Counter for the Case Against Chores Abstract Jane Smiley attempts to give parents advice about household chores in her essay The Case Against Chores, which was featured in an issue of Harper’s magazine in 1995. I think that Jane had a somewhat privileged childhood; if it weren’t for finding the way to hard work through working with horses, she would most likely not have a clue of how to operate in the adult world. I grew up in a house with a chore list, and it helped me on my path to be a functioning adult and mother. Agreed that most children would celebrate Jane Smiley’s case against chores, but is it any good? In her essay, The Case against Chores, Jane Smiley shows her contempt for chores by giving some opinions that I simply do not agree with.
And even before that my mother would read to me every night before I go to sleep. She would have this big book filled with Mother Goose nursery rhymes and would read that along with some other books. When I started to talk my parents taught me the alphabet which seemed pretty easy. It wasn’t long before I could say the entire alphabet on my own. The next thing my parents taught me was to put the letters and sounds together to
Upon picking my topic for this paper, I decided I wanted to do something that I had no background information on, so I chose to do my paper on Fibromyalgia(FM). A co-worker had mentioned that her daughter has this disease, so the name immediately stuck out while skimming our list of topics. This paper will discuss what it is, common symptoms, how it is diagnosed, possible cures, as well as other helpful information that I have stumbled upon in my research. What is it? After doing just a couple minutes of reading I learned that it is known as a disorder or syndrome, not a disease.
I never knew all the different types of treatments and therapy that my friend went through before she passed way in 2005, until I read more about it for my paper. While researching all this information I really wish the newer drug Kalydeco was approved while my friend was still alive. Even with some of the common side effects I really believe my friend would be still here today and would have lived passed 37. Overall, I really enjoyed looking up this information and writing this paper I feel I know a little more about this disease and understand the different symptoms as well. References Lauren B.

She has influenced the development of my identity through obstacles and experiences she overcame or didn’t. As a little girl, I had a friend named Jennifer who I believe went through challenges that opened my eyes on ways of life. She moved into the house next to mine when I was seven. The first day I saw her, I knew I was not going to like her simply because she was the new girl. After a few
Unit 8: Certification, Professional Development, and Ethics PS365: Applied Behavior Analysis II Prof: Jennifer Magnuson 2/3/2015 By Natalie Jennings There are many experiences that I have had that have led to my interest in Applied Behavior Analysis however I can’t say that they were due to my professional or educational experiences. When I was in elementary school my best friend had a sibling who was autistic. I remember always being very interested in her behavior and how she functioned in the world. I would watch her for long periods of time and wonder what caused her to behave the way she did and also how I could help her. I spent a lot of time with her since I was very close to the entire family.
An Evaluation of IUPUI Center for Young Children Kayla Bruen ENGL 111-1CH Ivy Tech Community College September 29, 2011 An Evaluation of IUPUI Center for Young Children Introduction When I was a child I never did like going to daycare, simply because I knew that child care providers would not treat me like my mother would. I have chosen to evaluate this center because I know people who have use this service. This evaluation will be useful to parents who are seeking child care on campus. I have interviewed two of my friends who are using this service. When I interviewed my friends I asked questions about the cleanliness, activities, hours, prices, and location.
It was a long time before I realized if I wanted to do better for myself, I would have to take the initiative read to educate and become knowledgeable. Once I got married and had my own child it seemed my dream of becoming a lawyer would never come to be. But I became more in my child’s eyes I was not only her mother but a teacher. I was able to pass on the stories my mother shared with me, as well as many other stories. I also passed along the passion to read and write.
About her past relationships, what kind of thins she likes to do, and how she has changed her life to become a better person. "When I was about 12, I took my first hit of marijuana with my friends, well, so called friends. I did it numerous times after that also. Then I decided that it was doing absolutely nothing good for me, so I decided to change. I went to counseling, went to groups to talk with individuals that had the same problems as I did, and how to fix it."
My experiences with reading and writing My earliest recollections of both my reading and writing experiences are not pleasant and to date these experiences have not changed. Prior to my kindergarden days my mother would teach me at home the letters of the alphabet in the hope that my entry into school life would me smoother. I am not too sure that she succeeded. I recall my first day in the kindergarden class, the teacher started off with figures; I thought to myself smooth sailing. I thought that all day this is what I would doing, little did I know that reading would be next.
