Daycare Center

            My final paper for English, I wrote about childcare or daycare center.  After decided that I wanted to focus on teaching career and teaching Elementary School, I figured that I will have to handle kid under the age of 12.  There is tons of research had been done about children but what about asking from someone who been experienced for so long.  My answer is the childcare or daycare center.

            The childcare or daycare center is the only place where they handle with children that from different background.  A daycare is not like a lab will they conduct research but a place where they nurture kid.  I believe that nurture a child will lead you to understand them and see the children develop their mind as they grown up.  By gaining that knowledge, I can use it toward teaching kid in the near future.

              As I walk into the Learning Tree Center to meet with Ann Gutoski the Director.  I can see that it is not easy to handle children especially a diverse.  But a kid is always a kid and one basic rule is they do enjoy the same thing.  For example, kids love to sing song like BINGO, London Bride, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, and etc. singing those songs seen to calm them down and taking their mind off.  Kids like to imagination things, a good song will make they think positive and draw into their happy mood.

            Teaching children under the age of 12 is very important.  Whether the child being placed at the childcare center or at home, the early years of their life must be surrounding by good role modeling, loving and caring. What they learned will impact their future life.  With a good start from daycare and preschool, will make a teacher teaching way more easier.  . 

Happy Mother's Day

Today is Mother’s Day, a day we wanted to say I love you Mom, a day we honor our Mom, a day we and the world celebrated who are Mom or motherhood.  People from different culture will celebrate Mother’s Day differently but we all do it on the same day.  For my family, we the kids decide to have our mom to be relaxation day.  We make our usual food, Khoob Poob (Curry Chicken Noodle), my mom favor food. 

My mom is the best mom in the world in a lot of different ways.  As far I can remember she had been take good care of me and all my siblings, the day we born to these day. My mom priority job was to keep us safe and giving love and caring.  My mom always been there for when, no matter when we sick or not, my mom stood by us like the shadow.

My mom had taught me almost everything I know. One thing my mom taught was not to be a lazy person.  As I grown up, she taught me how to cook and clean so that one day I can do all by myself. She always helps me through my toughest time.  My mom gave up her time to walk me through my toughest time.   

My mom is amazing and I just don't thank her enough for everything she done.  For this Mother’s Day, all I can say is I love you, Mom.  Even the delicious food we make today cannot compare to what my mom done for me and my siblings.  To me, my mom is the world greatest hero and the best teacher I could ever have.  I love you mom, Happy Mother’s Day.

What is Life?

Sitting at my desk stared at the tree through the window in my room with the beautiful sun ray, makes me wonder about Life.  Question like what is life….what is important in life….and so on.  To me life is beautiful and the most precious thing on earth.  From nature to human, life are the most beautiful and precious living things.  Think back when we first saw a new born baby, beautiful is the first word appears in our mind.

What is Life is no answer to it.  What we think is what we know about life.  One individual have their own opinions to the meaning of Life.  As we all know this quote, “Life is too short, make it worthwhile”.  To define Life is to understand our needs and our value in life.  Even scientist had hard time to define what is Life but one thing that science had discover is that in every form of Life, its take some source of energy to survive.

It is obvious that Life is hard to define.  Life is a general term of word; in this case definition is varying from one to another.  In a culture or religious belief, Life had spirit and it connected to the spirit word.  But in science, every living thing is cellular.  There just too many meaning and define the word Life.

As I mentioned earlier, in my view, I see Life as the most beautiful thing on earth.   Things that are so beautiful to us become what are precious to us.  So Life is precious and we loved it and will protect it.  This is only my point of view, just how sees and wanted to live life the way I see it best fit.  What is Life, I don’t really know.

Academic Sucess Factor

             When we entered High School, many of us had not decided what we wanted to do after we graduate.   Without knowing what we wanted, we cannot determine the factor that will help us to go beyond high school.  One thing that we will always be remembered is to be success in academic.  The day we learned how to talk, we already are taught by our parents that academic success is the key to our future.   Parents had been a major role or major factor in student academic success.  That is probably one or maybe the only reason why there is parents and teacher conference every school year.

Family support had helps and motivation student to do their best toward academic.  From a family that English is not our native language, it is hard to received help from my parents.  The wisdom and courage of words from my parents is the only support my parents can assist me.  They always compared the different between the life in Thailand and United States.  Back in Thailand, we have to do farming in order to gain food and now education is the key to have a successful life.  Family support is essential to student’s academic success.

To secure the student bright future, parent’s aspect is keep up and follow up their academic success with their teacher.  Many parents used private lesson such as music or dance to discover their kids’ talent.  Self-discipline is another powerful source to be academic success.  As I mentioned earlier, my parents are non-English speaking but they are good and supportive parents.  As I grown up, self-discipline had taught and passed to me from my parents.  With self-discipline, I gained the power to overcome distraction and pace myself to be active with school.  

High School success is the first step to move forward toward Academic Success.  They like the pillar to the family as well as the country in the near future.  Taking care teenagers’ problems and finding solution is a must and top priority to family.  With family support and self-discipline one can success in high school.  Being successful in high school will lead them to be successful in their next journey.

How Movie Affect Our Life

            We watched a movie because we love the actor, actress or sometime we just watch to kill time or because it’s our genre of movie.  Have we ever wondered the good or bad effect on people via movie?  People had their own opinions toward the affected by how the movie or television industry influences their life.  Some used the movie as a motivation or to find their own self but some believed that movie had media that mislead their life or had damaged their lives.

            Through movie and television, we can learn from things that never thought impossible.  For example, we or the scientist believed there is life existed beyond planet Earth.  Who would know how alien looks like or there is really Martian live in the planet Mars.  From watching a movie about aliens, we may gain useful information and knowledge about other life form beside the human and keep our eyes and ears open in case we might encounter by chance.

            While we gained information via movie and television, we still may suffer some important drawback.  Movie or television do get addicted and then we will spend time after times watch a movie or television without realized other important that we had to do.  I love drama series and cannot stop myself until I had finished all the episodes.  To finish the entire series, I had to sacrifice my time for homework and study.  Not only I have to lose my time of study or doing homework, I also shorten my time to sleep.

Through the media in television or movie had provides the pros and cons to our daily life. It is our choice to pick what genre and what we wanted to learn via movie or television.  Just like how the commercial TV convinces us to buy the product because we believe exactly like they believed.  Either way, the main purpose in the movie or television industry is to provide us the entertainment and taking our mind off so we relax and release our stress.  With the rated of the movie, we can judge the movie and either to watch or not, it is our choice.

Competition

Competition…competition…have you ever wonder why we must have to compete?  Either we compete with someone or sometime with our own self.  I felt that doesn’t matter what, competition always stay side by side with us.  Many of us are fear competition because we might lose to other or we not as good as other. Matter of fact, we are competed with ourselves each day.  Everyday we going to our class or school, we challenge ourselves to the next level.  Even playing video game, we sometime play against our highest score.

In fact, competition it’s a great thing to every of us.  Without competition we would never live in a life full adventure.  When we had sets a new standard, we do get recognition from everyone from families to friends and from teachers to students.  Then we inspired our brothers and sisters, they wanted to surpass our standard and be recognized by us.  Through competition, we trained to be smarter, more accelerator and better at what we do.

In reality competition is nothing more than test what we learned.  We went to school and graduate from college with a degree then we apply for job and many will also apply for the same job too.  Our work or career will be our battle ground where we meet people who are think that there is probably other who are way more qualify.

Through competition and pushing ourselves forward, new solution will comes to our ways; it does not end when everyone is beaten.  Competition bring us together not to beat each other but to learn and share individual ideas.  In a competition there is never be a perfect competitor.  We compete to producing the maximum of goods and services and make correction to our mistake.

Controversy of Global Warming

For a while I wanted to write about global warming but somehow I can't really think of anything related to global warming.  I guessed it doesn't really matter if global warming will affect me or not.  To many people global warming is a cause to their daily life.  Living in Wisconsin, the climate is varying from year to year.  After this past winter season, make me wondered is that really cause by global warming. I though supposedly the temperature had been increasing year after year and that why we had less snow for the last couple years.  This year in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Illinois got hit by snow storm really bad compared to other year. Many schools, works, and airports are closed and even the roof of Metro Dome in Minneapolis, MN is collapsed due too much of snow. 

            I believed what I heard or learned is that global warming caused the winter season to be less snow.  The last couple years, I do believe that maybe the rising of climate temperature is affected the snow so that we didn't have that much of snow.  However this past winter, I felt like weekend after weekend is snowing and shoveling snow.  It is funny how small I am and by the time we got done with shoveled snow, my brother were looked for me because I got block by the huge and tall pile of snow.  It's a day of school close but also a day of shoveling snow.

            According to the Wikipedia, the global warming controversy is a variety of disputes regarding the nature, causes, and consequences of global warming.  Many people believed that we, the human have caused the global warming.  I don't really know if that really true or not but I do hear via radio station announced about carpool or taking city bus to go green.  I supposed big city like Milwaukee or Chicago, where there is a lot of people mean a lot of driving car.  Every car out on the street will release the emission or CO2 into the atmosphere and will contribute the climate change.

            Even if it is true that human are the cause of global warming, scientist always believe that where there is a problem, there is a solution to it.  As of today, there are more and more products about being green.  I remember my first computer, I bought, nothing about saving energy or going green.  Now almost every computer from desktop to laptop, there will be symbol like 'energy saving' and light bulbs are being replaced by the new and improvement of saving energy bulb.   For our daily life needs it, we can't prevent global warming but we can change by participate and taking the tips that our great scientists had discovered.
