Black History Month was created in 1926 in the United States, when historian Carter G. Woodson and the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History announced the second week of February to be "Negro History Week". This week was chosen because it marked the birthday of both Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass. [1] Woodson created the holiday with the hope that it eventually be eliminated when black history became fundamental to American history. [4] Negro History Week was met with enthusiastic response; it prompted the creation of black history clubs, an increase in interest among teachers, and interest from progressive whites. Negro History Week grew in popularity throughout the following decades, with mayors across the United States endorsing it as a holiday.

I think overall our Kiwanis performance is good. We worked hard to prepare for this event and personally I think we did our best in this performance. We can really see the progress of our hard work paying off seeing the ways which we played in harmony when compared to the first time we tried to play this piece. Nonetheless, I believe if more time is given, we could greatly improve the dynamics to make this performance even better. I agree with the adjudicator on the “preparedness” of our performance.
Born in the heart of New Orleans, it is lead to believe that jazz is both a popular music style and serious art form. This is proven to be correct through its development in the 19th and early 20th century, being heavily influenced through ragtime, marching bands, blues and African American spirituals. Throughout history, jazz has created serious use of improvisation, individuality and complexity that has shaped and aspired artists of today’s music. Before 1920, ragtime was seen to be a popular music style consisting of syncopated melodies and steady beats that had high contribution in creating a style of jazz. Primarily developed by African American Pianists who traveled throughout the south playing in saloons, dance halls and brothels, Ragtime flooded throughout America the music publishing industry, a music interest for whites and blacks.

We all love and support each other and have all become amazing friends.
When a patient feels comfortable with the staff of the office they will follow the doctors’ orders, as well as communicate with the team. Listening is a big thing with a lot of patients they just need someone to listen to them. It may be about nothing to us but it means so much to them. For a patient, to retell the same story about something that happened when they were young will put a smile on their faces. "When you use personalized communication" it will bring a higher customer satisfaction.
PART A.: Planning and Organizing mentoring sessions (As evidence to this section I am attaching my coaching diary, and the mentoring contract.) Mentoring in the workplace has become increasingly popular way of improving employee's performance and is very rewarding for every party involved.

Pool of mentors will also provide experts from different areas and will enable good networking opportunities for mentees.
Anyone can create music, anyone can learn it, and it is everywhere. Music has become a norm and is fundamental in today’s society and the world. Due to the numerous benefits music has to provide, it should be a requirement for schools to add music education in their curriculum. Incorporating music in the education system is proven to be beneficial not only to students and young children, but to the world as a whole. Not only does music contribute to the creativity and act as a fun experience, it is shown through studies that learning the basics of music teaches and improves a child’s social values and teamwork skills needed in other parts of our lives.
This program is so beneficial for the fifth graders because these are all topics that need to be addressed and the students should know they’re never alone. Sometimes older people can be intimidating, nevertheless, our group was a safe place for everyone to share and feel accepted. In Conclusion, this was the perfect training for becoming a teacher one day, but more importantly, it felt amazing to become a role model and a confidant for four people while having fun and teaching them something new. I will most definitely do this again next year. Not only did I make a difference in my group’s lives, but they made a positive influence in mine, which is
