message. The concert was scheduled around the meeting of the United...

...Some people believe that social status entitles them to love with an equal status person. Duke Orsino is an important man who believes that Olivia’s love belongs to him, just because they are both powerful rulers.
