I practiced and practiced every time I came to her house. Each visit I would learn something new. One day I came in and she was working at the kitchen table, there were a billion little pieces of fabric scattered all over the table. I asked her what she was making that day and she told me a quilt. I had never seen her sew a quilt before I was amazed.
Her Bible quilt is currently displayed at the Smithsonian in Washington D.C., and her Pictorial quilt is at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, Massachusetts. This I Accomplish: Harriet Powers and other pieces is a book about powers’ quilts. Harriet sold her Bible quilt to Jennie Smith, a college art teacher, for five dollars and some fabric. Jane A. Blakely Stickle’s quilts were embroidered, hand stitched, and geometrical. Jane is most famous for her quilt called Baby Jane, which is now on display at
In my older life, and particularly within my job role, this has taught me that I can be emphatic and sympathetic towards people. I have always been interested in history, including my own family history. When I was young, I would sit for hours on end listening to grandmas stories of her own background and where she came from. This has given me a sense of my own self and has taught me how to be a good listener with the people that I care for in my working life. My parents always showed great dignity and respect for other people, their own parents, aunts, and uncles.
Anthony Socci 3 White 11/28/08 Biography: Final Draft Da’dooch Socci “A day without laughter is a day wasted” This was John Michael Socci’s favorite philosophy that he lived by on an everyday basis. My interview with his sister Jenifer Socci, was a great privilege for myself. She is very wise, a remarkable memory and the smartest woman I know. This interview turned out to be more informative than I could’ve hoped for. Da’dooch was always fond of telling stories or explaining those who have passed.
Walker became the first female, self-made millionaire. She changed the way people marketed their businesses. She revolutionized the African-American hair care product industry, and helped make changes toward black peoples’ civil rights. Madam Walker was born Sarah Breedlove two days before Christmas on December 23, 1867 to former slaves and sharecroppers, Owen and Minerva Breedlove. The Breedlove’s and their six children lived in a dilapidated shack in Delta, Louisiana, near the Mississippi River.
I listened in on what one of the rooms as she was rounding. She did a great job of asking all the questions correctly, but I told her she can always stay a little longer and converse with patient so it does not seem like she is coming in just to check in. I then asked her multiple questions about being a and how we can improve anything. She mentioned that making at least two rounds was not a difficult task and that she has always gotten in both rounds. Everything else she mentioned was positive and she appreciated the friendly staff.
She taught me to respect other people and that while everyone has their opinion; it is in no way my right to take that away from them, whether it is wrong or right. Her actions spoke louder than words, but her words also still spoke loud, she always saw the best in people no matter how rude they could be to her she would still be friendly and actually be concerned about them. I spent every weekend with her at her home in Lakewood where she taught me everything I needed to know about life, things I’m just now realizing but are very important values I have been living by my entire live consciously or sub-consciously. Living through a war is something she very rarely talked about but I listened when she did. She talked about the city going completely dark at 6pm so the Nazi’s couldn’t see where they were dropping the bombs, how they would have to close the shutters every night and stay in their basement till the next morning and not knowing whether or not she would make it throughout the night.
A Girl From Yamhill Beverly Cleary I selected Beverly Cleary to read about because she is a well known author, especially by youth’s. She has wrote many famous books for many different ages like children’s picture books as well as juvenile fiction and young adult novels. She is best known for her stories about little Ramona Quimby. She has accomplished a lot; she was even named a library of Congress “Living Legend” in 2000. I was pleased with what I read, since she took one of her teacher’s advice and made it a reality.
Deb McGowan knows the power of clothes. She was among seven teachers from across the United States to win a fashion makeover this summer from Jones New York in the Classroom, which included a $1,500 clothes shopping spree in the Big Apple. McGowan, 52, has always been a sensible dresser, but this school year, the second-grade teacher at Earl Boyles Elementary has added some pizzazz to her wardrobe and to her spirit. Not only did the makeover boost her self-confidence, but it may bolster her students' attitudes as well. There is little research showing a correlation between teacher attire and student achievement or behavior, but some students and teachers across the Portland area believe it makes a difference.
