“14.2 million children under age 13 met federal requirements for child-care subsidies in 2011-2012. Of that number, 8.6 million were eligible under state policies. Yet only 1.5 million children actually received the subsidies. That means only 10.6 percent of the number of children meeting federal guidelines actually get the subsidy” (Davidson 2017). The question that will be answered throughout this paper is, how accessible is childcare in the United States? Child care is the care of children by a day-care center, babysitter, or other provider while parent/ parents/ or legal guardian is working. The median household income for the United States is $53,8895 (Census Bureau) and the average cost of childcare is between $10,000 and $16,000 (Hamm 2015). This means that childcare can cost families making the median income 30% of their annual income. Given that this is the median household income, half of households have an income that is below this costing them more than 30% of their income. The United States has excellent child care that is affordable for some, however, most low-income families are unable to afford it.

Princesses, heroes, and an evil villain; the three of the components in any fairy tale. Add in a talking donkey, and the end product is Shrek. The obscureness and ridiculousness of the entire plot, the plays on modern life in a fairy tale world, and the fact that adults love it just as much as children makes Shrek different from any old fairy tale. Shrek is about an ogre and a talking donkey that go on a quest to get Shrek’s swamp back from the fairy tale creatures that unexpectedly invade his home, but instead get roped into finding the King-To-Be’s new bride. This revolutionary idea for a movie was so great, that it even drew in the adult crowd. But what made it appeal to both adults and children?

As a child, most children become infatuated with the newest Disney movie. Although Disney movies target children, watching them as an adult, we start to notice hidden messages and themes in our favorite childhood movies. A category of Disney packed with secret meanings is the Disney princess films. We watch in awe a young girl living, for the most part, the perfect fantasy life. She sings to animals, her hair is always perfectly in place, and there is always a prince to come and save her. In reality, there is much more to the princess persona than we realize. In 2014, Disney’s Frozen took the world by storm and became the highest grossing animated film ever. Frozen takes us on a magical journey with Princess Anna to find her sister, Princess Elsa, whose power to create ice has forever trapped their homeland, Arendelle, in eternal winter. Elsa is haunted by the memory of almost tragically killing her younger sister Anna because of her icy powers. Isolating herself from the world, Elsa dedicated her life to concealing her powers and learning to control them. The movie Frozen teaches the importance of social development among children.

“To survive, you've got to keep wheedling your way. You can't just sit there and fight against odds when it's not going to work. You have to turn a corner, dig a hole, go through a tunnel - and find a way to keep moving.” – Twyla Tharp

With America being the land of opportunity, the U.S has presented quite a few disadvantaged Americans’ with not so many opportunities. Especially those people of who have been arrested for a criminal crime. This also includes freshly released from prison, probation and/or parole. A study in 2012 shows with one in four Americans in the United States today, have been arrested. (Solomon). That same study shows most Americans being arrested at the age of twenty three.

As to what I known during my developmental stages was that what is now called Child Protection and Permanency, CP&P was in the past called the Division of Youth and Family Services, DYFS had a bad reputation behind its name. When growing up, it was the acronym, DYFS that was mostly said and used that brought awareness in the African American and/or poor communities that someone’s child(ren) was going to be taken away from the home. It was DYFS that put that fear in families as an indication of the removal of children for reasons indicated, and/or false accusations. Some single parent families would do their hardest to work, take care, and provide for the children from the low income that was earn from working, and stay out of the eye of ever

Christopher McCandless age twenty-two embarks on his greatest journey that will forever make him famous in his journey and death. There is the argument that Christopher was psychotic for going out into the Alaskan Wild so unprepared without any proper tools or materials. Also, Christopher should have told his parents where he was going so they would’ve known where to look for their son so he could be safer and might of had the chance to survive. What you have to understand that, Chris McCandless approached it the way he wanted to approached it because some say he is narcissistic and only does what he wants and it's true, he is but that isn't negative it's what he wants, and shouldn't we all be able to feel free to do whatever we wish. As the reader, you can pick the side you agree with and have your opinion on Chris. Christopher McCandless wasn't crazy or psychotic, but instead a true example of a person who did whatever he wanted to be filled with joy.

I am not sure why Walt Disney would put an absolute film in a children’s production. Even though Fantasia wasn’t as weird as Mothlight, I feel like children would have a hard time being interested in a film with no characters, or plot. On the other hand, children do have short spans of attention, and sometimes can’t understand difficult story lines because of their age, so maybe this film would be interesting to them. I think Walt Disney motivation to put an absolute film in a children’s production was to simply spark

THank you for your and Kent's support of Austin Kids First the past 2 election cycles. As you probably know there are 2 contested races for Austin ISD school board. Austin Kids First PAC has decided to endorse in only one of those 2 races, becuase the candidates in the other race didn't meet our minimum quality bar. In the at-large race we are strong supporters of Cindy Anderson. She has the experience, background knowledge and passion required to effectively serve on the board.

For the biggest year in his athletic career, it was also his most diminished. In his junior year of high school, Ryan Sherk a running back at West Seneca West High School would have his most important year cut short. Being one of the youngest players on the team, Sherk was named captain by his teammates and coaches to lead the team to have a better season that the years past. In collegiate sports, your junior year in high school is what's known as the “hot year” in recruiting. This is when coaches can now directly talk and contact players and recruit them to their collegiate roster.

The education that I have participated in within the vulnerable population includes when to call your physician and when it is appropriate to go to the emergency room. In the Super Utilizer program one client had been visiting the emergency room frequently, sometimes as much as three times a week. With this occurring it was important to provide education on when to call the physician and the appropriate times to go to the emergency room. In the first three or four weeks in the program the client had cut down to two visits to the emergency

Anyone would be hard-pressed to find a politician in recent years who has been elected to a national office without promising to improve education and focus their efforts on the betterment of their constituents’ children. Many of these politicians have succeeded at passing legislation to do so, but the latest of these, the Common Core standards initiative, is facing a very important query right now: does it work in America? Although Common Core is very well intentioned and in selective ways could be considered a success, there are many failures to consider as well. When dealing with such education, a vital issue, these failures must be dealt with. In order to ensure not only an equal education but also one of higher quality which the citizenry

The reason for the selecting the specific product, consequently the White Castle franchise, is the fact that Sliders are affordable. Students typically have limited budgets and will likely prefer an affordable meal choice. The hope is that the low-cost burger will make the Slider a popular meal choice for students.
