I feel this gives the children and parents a sense of trust. I get down on the child’s level when I speak to them. I believe that by doing this it makes the child feel special and welcomed in the classroom. I ALWAYS praise a child’s accomplishments. I even cheer them on when they struggle with a task.
The children had the most amazing personalities and were so happy, which amazed me, knowing what they are going through. It was a true inspiration to know that they could be so positive and it brought me joy to be able to bring them happiness and ease what they were going through in anyway. After we served breakfast we went on tour of the house and I was truly taken back by the amount of graciousness and benevolence that people had selflessly donated to make the house a place of peace and bestow and sense of serenity for these families to enjoy during this time of tribulation. I have a sick child, so this experience really hit home for me. When I was in a time of need and taking my daughter for her treatments, who is now 5yrs old and thankfully has most of her health, I would have loved to be a part of something like this.
I had to redirect the conversation to asking about her family. She met her husband while working at the school. He was 6 years older than she was. He was a janitor at the school. “I always knew he was kinda sweet on me”, she said.
She says “There are so many people and things to love in the world. All we need to do is accept and appreciate them.” She sees beauty in everything. People follow us on their way to class to soak in the love and joy we
According to "Hospice Administration Careers: What Are My Options?" (2003-2012), hospice volunteer coordinators recruit and train hospice volunteers to work with patients or perform other duties (Volunteer Coordinator). As a hospice volunteer coordinator, you're responsible for developing volunteer training programs that meet standards of hospice care. She began with the company after seeking a position at a nursing home and did not get the job, she then found out about part-time job with Faith Hospice of Oklahoma submitted her resume and got the job. I asked her what made her decide to get into this line of work, she stated “It was the same kind of work she did when she helped her husband who is a Chaplin.” They would go to hospitals, nursing homes talking to them and she really enjoyed it so that is what made her decide to get into this line of work.
These adventures provided us with fun, stress, and new appreciation as lessons learned by life itself. We have laughed and cried together. We have found that sometimes we may feel alone but yet in other we were not. As students we have learned how to grow in those moments. The knowledge and opportunity which we have received, will serve us well as we embark on the journey of making our dreams come
The other tone that is seen throughout this poem is the mother’s responses. As we read, we comprehend how the mother answers with joy and excitement, like any mother would. “Here are thousands of meals, she said. And here is clothing and good education” (27-28). The mother is so happy and fortunate that she can provide all these necessities for her child.
Although the quilts at the present moment in the story were stored, they were being saved as a wedding present for the younger Maggie. When Dee showed up in the story and started requesting (demanding) to have certain pieces of Mama’s (and Maggie’s) house, it rubbed me the wrong way. This character in the story is introduced as the long lost sister/daughter who basically shunned the family homestead but is now coming back to gather the same memories, not for the tools that they are, but for decoration. Although it can be argued that her intentions may be good, and in trying to keep
The students also become able to work on individual goals while also participating in the classroom community with their peers. Another beneficial quality includes the fact that each of the parents can now feel including in their education and the activities of their neighborhood schools. One of the most important qualities of this program is that the students that were once excluding into self-contained classrooms or were homebound can now develop friendships with a wide variety of other children with their own individual wants, needs and abilities. One last reason that inclusion is beneficial is that inclusion positively convinces both the school and the community to appreciate the diversity provided by the inclusion
Steven was lively, optimistic, and full of smile. We always shared our most enjoyable things. Every time Steven and I were together, we had fun. We had laughed at ourselves, and though of some new inside jokes to have the next day at school. With the rest of our friends, we had always been able to share our silly escapades and ridiculous humor.
