Over the years, parents, educators, coaches, and other authority figures have tried to boost children’s self-confidence in school by rewarding them for everything they participate in from school to sports and clubs. Whether it be receiving awards to words of encouragement, today’s Millennial generation is corrupted due to the reception of constant praises from their elders. These “good jobs,” smiley face stickers, and participation certificates created little monsters which turned into the entitled

Throughout my elementary school years, story time, which would take place right after recess, was almost as exciting for me as recess itself. Our teacher would select a book, or sometimes a series, that they felt we would all enjoy. The most prominent memory of these times comes from the end of fifth grade.

We Found The One During 5th grade year of 2016, almost once every week my parents would go and look for a house.

Peter’s journey being the first child with a severe mental disability, to be included in a general classroom at his elementary school. Elementary school was a challenge for Peter, his parents and his teachers. However, as Peter continues to get older, the film “Graduating Peter,” showcases the story of Peter’s academic accomplishments and struggles as he prepares to graduate from high school. A particular part of the video that stood out to me was when Peter’s mother talked about the loss of control she

Technology is unavoidable in today’s society. It affects most parts of our lives, especially what we do with our free time. One affected area is reading. It is undeniable that the face of reading in this generation is continually being changed by technology.
