For my community service project I chose to work with Chick-fil-A . Every year they host a Trunk-or-Treat event in the parking lot which consists of having local businesses have the trunk of their car decorated like a front door. The kids dress up for Halloween then go trunk to trunk picking up goodies, candies, and little toys that the individual businesses are handing out. The kids enjoy this event because it is like they get two Halloweens, instead of just one. The kids who participate also get a free kids meal from Chick-fil-A, and who passes up a free meal.

Because of this, the Amish are usually very fit and in great shape. At the age of sixteen, teenagers are allowed to “Rumspringa,” which is where they allow them to go out and explore the “outside world.” They do this hoping that the teenagers will come back appreciating their culture more. The Amish attend church every other Sunday and have group services most every night held in someone’s home. Every Amish person is Bi-Lingual; they speak fluently in German and English. Their bibles and hymns are written in German and English is taught in school.
These sessions usually involve long distance running and working with weights to improve strength. Dry land sessions also involve anything from running stairs to doing push-ups and sit-ups. The older children get, the more intense the summer hockey camp will be and the more competitive it gets as young teens will eventually decide if they have what it takes to make it to the big
The dance participants’ wear a can filled with pebbles around their ankles to provide rhythmic sound. The ceremony involves sacrifices made by the ceremonial leaders, prayers, taking medicine, going to water or river for ritual cleansing and smoking the pipe. The Stomp Dance is considered to be a holy even for worshiping Unetlanv. Cherokee medicine men and women also play and important part in Cherokee rituals and beliefs. The knowledge is handed down from medicine people before them who train for many years to come up with the formulas.
Every person is a function of their own history, culture and environment, and by interacting with others, these differences “gel” together and allow one to re-evaluate themselves. Teachers are in a fortunate position to see children come face-to-face with new experiences on a daily basis, whether it is in the classroom, on the sports field, as part of a musical group or society. During our “learn to be of service” day, for instance, the children go on outings to old age homes, animal shelters and to the beach to do clean-ups, and the unique interactions which take place allow the children to reflect on their own selves, act and therefore bring about social change, even if it is in a very small way. It can be said that the children co-create their realities through interaction and reflection. From what I observe within this context, there are primarily two
One of the reasons we should serve turkey is because a lot of turkey is made every thanksgiving and letting it go to waste would be a sin itself. If you won’t eat it, someone else will. Another reason to eat turkey on Thanksgiving is because it is simply a tradition, maybe not to all, but to my family it is; and it isn’t thanks giving without it. The third and final reason we should be allowed to eat turkey on Thanksgiving
Joel’s and Daniel’s main difference was that the rabbi’s used Joel as an example for the other boys on how to act during school. When Joel and Thacia (Joel’s sister) broke a rule and went to the mountain on a “vacation”, they met Daniel again, after five years, who tried to get Joel to join the group of men on the mountain to fight against the Romans. Instead of Joel joining the men on the mountain, Joel helped Daniel make a band of boy, who had high dreams of making an army. As Joel progressed through life we see what he is, and what he might be someday. Above all else the next “part” of Joel’s life is probably the most important.
Wind-Wolf is only five years old and in kindergarten. Lake does not understand why his son’s teacher has already labeled Wind-Wolf as a “slow learner.” Lake goes on to describe the two bonding ceremonies that took place after Wind-Wolf’s childbirth. As a first introduction into the world, Wind-Wolf was bonded with his mother and to “Mother Earth” in a traditional native childbirth ceremony. He has been taken care of by his parents, siblings and extended tribal family since this ceremony. The author goes on to talk about the second ceremony and how it was used to bond Wind-Wolf spiritually with the “Great Spirit”, the “Grandfather Sun, and the “Grandmother Moon.” These ceremonies are a tradition to show respect to the new born and to ensure that the bonding helps lead him to a path of spirituality.
Toronto shows how culturally diverse and open this country is. Like establishing streets and areas which are identified with certain cultures and nations such Chinatown or Little Italy, also in the summer every weekend, there is a different cultural festival. It makes us Canadians proud that everyone can feel like home, and those who came here looking for a better life, that there aren’t discriminated but embraced for who you are. And anybody to lives in Canada wants to learn more about different countries. A very common question is “What is your background?”.
