Coming from a foreign country where english is a second language, I didn’t know how to communicate. How was I going understand the information in school? How will I create new friendships without speaking? All these questions plagued me. As I sat quietly everyday trying to avoid making a sound, hoping not to get called on to answer a question or speak out loud in the class, I was trying to make clear of what these people were saying. I realized that just sitting there and listening wouldn't help me better speak English; I had begun trying to speak english with my father so I can become more fluent. After months of dedication, I was understanding and speaking a language completely different to mine. That was by far the most difficult

Jeffrey M. Pilcher and Samuel Ramos on the Topic of Mexican Culture It is a known fact that every human being communicates through language, but perhaps a little known fact that we communicate even through the food we eat. We communicate through food all the meanings that we assign and attribute to our culture, and consequently to our identity as well. Food is not only nourishment for our bodies, but a symbol of where we come from. In order to understand the basic function of food as a necessity not only for our survival, we must look to politics, power, identity, and culture.

At 9:00 pm on July 10, I took my first steps in the country that would change my life forever. As my sister, grandma, and I stepped outside the airport into the hot, humid, and dark place, talking with my (simply put) cousins, Chicho and Mirza, I realized I was in the country my grandma and her family had grown up in; Panama. I met my grandma’s aunt, Luz, who made food I never tried before such as, yuca frita, plátanos, chicha de arroz con piña, arroz con gandules, arroz blanco, and chicken. There are different types of food Panama, including many I have never heard of. I learned words in Spanish I had never heard before, differences and similarities between the United States and Panama, and they way people live. Panama City is much cleaner

Homeschooling is consistent in order to ensure stability in the learning process. Tutors encourages the child creativity and art. The uniqueness of homeschooling is that it allows the students to go on field trips based on their interests and that is to give a child a wholesome approach to life and situations. Tutors always specifically addresses the child as an individual with the aim of ensuring that they get the most of what was learned. One-on-one tutoring has been proven that it boosts the child’s self-esteem (Terry, 2011). The attention of the one-on-one tutoring encourages the child because that attention shows them that their education matters.

Though miles from home, the convenience, homey ambience, and delicious, home-style cooking I experienced at Boston’s Hidden Mana made my meal there the best that I have encountered outside the bounds of my mother’s kitchen. The positive experience began with easily finding and entering the restaurant. My family and I found the restaurant easily in a familiar neighborhood, and only a block over from my father’s old medical school apartment. Though we anticipated that parking in a city such as Boston would be a hassle, my father, much to our relief, quickly found a spot only the street over from the restaurant. An even greater relief, as I was using a walker then, was that the restaurant’s entryway and interior were both at street level. Once

During the first week of class, four readings were assigned. One of the readings, “Food and Eating: Some Persisting Questions,” by Sidney Mintz, discusses the paradoxes of food. Although food seems like a straightforward concept, it is actually extremely complicated. According to Mintz, there are five paradoxes, including: the importance of food to one’s survival, yet we take it for granted, how people stick to their foodways, but are willing to change, whether the government should allow people to freely choose food or if they should protect the people through regulations, the difference in food meanings according to gender, and the morality of eating certain foods. All of these paradoxes give people questions to think about, making this an extremely philosophical look at food studies. It also mentions that food must be viewed through the cultural context that it is in, which became important in “The Old and New World Exchange”, by Mintz, and “Maize as a Culinary Mystery”, by Stanley Brandes. These discuss the diffusion of foods after 1492 in different ways. The Mintz reading gives an overview of all of the foods spread from the Americas to the Old World, and vice-a-versa, but does not go terribly in depth on the social changes and effects of specific foods. Brandes focuses on the cultural impact of specifically maize on the European diet, noticing that most Western Europeans shunned it. He studies the cultural implications of this, concluding that maize was not accepted

Angelica learning experience demonstrates her becoming more independent. In her weekly observations it shows her being able to hold a spoon to try and feed herself. Angelica is exploring and discovering new things in her surroundings and wants to walk on her own. Angelica’s learning experience is good as she is able to explore her surroundings while making new discoveries. According to NAEYC (2009) Angelica’s learning experience is aligned with DAP birth through age 3 where infants are eager to explore their surroundings. The teacher or caregiver can now find materials for Angelica to explore with such as a spoon and bowl to play with. These actions help determine the best practice when it comes to infants and toddlers.
