The short story "Everyday Use" by Alice Walker, the story is about two sisters and a mother. Despite the family being poor, the mother works hard to provide for the both of her daughters. Dee is the eldest daughter and despises where she came from. Dee later on gains an education, attends college, and obtains a degree. In the story she is going through an identity crisis and changes her name to "Wanegro." On the other hand, Maggie is a shy young girl. At such a young age, she is still suffering from a tragic event.

She was widely recognized as one of the wealthiest women in the country as well as the very first female self-made millionaire. She used her company, which she founded, Madame C. J.

In “Everyday Use”, Alice Walker presents an everyday average family which involves a single mother with two daughters, one who seems to have life handed to her, and the other who is shy and lacks confidence in herself due to a family tragedy. Alice Walker gives some interesting stories behind each of her main characters: Mrs. Johnson, Dee (Wangero), Maggie, and Hakim Akbar (Asalamalakim). Among the characters in the story, Mrs. Johnson stands out because she loves her daughters equally, she accepts them both, and she overcomes her conflict with Dee.

7. Discuss your role as a school board representative. This has been a tough year due to teacher cutbacks, reduction in programs, etc.You see Benjamin’s situation as tragic, although you recognize that those resources being used to tutor Benjamin could be spent on things that would benefit more than one child. You have concerns that Benjamin won’t do as well if he is transferred to another

Taking on the role as a teacher puts me in a leadership role. I chose for my artifact the ESO online training from Mr. Moss, EDEE 4330 Math class. Math seems to be the subject across the board most people is afraid of, but the ESO training provided fatal information for student’s success. I understand that I am responsible for setting an example for my students that I would be proud of them to emulate. I would love for my students to follow in my footprints and make a difference in others’ lives. It has been said, “it takes a village to raise a child”, and I know that I can be most effective when I reach out to families, colleagues, and the community, to employ the approach. It takes all that to raise well-adjusted productive members of our community, being it locally or

The first person I chose was none other than the iconic, motivational speaker, activist herself, Madam CJ Walker. She empowered so many women of color to be independent and has paved the way for aspiring and current entrepreneurs , mainly women, who are looking to go into the cosmetology field. Walker, whose birth name was Sarah Breedlove, hadn’t always been the successful entrepreneur she was, and had to work extremely hard to obtain her multi-million legacy. She was born when slavery was still prevalent, and her parents, as well as older siblings, worked as slaves on a plantation in Louisiana(her home state). Luckily, the Emancipation Proclamation was signed, freeing all slaves from their owners, Madam Walker was the first of her six siblings

Sarah Breedlove (Madam CJ Walker) did the unthinkable and became the first self-made female millionaires, during a time when women could not vote and African Americans were legally discriminated against in America. Madam CJ Walker survived countless boundaries which included being orphaned at seven, widowhood by age twenty, bad marriages, being a single parent, institutional racism, Jim Crow era, and low wages. How did Madam Walker achieve this incredible feat, facing such dire odds, and challenges in a time where she was thought of as less than a person? The following research in about the woman, the times, and her accomplishments during an era of hardship for all women especially for the African American women.

Hair product companies that are owned by African Americans are created to help the black community enhance their kinky-curly textures. From natural hair products to permed hair products, many companies are making millions among millions of dollars for providing the best shampoos and moisturizers. Many of the natural hair companies were influenced be a woman who created a new regimen for hair growth and created handmade hair products. Sarah Breedlove, who is also known as Madam CJ Walker, gained knowledge about caring for coarse hair and started her own product line. Her first hair product was Madam C.J Walker’s Wonderful Hair Grower and her reputation skyrocketed because of the good reviews about her new creation. Not only she was an entrepreneur, she was also a philanthropist and a helpful Civil Rights activist throughout the early 1900’s.

The city of Walkerton is a town located in the province of Ontario, part of the Brant County and governed by the municipality of Brockton. This town was first settled/discovered by two soldiers named William Jasper and Edward who farmed off the east of the river. Joseph Walker was the greatest contributor to Walkerton (considered Walkerton’s founder), he build saw mills, flour mills, created an economy with small business, become the reeve of Brant country for several terms and was elected the first mayor. This town came about ini 1871 with a very miniscule populations of just under 1000. One of the perks of walkerton is their railroad. This has made exportation very efficient allowing locals ship their grain and start their own businesses.

S/L Walker arrived from dispatch to the security officer in PV. Officer Tucker was standing next to his car. Office Tucker was alert and oriented x4. Officer Tucker stated, "I am cold, do we have something to check his temperature?" S/L Walker stated, "I can get one." Officer Tucker stated, "I felt cold for an hour now and I have chill bump.

S/L Walker advised that

The story “Everyday Use”, in my opinion, portrayed three strong woman who had strengths in different type of areas. In this story there is a character referred to as Mama. Mama in the story describes how she would image herself if she was on a television show, implying what she thinks as being desirable. She described herself as being “a hundred pounds lighter, my skin like an uncooked barley pancake”

In Alice Walker's "Everyday Use” she creates a conflict between characters. Walker describes a family as they anxiously await the arrival of, Dee, the older sister of the family. When Dee (Wangero) comes home to visit Mrs. Johnson and Maggie, right away the readers see the differences in the family by how they talk, act, and dress. Dee has changed her name to an "African" name and is collecting the objects and materials of her past. Dee thinks that since she is in college she knows mores then the rest of her uneducated family. She is more educated and looks down on the simple life of her mother and sister. When Dee asks for a beautiful family heirloom quilt to hang on her wall, Mrs. Johnson finally denies her of this task. Mrs. Johnson finally sees that Dee does not want the quilt for the same purpose as Maggie does. Instead, Mrs. Johnson will give Maggie the quilt to keep her and her husband warm. The theme of the importance of heritage becomes clear at this point of the story. This theme is shown by Walker's use of conflict, irony, and symbolism. All throughout her short story she incorporates heritage. She describes it as a background feeling between family members, and African heritage to heirlooms that have been in the family line for generations. Dee the older sister takes her heritage for granted by only wanting her heirlooms for her educational purposes.

I learned quickly that being an effective teacher is an art that takes time and devotion. Many times, teachers are not provided with the necessary materials in order to maintain the various learning styles in a classroom. It is up to the teacher to create an environment where students can succeed. This is a full time job, meaning that a teacher’s work is not done once they leave the school. A teacher must contribute a significant amount of time and effort in order to see positive results in the school and in his or her own classroom. After observing my cooperating teacher’s strategies and learning more about the profession, I knew that I was going in the right direction with my life. I took a significant amount of knowledge away from this experience and have continued to strive to be the type of educator that I was blessed to work with during this experience. .

This past semesters has been an eye opening experience that has changed my views on teacher. Ever since I was little, I have always wanted to be a fourth grade teacher. However after being placed in a second grade classroom my views have changed. I liked the idea of teaching fourth grade because my fourth grade teacher was my inspiration in life. When I was in Ms. Petro’s class I enjoyed being able to watch the students progress over time. Being able to see the drastic improvements in little children is very rewarding and that is why I want to continue to teach lower grades. I have learned that being a teacher requires a special someone, a person who knows that sometimes you will have to deal with tough situations leaving you exhausted and feeling like you are not able to help more. But at the same time, being a teacher allows one to be a visionary for the world and those who surround you.
