1. List and briefly describe the two most significant distinctions or awards you have earned at university/college/CEGEP, or upper years in high school.

My life changing experience all began on June 3, 2014 when I was a Freshman in high school and things weren’t going the best. Struggles through high school are very common but for me I dealt with things I couldn’t even handle. I struggled relentlessly all through high school and with my home life as well , but I was never prepared for what happened that summer when I was 14.

Of all the forms of literature, the most interesting might be the fairytales, or the science fiction thriller about robots. However, there lacks the sense of truth, in a way blocking the reader from true connection with the story. Memoir is real, memoir is true, and memoir can range from any end of the ocean in structure and theme.

High School: A time in our lives that sets the mold for who we are going to be in this world. It does this by teaching us great lessons about life, ourselves, and other people through various experiences. One of these experiences I chose to take part in was football. It was this decision that led me to this fateful day. A day in which my left leg was shattered and my perspectives on life were drastically changed. The journey I had embark on to deal with all of the after effects of this event taught me life lessons I’ll never forget.

Yes, everyone has their stories and their tales and I have mine. Out of the plenty stories that I have experienced and lives through, my elementary experience was are still is, my most memorable and crucial story of my life. It all started like any other kid’s story back in elementary school: woke up, get dropped off, learned something new, get picked up, do homework, sleep, and repeat. For me, it was slightly different and when I mean different, I mean lonely. Once I entered class, everyone was wild and someone had to say something to talk about and for me, I didn’t have anyone to go to. Once I wanted to speak to someone, I didn’t know how to start a conversation with them because how shy I was, and I didn’t know what to say that would interest them or relate to what they were saying. Since class actually started, everyone had to step down and do what they’ve been told by a superior power, who could make or break our day in a matter of minutes. When it was time for recess, that's when everyone started to become who they are, through actions with and to others on the playground with little to no supervision by adults. I had no one to go to and no where to stay, so I kept walking around the playground until the bell rung. Then we had to get through class and went home to end the day. One day was different and changed my little childhood life. During recess, a group of kids decided to come up to me and talk to me, even offered to join

My mother died four years ago from an asthma attack and not a day goes day that I don’t miss her! Initially when I found out she had passed away I was 15 years old at the time. As a result I knew my whole life was about to change; I would have a void in my heart forever furthermore, losing my mother would change my perspective of the world .Although it was hard to describe the pain that I felt, I can still describe her inner and outer beauty. Moreover she fed me and even freed proficient sleep Also, I was very proud of my mother for going back to school to get her diploma. In my eyes this made her a hero because of the obstacle that she had to overcome as an adult. To illustrate this point she got pregnant during her senior year and had dropped out. However, being the strong determine person that she was, she went back to school when he baby was six months old and earned her GED.

My mom insisted that I stay with my aunt and brother, but I begged her to take me with her. As we drove to the hospital, I felt sad because my sister was in pain. After a while of being in the cold hospital waiting area they took my sister into a room and my mom told my uncle that he could go back home and that she will call them if we needed anything. I couldn't be inside of the room so they put a chair outside of the room so I could wait for them. After a couple of hours they told my mom that I couldn’t be there so that they should call someone to go pick me up. My mom called my uncle who eventually arrived for me and I began to cry because I was worried for my sister and I didn’t want to leave them alone. On the next day they arrived and my sister had a cast on. The days that followed were a struggle since I had to help my sister do things that she wasn’t able to do like put on her shoes. She lasted a long while before she got her cast removed but I was happy to help her and my mom when it was

It was the end of my senior year one month away from graduation. When I got home my parents said they had some good news; they looked at one another with glowing eyes. Were they having a special moment? No, they were hiding something from me and I could feel that something wasn’t right. They were happy about something I don’t think I’ve ever seen them that excited. My mother showed me an ultrasound imagine. I was going to have a baby sister .I asked how many months she was; she answered four. I was so upset that my mother would keep something like that to herself. I tried to putting a fake smile on my face but it was nearly impossible. Tears were running down my checks. I immediately went to my room. I knew that my mother felt awful it was my intention .I didn’t know what to feel on one side I had so much anger but on the other side I always wanted a younger sibling.

For as far back as I can remember all the females in my family have

1) How would you describe your overall experience at Bradford School The overall experience at Bradford school turned out differently from what I expected, but it was still enjoyable. I was expecting to teach an entire classroom at once, not through different groups. However, having small groups come visit each station allowed the students to get a more hands on lesson. 2) What have you learned about teaching from this experience?

In the child development field as a teachers we have the responsibility of have a different trainings and workshops, doesn’t matter how many years of experience that you have you always have something to learn in those kinds of trainings. Las year I went to one of my favorites, the name of the workshop was universal design. What I learn there is how to implement a natural environment into the classrooms to make a nice and calm place to the children. I love to decorate my classroom but before as a teachers we use to make everything with a lot of colors, but now we are learning that if we have a natural colors and natural objects as a piece of woods, neutral furniture color, natural plants, etc. we offer a calm environment to the children. I was very excited in what I learned there and I transmitted it to my coworkers the idea to transform the classroom in a natural peaceful and calm environment (Chu M, p 80).

As a child I remeber a day that my brother’s father put his hands on my mother. The visual pops up in my head sometimes and it just makes me know that if my mother can get through that I can get through anything. It was a bright day and I was preparing myself for school, I wasn’t no older that 12 at the time. My regular routine was done and I sat on the couch waiting for my mother walk out her bedroom door. I heard a little bit of bickering and arguing but I paid it no mind. Momment later my mother rushed out her room one arm through her jacket signaling for me to walk out the door. Before I grasp the door handle I hedard the gasp of my mothers voice and immediatly turned around to find my mom forced onto the couch by this big buff figure.

My life has been a crazy roller coaster with many events that have affected my life all in different ways. There have been times where my life has been at its highest peak in the world then it falls down, right into a deep valley. From the time my lovable younger sister came into my life to when my grandpa had a near death experience, I have learned many valuable lessons through the rough times as well as the more happy times. When I was a young girl, my mom had always told me the same thing over and over again. I never really thought about how a few words would have a deep effect on me in a short amount of time.

There are places that are probably the opposite of your life. Like me and my cousins house. The craziness of my house can make break my will, which I try to keep intact. So traveling to my cousins house is a big get away for me. Going there is like me going to my second home(or third, since I have some weird relationship with some other place). And also I enjoy traveling, so its a great experience. It’s a relief that we are there after 5 hours and 55 minutes after watching my sister throw up. (She doesn’t do that anymore, thanks to medications).

Every summer, I visit my grandma's cabin in Estes Park. We have many traditions, like hiking and going to the Old Fashioned Candy Shoppe. But one of my favorites is when we drive down to Fun City and do golf, go carts and the Super Slide! Golf is always fun. They have eighteen holes of hills and tunnels. I win occasionally. Oddly enough, my cousin, Bracken, wins a lot. And he is only four! He doesn't even aim! I win at go karts half the time, the other half I start behind them and can never seem to catch up! And the superslide! That thing is like a hundred feet tall! Not to mention the river! It is so beautiful; it splits the Fun City complex in half. The bumper boats, go karts, golf course, and arcade are on the far side. The two Super
