I would like to begin by pointing out that the inspiration for this in-depth look at the platypus was inspired by the blogs linked above.
Not everyone realizes his or her calling in life at a young age. For some of us, it takes years to finally recognize the path we should take in life. Unfortunately for me, it took a family tragedy to finally reveal my true calling in life.
I received the dreaded phone call on Monday, the one I was hoping I would not get this time, but I guess it was inevitable. The temp service I have been working with informed me that Friday will be my last day. The project is over, leaving me, once again, terrified wondering if I am going to be able to keep a roof over my head and food in my belly.
On Friday I had my interview for acceptance to the Masters of Social Work program. I was completely caught off guard by a couple of the questions I was asked during this interview and to be honest, I was not quite sure how I was supposed to respond.
The first question was, "How would you respond to a client who was of a different culture."
Do video sharing sites like You Tube encourage violence and crime? To what extremes would one go to earn themselves a few minutes of fame?
With the importance of a college education, parents have been trying to prepare their children early by improving their intelligence levels before they even have the ability to walk. Parents want nothing more than to have healthy, happy, and successful children. So now we not only have “get rich quick” schemes for adults, we now have “get smart quick” videos for babies.
In a previous blog, I posted that I do not understand statistics in the least. After studying to the point of insanity, I now see statistics in an entirely new way. I can now read percentages and question where these numbers came from. Are they a true representative sample of the population? How big was their sample size? What kinds of bias are involved with the results?
As children grow, their minds and their understanding of the world grow as well. Those who study juvenile fire setting behaviors believe that a correlation exists between the age of a fire starter and the likelihood that future fires will be set by the child.
