“Side out, side out!” “You got this!” The crowd’s roaring chant is a broken record on full blast. All of a sudden, my ears deafen and my heart races. My hands are moist and my throat is dry. Perspiration slowly trails down my face as I glance at the red and blue scoreboard. The score reads 12-13. My team, Beach Vibes 14-1 has been going back and forth with Texas team, Magic 14-1 for more than an hour. Both teams won one set, and now Magic is in the lead by one point. This is such a long and exhausting

The Glass Castle: Theory and Practice Paper Synopsis The Glass Castle is a memoir written by Jeannette Walls. In this book, Jeannette recounts her unconventional upbringing along with her three siblings. Yet, despite of it all, she grew up to have an ordinary life as an adult with a professional career in journalism. Throughout childhood, Jeannette’s family lived like vagabonds, having no permanent residence, sometimes even not having an actual home but sleeping in the family station wagon

The two different styles of parenting that are described in the book are concerted cultivation and natural growth. Concerted cultivation is typically seen in the middle class families. Whereas natural growth is mainly seen in the working class families. The book defines concerted cultivation as having “Organized activities, established and controlled by mothers and fathers…” (Lareau, 2011, p.1). And it defines natural growth as having “children experience long stretches of leisure time, child-initiated

The research of this study deals with helicopter parenting and how it affects teenagers. Helicopter parenting (Parents that are too involved) is a major social issue of concern in North America because researchers are learning that as teenagers grow up into young adults; their parents are becoming more involved in their life, and making them more dependant. What are the effects of helicopter parenting on the ability for a child to become independent? Thus, this Literature Review addresses the research

Going along with this, Erikson’s Life Span Theory presents a lot of ideas that I agree with when it comes to raising children. Erikson believes that there are eight stages where an individual will face a crisis. The crisis infants will face is trust or mistrust of their caregiver. I believe this goes back to nurture, because if you show your child that you are there for them they should develop trust in you rather than mistrust. The crisis they face during toddlerhood is autonomy or shame and doubt

It’s been almost twelve years since “The College Dropout” hit the airwaves. An album that would go on and mold so many artists of today’s rap scene. Since then we have seen Chicago’s beloved Kanye West, the “I miss the sweet Kanye, chop up the beats Kanye” slowly transform into the egocentric Yezus persona that we have amongst us today. Not to say that Kanye has stopped making his all-world beats and delivering Grammy worthy albums. He has just evolved. And with his evolution, a void was left in

Helicopter Parenting How does a person grow up to be who they are? Most people say it is determined by the way their parents raise them. The parents that hover close and the parents that give their children space will have children with complete opposite characteristics. Parents that hover close are referred to as “Helicopter Parents,” and children that are given a lot of space are called “Free- Range Kids” (Rutherford). Although these styles of parenting are vastly different, both kinds

enjoy the thrill, but there is no thrill like hunting. The rush of seeing the majestic beasts glide through the woods is an experience that few know and many never experience. The adrenaline pushes of pulling the trigger and seeing the arrow fly in slow motion as it streaks through the air is one the most exhilarating things that can be experienced, but hunting is not easy and that can’t be seen more through my first experience crossbow hunting. Shooting a deer is not the only great part of hunting

Raz is a 16 year old girl who was unable to make a tomato salad without my help. Was she developmentally slow? No, her mother had taught her to stay away from the kitchen so as not to get cut of burnt. She is not the only victim of helicopter parenting. When parents are too involved in the life of their children, and try too hard to protect them from reality, it can cause real harm. Helicopter parenting can result in adults who are unhappy and unprepared for life. Lythcott-Haims says "Our job as
