Los Santos Short Story

Unschooling is different from traditional grade-level structural education in every aspect of its design, rather than placing a child in a classroom of four walls and teaching what the government has constructed it allows the child to determine their syllabus. The controversy about unschooling is the freedom that the students receive. The teachers sole purpose is to provide an environment to nurture the students interest, in the students own way while providing what’s needed to follow those interest (Morrison, 2016). This system of homeschooling allows an extraordinary amount of play for students under the philosophy that through play will arouse learning within the student and most importantly the student will entertain learning while progressing on their own terms. The end goal that parents seek is to embrace and nurture their child’s desire to become life-long learners that seek

The sun was out and beating down on us already, it seemed as we had been out there for hours but really only minutes. Yet somehow I wouldn’t wanna be anywhere else on this day except the baseball field. Little did I know what would happen that day. It was a Friday too, but for this game I felt good and knew something good would happen or bad. Either way i was prepared for the game. This was a game that would determine if I would start the last home game, so I had to do better.

Cruz is know known today as one of the NFL top wide receivers.

Quite frequently, homeschoolers are stereotyped. “Unsocialized and awkward,” I’ve heard people say. While for some homeschoolers this is definitely true, it is not for the majority. A lot of homeschooled kids are enrolled in extracurricular activities, such as team sports, ballet, and summer camps that provide interaction with other people. Homeschool coops do the same while preparing students for college by exposing them to different teaching styles and the competitive nature of schooling. From my experience, it is the minority of homeschoolers who are asocial, because they are involved in little, if any, extracurricular or coop activities. This is the group from which the stereotype of homeschoolers is originated. A person who is generally

A Guatemalan native, a male graduate student that I work with in my research group at the University told this story. He came from the countryside, living in a small village back home. According to him, the story of La Llorona, involving a weeping woman, arose sometime in the 1700s and became well known both at school and home. Some claimed to have actually seen the weeping woman. Some disregard it as unscientific and implausible. No one is sure of the exact origin of this urban legend. This story was told to me and another graduate student in our research group while sitting in lab waiting for the experiment results. The story began as we started sharing our own background and the culture of our own countries when the storyteller

Oscar Casares made Mr. Perez a believable by describing her features “she measured five feet two inches and weighed 164 pounds,” (Casares line14) he also gives us a vivid detailed on how people watched her every time to bowl. In his short story Mr. Perez is the main character who is from a little town called Brownsville’s located in the board of Texas and Mexico. He opens the story with her at the bowling alley where everyone stops to watch her paly, Casares say “the ball’s cherry red and gold swirls made it look as if it were catching fire when released down the lane… People stopped to watch when she was up” (Casares line 2-4) in which the reader fells as if they can see her roll her ball.

Fernandez was one of the best pitchers to play the game of baseball. The central idea is how long of a road it was for him to get into the MLB. Not only did Fernandez gain his freedom, but also overcame huge obstacles. A very bad injury took him a whole season to recover, but Fernandez still ended out on

On September 6, 2015 a man tried to carve his name into a wall at the Alamo. The man was caught and taken to jail. He was faced with many charges.

For the spare time that we had during the day, we stayed at the Witties’, the family that was considered our host team. Many people were playing board games while others were sleeping, because everyone wanted to do something to keep their mind off of the game. Then, the team planned a feast at Brady’s, a local restaurant nearby. Everyone ordered multiple entrees, but more than half of everyone’s food was still on the plate by the time we felt the restaurant. Stomachs were turning, and hands were shaking. It was time to get ready for the big game, so the team went back to the big, red house owned by the Witties to change into our uniforms. Many teammates were braiding each others hair, while other were putting on makeup in order to look great for all the pictures

What drives people to undertake missions? For example, Ernesto wanted to learn english, go to school, and not give up so Ernesto came to America to go to school, learn english, and not give up. Annie Johnson did not give up and Annie made her own business and without this business Annie would not have money and would not be able to handle her childrens. Monica had more responsibilities to do because Monica wanted a little brother. Individuals are driven to undertake missions because for example one of the motivation of the first story was to learn english and go to school and be successful, another motivation was to make money to support a family, and the last motivation was that someone wanted a little brother.

We all know the big city that everyone loves to talk about and be a part of the experience of a lifetime which is Los Angeles, also known as L.A. It is one of the most known cities in California and around the world where people’s dreams come true. L.A. is best known for its beaches, entertainment, amusements, and the people around the city. It’s also known as “The City of Angels”, which is the spanish word for “Angeles”. It is the second most populous city in the United States after New York. I’ve always known L.A. as a big part of my life, being born in the city of luxury and fame. Growing up, I never knew how much of a big deal LA was until I was in high school. Being around so much popularity and seeing the opportunities that LA has brought to people was amazing to me. From the sports games, to the concerts, to the famous celebrities walking the red carpets brung so much excitement to me and I was glad to experience all of it.

Los Angeles was the first product off the assembly line of American urban planning. Turned on in the late 19th century, the city-making machine was fueled by an immense immigration of people who sought to create a new type of city out of the previously quaint pueblo. They also strove to craft the first major city developed primarily by Americans and outside of European archetypes. As a result, Los Angles is not only incredibly diverse, but also nearly impossible to define. Since it is a product of the American machine, understanding the community of Los Angeles becomes vital to understanding the United States. But to fully comprehend the present Los Angeles, one must look at the process that created it. Specifically, Los Angeles was

Many concerns are expressed for homeschoolers. When it comes to homeschooling, the first point of emphasis that critics point towards homeschoolers is the lack of socialization. “Critics charge that home-schooled children will be socially handicapped and unable to adapt to real-life interaction when older” (Jeub 1994). Ultimately, critiques get their conclusions with many observations and interviews that show how they do not choose to, or are not incorporated in social events or activities. Critiques imagine that the children are stuck with their parents all day and only go out when their parents allow them or when they personally go out. With this environment, critiques envision that homeschoolers get little to no cultural experience from their world surroundings (Anderman and Anderman, p. 468) In essence, the assessment is a never-ending speech from the critics that the number one flaw in homeschool is socialization and the

New York City that is depicted in Taxi Driver seems to be too real to be true. It is a place where violence runs rampant, drugs are cheap, and sex is easy. This world may be all too familiar to many that live in major metropolitan areas. But, in the film there is something interesting, and vibrant about the streets that Travis Bickle drives alone, despite the amount of danger and turmoil that overshadows everything in the nights of the city. In the film “Taxi Driver” director Martin Scorsese and writer Paul Schrader find and express a trial that many people face, the search for belonging and acceptance.
