Emily Elizabeth Anderson is a 10-year-old fourth-grader. She attends Rush Creek Elementary School in Maple Grove, Minnesota. Emily has lived in Maple Grove since her family moved from Bloomington, Minnesota when she was only seven years old. She had a tough time adjusting to her new school, until she met her best friend Abbie. Abbie was the only classmate of Emily’s to reach out and be a caring and loving friend. Emily’s mom, Nancy, is the secretary at Rush Creek, so she is guaranteed to know every teacher that Emily will have. Growing up, Nancy was an all-star gymnast who never got the chance to compete in college due to a knee injury. Ever since her gymnast career ended, she promised herself to push her only daughter to her fullest potential as a gymnast. She had hoped that Emily might …show more content…
Her inner layer consists of art and science because she is able to thrive and succeed in these classes. Part of the reason that these subjects are in her inner layer is because she loves to participate in doing art and science activities. Emily’s middle layer is comprised of classes such as math and music class. She struggles with advanced math, but is able to keep up easier problems such as basic multiplying and dividing. She encounters difficulty when it comes to applying arithmetic to real-world problems and needs scaffolding in order to complete these types of problems. Emily lets her creative side unfold during music class, but often holds herself back because of her shyness and fear of embarrassment. Her outer layer is made up of classes such as social studies and language arts because she has never developed a desire to learn and retain the material that is pertinent in these subjects. Emily’s outer layer also involves making new friends. She encounters issues when it comes to social interaction because she can be very shy and timid. This is why Emily dislikes group projects, and would rather work
While rereading the story, I was searching for additional clues that would give me more insight on the death of the man on the bed. First time around I had my suspicions about the outcome more or so, but after knowing how the story ended I was more attentive the second time I read it. One detail of the narrative that stood out to me was Miss Emily’s mental state. I believe she had some type of mental disease. It sounds like her father was a very harsh man and did not want any man close to her; that most have been very difficult. Another detail that stood out the first time and was definitely on my mind the second time, was the smell that emanated from the house. I thought that the overpowering smell was a red flag and that something was not
“She turned to private study and was taught anatomy at the London Hospital and general medicine under the tuition of professors at St Andrews University and Edinburgh University Extra-Mural School”(Brooks 13-15). None of this would have been possible without the continued financial and moral support of her father. In order to practice medicine, Garrett had to gain a qualifying diploma. London University, the Royal Colleges of Physicians and Surgeons and other examining bodies refused to allow her to sit their examinations, but she discovered that the Society of Apothecaries did not specifically ban women from taking their exams. “In 1865 Elizabeth went on to pass the

As a Learning Assistant, working in Year 3, I worked closely with a seven year old girl who, for the purpose of this case study, I will call Jane. Jane was a confident and happy girl who, despite not being particularly academically gifted, always participated with class discussions and activities enthusiastically.
I work as a gymnastics coach at Trousdell Gymnastics Center. It is a recreational center that provides programs for all Tallahassee residents, specializing in gymnastics and exercise. The goal of this organization is to provide a safe and affordable program that keeps the community fit and engaged. They offer recreational gymnastics classes for boys and girls of all ages. There are also preschool and kindergarten programs for the younger children. On the other end of the spectrum there are adult classes that teach gymnastics and overall fitness. In addition, the gym offers classes for children with special needs. Finally, Trousdell offers a competitive gymnastics program for exceptional boys and girls. Three Olympic gymnasts have come through this program. Trousdell Gymnastics Center is named after a former Tallahassee Parks and Recreation Director Randy Trousdell, a man passionate about his community and the health of its children. Since it’s opening over 60 years ago the gym has impacted 500,000 children’s lives. I coach recreational classes for girls ages seven to fifteen years old. I begin every class by leading an extensive stretch and then we go to the events of the day where I set up stations for gymnasts to practice different skills. I end every class with conditioning to help the gymnasts grow stronger so that they can perform skills successfully. Trousdell Gymnastics Center coaches have a responsibility to these children. It is our goal to make the two hours a
In William Faulkner's A Rose For Emily there is more than enough evidence to determine that Miss Emily is mentally ill. Most of the clues and hints are subtle, but when they are all pieced together the puzzle becomes clear. Not saying it is clear as too what Miss Emily was suffering from, the only way to know that for certain would be if the author or narrator told us in the text. We can conclude, however, she was suffering from some form of mental illness. Miss Emily was seen as a recluse and odd, but what no one in the town knew was that she couldn't help it there was more going on with her then people could see.
I have known Natalie Schieuer for almost half a year now, and in that time I have been incredibly pleased to meet such an amazing, talented, and brilliant young lady. I was Natalie’s counselor this summer at Nebraska Girls State. Girls State is a week-long camp, aimed towards education of state and local government. 400 of Nebraska’s top emerging high school juniors are chosen to attend this program, and within these numbers, Natalie still managed to shine through with her accomplishments and wit.
Throughout academia, textbooks are commonly utilized by teachers to convey new information to students of all ages. Textbooks, therefore, have a profound impact on what individuals believe to be true as they mature from childhood into adulthood. Emily Martin, a prominent anthropologist at New York University in Manhattan, believes that the content in some of these textbooks is problematic as they perpetuate stereotypical gender roles that still exist in society today. Specifically, in her article The Egg and the Sperm: How Science Has Constructed a Romance Based on Stereotypical Male-Female Roles (1991), Martin discusses at length the portrayal of egg and sperm cells during the reproductive process by various textbooks. According to Martin,
The lights are shining as bright as the sun, it’s seven o'clock as the football team is about to come out. As the football team comes out we are yelling C-K-H-S. The game gets started and it is all fun in games . Halftime roles around and the boys are up 12-0 but her feet start to hurt and her cheerleading costume starts to get uncomfortable as it is a little too tight and super itchy. She's known as the pretty one that does well in school and gets good grades. The one that all the boys go after but always has a boyfriend. The one who has two older brothers that are popular and strong.
Emily Grierson is to be tried as guilty for the murder of Homer Barron. Witnesses have given the readers sufficient accounts of Miss Emily’s behavior to cause belief in her committing murder of the first degree. “First degree murder is found when the defendant intends to kill and does so with premeditation and deliberation” (Criminal Law Murder Model). The victim, having been found locked away in the house of Miss Emily (327), is the basis of prosecution for the accused. Emily Grierson will be found guilty of murder because she premeditated her crime, was psychologically unstable, and attempted to conceal her crime.
In responding to Emily’s statement that her file “Says it all”, First, I would acknowledge that I am aware she has been receiving treatment for several years. among psychiatric disorders (Be izario, 2017). Some of the questions I would ask is, how long she has been feeling this way. Does she feel like hurting herself, how many hours of sleep do you get, do you have unintentional weight loss or gain, during the last month have you often been bothered by having little While expressing the fact that although her file may contain detailed information with her past treatment, I would like to hear from her on what she thinks her problem is. Explaining to her after we identify her current concerns we can work on mutually define goals to achieve measurable outcomes. After by giving me a detailed description of what she feel is her current problem will allow me to better help her and give me a better understanding of who she is. I would also ask Emily what she

When I joined the Upper Bucks YMCA gymnastics team my freshmen year, I did not realize how much of my life would have changed. I took gymnastics classes ever since I was six, and even though the coaches would pester me about joining the team, I never felt the need to participate in gymnastics competitively. It wasn’t until I began to practice with the team girls that I realized how much I was missing out, and I never regret the day that I became a member of the Upper Bucks gymnastics team. Not only was it a place where I challenged my gymnast abilities, where I learned what it meant to be healthy, and where I discovered the thrills of competition, but it is a place that I call my second home. I met girls of all ages coming from different
It could have been predicted that the pathways of physical, cognitive, and social development would progress to where they are now undoubtedly. In terms of physical development, Mia has shown interest in the sport of softball since the young age of six years old. By the age of thirteen she joined the school team and went on to play on the varsity team (Manis, 2006). Mia has played up until this point and she seems to enjoy the sport and being physically active in all that she does. In terms of cognitive development, Mia has shown strength academically since the age of eight. In Mia's psychologist report it is noted that her scores for math concepts were in the gifted range, as well as results with Information (15), Vocabulary (17), Similarities (16), Comprehension (16) mostly being two standard deviations above the mean scores for other children her age. These scores showed that she was gifted in those categories as well. Mia proved this to be true as she has never received a grade lower than an A in all of her academic career (Manis, 2006). Finally, in terms of social development, Mia has shown positive trends since the fifth grade. It is noted in her report card that she was a pleasure to have in class and that she worked cooperatively in group settings (Manis, 2006). As Mia got older, her ability to function socially improved as well, she has made a group of friends that she enjoys spending time with, and she seems to have minimal conflicts with others when she meets someone new. Mia has had her ups and downs along the way, but overall Mia has definitely shown that she is capable of being sociable in a way that others enjoy her company (Manis,
The short story “I Stand Here Ironing” (1961) by Tillie Olsen is a touching narration of a mother trying to understand and at the same time justifying her daughter’s conduct. Frye interprets the story as a “meditation of a mother reconstructing her daughter’s past in an attempt to express present behavior” (Frye 287). An unnamed person has brought attention and concern to her mother expressing, “‘She’s a youngster who needs help and whom I’m deeply interested in helping’” (Olsen 290). Emily is a nineteen-year-old complex girl who is atypical, both physically and in personality.
