Wow, I don’t know what to say… I am fascinated with your story and find that it is quite similar in nature to mine. I to have never lived more then 5 years in one place. I was born in southern California, but have lived all over the world. Last year I spent one year living in Barranquilla, Colombia (finishing my BA in Modern Languages and Literature in Spanish at La Universidad del Norte) and was also fortunate to visit Panamá (I didn’t quite make it to Costa Rica, but I have always dreamed about visiting or living there.) So, I was wondering, it sounds like your parents were missionaries, or did they do some other type of work? As I mentioned in my profile, I spent ten years as a church planter in México (1996-2006) and started and pastored three churches, one in León, Guanajuato, another in Mérida, Yucatan, and another, which was the largest church of a few hundred people in Chihuahua, Chihuahua. My daughter Ruthie (18 yrs.) and my daughter Abbie (16 yrs.) were both born in México. It was such a special time in my life …show more content…
I don’t like to talk negatively about anybody, so I only would have good things to say about her and we still are Christian friends to this day. My oldest daughter Gracie (22 yrs. old) lives on her own in Monmouth Oregon and is studying at the university to be a nurse… I am so proud of her. The other two joys of my life live with their mother in the Portland, Oregon area. As far as Montana is concerned, my mother moved from Portland to Montana seven years ago. After my divorce I spent two years working in China and then decided to relocate to Montana. I lived for awhile in Bozeman (about 5 hours away from where my mother is located and then recently relocated to the Kalispell area…but I will tell you that my heart has always been in Latin America, doing the Lord’s work…no matter what I do… or where I live, there is always a longing to be somewhere in Central or South
Mum Betts was born a slave circa 1742, spending her young adult years in the household of John Ashley in Massachusetts. When Ashley's wife attacked her, Betts appealed to a local abolitionist, who brought her case to the courts. Betts was granted her freedom and 30 shillings in damages in 1781, with the case Brom and Betts v. Ashley. Betts became a paid servant and raised a family on her wages. Mum Bett, or “Mumbet” as she was referred to passionately, proved to be extremely determined in ending the slave trade in the new Commonwealth of Massachusetts when she successfully sued for freedom in 1781, amazingly becoming the first African-American woman to win her freedom from slavery.
I was borned in a small village call San Bartolome Quialana located in Southeastern Mexico. It is best known for its indigenous peoples and cultures. Here, in San Bartolome Quialana, women proudly cover their heads with multicolored chews and protect their satin dress with their gauze blouse and bib garments, each made with their own hands. The fabric is reserved for the women who also work in the fields. I mostly grew up with my mother Guadalupe,Smirna and Friedy. My brother being 14 years and my sister 12. In San Bartolome Quialana I grew up speaking an indigenous language call Zapoteco. I lived in a bigger house there but didn't have any warm water, nor a shower. Our kitchen didn't have a stove we made our own tortilla in a comal. My

Toddlers require supervision when there are inside and outside, to protect them from their impulsiveness as they are exploring and learning. This is important because toddlers are not aware of what could harm them or consider consequences. In order to be developmentally appropriate for toddlers, the physical set up of the classroom must include sturdy chairs and low stools to allow the toddlers safely seat themselves and wash their hands. This is also fostering their self-help skills. When shelves are low, open, and accessible it is easy for toddlers to find and put back favorite toys. Toddlers need the opportunity to make choices. Labeling materials makes it easy for toddlers restore order. Covering outlets and storing poisonous liquids
Way before I ever existed, my parents met in Etzatlan Jalisco, Mexico in the month of October. A small town located near the capital of Mexico, Guadalajara. They dated for about two years before my parents decided to come to the United States. When they moved to the United States, they lived in Mount Airy, North Carolina with my current Godparents for about a month. After a month passed by my parents had moved to Virginia, where they stayed living in their own trailer throughout the pregnancy stages my mother was experiencing. Meanwhile, each day both my mother and father worked outside at a field harvesting peaches and tomatoes.
I thing my aunth Trudy has had a sad life, she has experience heartache more so than most normal people, from failed marriages, serious health issues, and issues with her children. I'm sure she has experience both sad and happy, but it seems more so she has experience more horrifying and sad situations, then happy. It all started with the feeling of her first marriage and her being left as a single mother and little funding to provide for a family. She had one failed relationship, after another. Never finding that special someone, which is very important to her. In addition to that she had numerous serious medical issues such as diabetes, high blood pressure and back problems, which cost and quality of life to be less than desirable.
Being raised in two countries, Mexico and the United States, shaped me into the person I am today, a fluent bilingual and independent young woman who enjoys helping others. I was born in Harlingen, Texas and lived there for about six years. However, my family decided to move to Mexico in 2005. Seeking better opportunities, I made the decision to return to my home state at the age of fifteen.
About a month ago, I found myself researching the history of the "Mammy" stereotype/caricature for a paper I had to do on the book Kindred by Octavia Butler. Twenty minutes into my research I somehow ended all the way up onto the Wikipedia page on the 1915 film, Birth of a Nation, which romanticized the Klu Klux Klan. I then discovered why Nate Parker chose the title for his own film and that the 1915 version was the very first film shown in the white house. After twenty minutes I suddenly remembered the focus of my paper and went back on topic. I remember saying to myself "I could spend my life doing this".
I was born to a nondenominational Youth Pastor and a Medical Sales Representative on July 30, 1996 in a tiny town in the Philippines called Naga Growing up, I spent most of my time with my many cousins. There was always someone to play with and always something to do. When my dad got the opportunity to become the Head pastor at a church in Northern California he took it. In November of 2002 my mom quit her job, we packed up our belongings, said our goodbyes and moved to Fremont, California.
I was born in a small town in Mexico on March 20, 1998. My life over there was rough, my mom had to work two jobs so she can provide for me and my brother. My brother was the one that always took care of me and was like a father figure. Leaving everything behind and having to start again chasing the American dream was hard, but was for the best. I had to learn a new language and interact with different people. In the beginning I didn't like being here I felt alone being in a strange place, going to school was also difficult since I could not communicate with my teachers and with most of my peers. That changed when I learned more English and I did everything I could to adapt to this country. I also saw how much my parents worked and still struggled

My parents were both born in Central America. They came to the United States “por tierra” which literally translates to “through land.” This means they did not have the luxury to sit on a plane and were considered aliens as soon as they stepped foot on American soil. In the U.S., they met through mutual friends, hit it off and I was born a year later. December 16, 1996 was the exact day I became my father’s first-born child and my mom’s second baby girl. My mom’s first daughter was born and bred in El Salvador so I didn’t know much about her growing up. About five years later, my younger twin sisters were born in the Fairfax hospital. That’s when we realized our apartment in Colonial Village was too small for all of us. So we packed our things and moved to Manassas Park, this is where I started and finished school. I’ve lived in
My parents were both born and raised in Mexico. My father came to the states when he was only 19 years old. Before he met my mother, he took some classes within the schools of Peralta Community College District and was able to graduate. He ended up working at Lockheed Martin and he inspects parts that will become part of a missile or satellite. He then married my mother at the age of 39.

My mother became a housewife and after a couple of months, she knew she couldn’t be home all day and she knew she had to make some extra money and take advantage of the amazing opportunity she had to be
I left home, spent some time overseas doing a mission for my church. Two years went by. I came back home and started working for a company that sent me on an outsourcing project to Costa Rica on a new line of business for six months. I didn’t really see anyone for several years (not realizing I hadn’t really stayed in contact with my extended family). I decided to pack up and move to Salt Lake and go to college there and be closer to my extended family.
Preschool in the United States is shaped by many different factors. The two focus schools were St. Timothy’s Children’s Center which is located in Honolulu, Hawaii, and Alhambra Preschool which is located in Phoenix, Arizona. The themes I will be talking about are: The Curriculum Wars and The Culture of American Early Childhood Education. These themes give a good understanding of what drives American preschools.
