A Simple Decision Making decisions in life is like growing a flower. Each and every day it may seem like nothing has changed, but later in the future, every choice one makes will lead to a blooming future. Some decision results little to no effect, while others, leave collateral damage affecting one’s life forever and those around them. Many ordinary decisions can end in regret; on the other hand, constructing a right decision can also leave great memories.

Upon completing A Child Called “It” by Dave Pelzer for a second time, I am completely convinced becoming an educator is my purpose in life. The first time I read this book was in middle school and although the book did stir up a lot of my emotions and was a difficult read, it does not compare to the effect it had on me as I read it for a second time as an older woman. Dave Pelzer wrote a memoir that highlighted the horrific abuse he received from his emotionally unstable, alcoholic mother, all while living with his father, siblings, and attending school. The book expresses the torturous, unpredictable games his mother would play with him. These games took a physical, emotional, and mental toll on Dave’s life and this is all evident through his description of the abuse and his desire to no longer live.
A mother’s love is a force strong enough to drive a woman to drastic measures in order to ensure that her children are raised in better conditions than the mother herself experienced during her own childhood. In Mark Twain’s Pudd’nhead Wilson, the character of Roxanna is a classic example of this statement. Throughout the novel, Roxy seeks to do well for her son, only to find situations are more complicated than she thought them out to be, as well as hurting countless others in her own crusade by blurring the lines of what it means to be good and evil. A victim of societal conventions, Roxanna believes that her deeds are positively impacting the injustice of society, but also fails to see what consequences her actions will hold to the point

I believe I made an affective choice in choosing to teach this lesson using “The Three Snow Bears” by Jan Brett. Throughout the story there were clear events the students could use to help them determine character traits for the four main characters; Mama Bear, Papa Bear, Baby Bear, and Aloo-ki. In particular, the character trait helpful was used by many students to describe Mama Bear’s actions. An additional character trait we discussed was selfish, we said Aloo-ki was selfish because she ate the bears’ food, and used their belongings without asking for permission.
I am not a father so I cannot express the love for a child. “My son the Man” is a short 16-line poem. In the poem, Sharon compares her son to Houdini and explains how he has grown up. Sharon expresses deeply about her son growing up and leaving her and it is hard for her to watch her little boy become a man. I can kind of relate to this because my mom still looks at me as if I am a little boy.

It’s not until I began preschool that I remember my first book, Brown Bear, Brown Bear What Do you See? was read to me. What I remember about this book is that I liked it because not only was my first book but because it had different animals and colors. I remember sitting on the colorful carpet with my whole class as the teacher began to read it to us and soon we all eventually read it together.
