Scrooge walks past a man he had treated poorly the other day and promises to help him. He then goes to Fred’s house. Everyone is shocked by his sudden change in attitude. The next morning, Bob arrives late to work. Acting like his old self, Scrooge pretends he is mad at him, and then tells him he is going to give him a raise and help his family.

It is generally assumed that all Romanians are liars and thieves. This is a stereotype. Yes, most of them are poor and some of them have no choice but to take things and lie. This is how some of them survive. Especially the Roma (gypsies). Most people assume the gypsies and the Romanians are one and the same when they are not. The Roma have the Romany language somewhat mixed with their home country, the ones who live in Romania mix Romanian with the Romany language.

The school environment was measured by its implementation of the Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) approach. SEL is a framework that focuses on resiliency and teaching social and emotional competencies to children and youth (Hong, Espelage, Grogan-Kaylor, and Allen-Meares, 2011). Specifically, SEL uses social skill instruction to address behavior, discipline, safety, and academics to help students become self-aware, manage their emotions, build social skills, and make positive decisions. A meta-analytic study of more than 213 maltreatment intervention programs found that SEL-implementing schools could expect better student behavior and an 11-point increase in standardized test scores (Durlak, Weissberg, Dymnicki, Taylor, and Schellinger, 2011). The affluent school with abundant resources implemented SEL to promote resiliency. The less-affluent school with limited resourced did not implement SEL; therefore, its students did not have access to any resiliency

Parents, including John and Ruth, brought their children to the store to sit on Santa’s lap and reveal their deepest wishes for their most desired toys. The Blomquist’s toddler, Marvy, awestruck and bug-eyed by his first sight of the jolly red elf, froze in his tracks, pointed at the astounding vision, and verbalized his amazement by loudly repeating the word Jesus over and over again. Even though he amused numerous townsfolk and farm families who overheard his mistaken identification of the celebrity, at least he revealed that he came from a good Christian home. In an attempt to console and quiet her son, Ruth picked him up to no avail. Subsequently, she passed him to John, to whom the toddler clung to for security and finally settled
