Scott Shepard September 22, 2011 Lena St. Clair’s Own Personal Weakness and Changes The movie, The Joy Luck Club is about the history of four women who were born in china and their American born daughters. The immigrant women met at church in the USA and they establish a small group called “The Joy Luck Club”. They meet every week to play and strengthen their relationship.

Each of these mothers went through different hardships that kept secret for long time.
WHAT BOTHERED HER WAS THAT MANY EMPLOYEES WERE ALLOWING THEIR FRIENDS TO TAKE FREE FOOD, AND THE EMPLOYEES THEMSELVES WERE ALSO TAKING FOOD IN LARGE QUANTITIES WHEN LEAVING THEIR SHIFTS. THE POLICY WAS THAT EMPLOYEES COULD EAT WHATEVER THEY LIKED FREE OF CHARGE WHILE THEY WERE WORKING, BUT IT HAD BECOME COMMON FOR EMPLOYEES TO LEAVE WITH FOOD AND NOT TO BE CHARGED FOR THEIR SNACKS WHILE OFF DUTY AS WELL. The student employee felt these problems were occurring for several reasons. For example, employee wages were low, there was easy access to the unlocked storage room door, and inventory was poorly controlled. Also, there was weak supervision by the student managers and no written rules or strict guidelines.
However, she began having difficulties in her third grade. The is a reason for that she explains, “In the early 1990s, Nogales provided bilingual education — teaching English learners in both their native language and English — but only through the first two grades.“ Miriam also added that the teacher was the reason her daughter facing difficulties, the teacher did not speak Spanish and only taught in English and wasn’t interested in helping. Flores also mentioned that her daughter is very quite child even though the teacher said that her daughter talks a lot. She explained that her daughter talked a lot because she kept asking her classmate’s questions because she didn’t understand. This issue resulted in Miriam joining other Spanish-speaking Nogales families in 1992 in filing a federal suit to improve educational opportunity for non-English speakers.

Celina Mae Medina Formal Theme no. 2 9-Neon October 16, 2012 Curiosity of a Child, Mind of a Yoda Objective: To write about a descriptive essay about a chance encounter with a “higher being” using prepositional phrases, adjective and adverb clauses. According to my birth certificate, I am a roman catholic. As a child I was taught how to pray and go to church every Sunday with my family. Whenever I question my parents or my grandparents why should I go to church, they would say that I should give thanks to our blessings as well as pray for those who are in need and less fortunate.
Unfortunately, student and parents rely on these lunches because they do not have the income to be able to afford either full-priced or homemade lunches. The only foreseeable way for American students to receive healthier lunches in their school cafeterias is if someone can create a solution to the cost problems. To fully understand the cost problem behind all of this, one must first understand that processed and pre-made foods are much less expensive than healthier, homemade alternatives. For example, if someone was going to make a lasagna dinner for their family they would be much more likely to want homemade lasagna because homemade is always better tasting and also healthier than pre-made frozen lasagna. However, when looking at the cost of both options,
In the book, Bloom said “it’s easier for today’s children to waste food because they are so removed from its origins.” The reason why we waste food easily is we don’t have the chance to plant, water, or nurse the plants by ourselves, so we don’t know how hard it is to plant and grow the food. After reading this book, I feel so sorry for what I did every day by wasting my food and I have decided to do something better such as ordering less amount of food and take any leftovers home and cook them with other ingredients to make them into new dish, instead of throwing them into the trash can. If we can continue doing this, food wastes can be decreased. Also, we should care about our environment by not tossing the food into the trash because wasting food can negatively impact our environment, which will reduce our natural resources. For
For twenty years, I was very involved in my church such as serving, praying, signing, and teaching. As soon as I was old enough, my parents encouraged me to be part of missionary group at my church, so I traveled to Jamaica every two years to reach the unreached people including deaf people, plant churches, clothe them with the clothes, and helping out with the foster children. While I was doing that, I did not develop a relationship with God. I did pray but it was not really heartfelt prayers. I served but I only served for the church people, not for God.
Ballad of Birmingham Poem Reflection The Ballad of Birmingham was a great poem that I enjoyed reading very much. It was about a child who wanted to join the march on the streets of Birmingham. After asking her mother for permission, her mother said no because she feared violence would occur and instead allowed her to go to church and sing in the children’s choir. After she leaves, the mother is relieved that the child is in a safe place. Soon after, the mother hears the sound of a bomb explode and rushes out to make sure her child is ok. She goes to the church that is now “bits of glass and brick” and does not find her child, but finds her little girl’s shoe.
Now when her daughter came to visit at times she would remember to say that she needed to be reminded to pray five times a day, on time, but all her daughter kept saying was these nurses and doctors will not remind you of prayer times as they don’t believe your beliefs. This upset Farhia a lot. Eventually she did tell her nurse and the nurse although having to have to take care of other patients still tried to remind her on time the best she
