    In 1914 the Panama Canal was fully built and brought happiness to the world. But in 1880, the French tried to make a canal so the pacific and the atlantic oceans would meat. So how they did that was they just started to dig. They were moving the dirt and rocks on carts so they can take the rubble away from the construction. After a while it just became the same thing everyday, digging, taking loads away, and then just digging again.…

I feel that I could work on most of the goals that I want to accomplish, and especially, I think I could work on improving my communication skills. Also, I think one of my proudest accomplishment to date is practicing introduction of child life services at pediatric floor, PICU, and surgery center.

I also could practice preparation and procedural support mainly at surgery unit, and I also practiced charting under the supervision of child life specialists.…

    Latin America was a region that interested me the most, probably because it is the only region I have been to in person when I went on vacation to Mexico. My first article is about the Panama Canal in Central America, “Panama Canal’s Big Moment.” On June 26, 2016, there was an article in the Chicago Tribune about the Panama Canal being expanded to allow new trade opportunities. The original canal was opened for traffic in 1914, and has since then been a busy and vital pathway for ships from all over the world. At the time of our textbook’s publication in 2014, our book, Essentials of World Regional Geography, said this project was currently in progress and called “post-Panamax.” This was needed because there are many ships…

    As children, it was engraved into our minds that Christopher Columbus discovered the Americas. In fact, we were forced to learn about his voyages with rhymes to help us remember the “facts” of his “discovery”. It seems, however, that while children of the Caribbean were chanting, “Columbus sailed the ocean blue in 1492”, the entire world was forgetting that the Caribbean was “discovered” centuries before the Santa Maria hit the shores of Bahamas, by the Amerindians. Now that we are more educated on the truth of Columbus’ voyages, we, understandably, start to search for answers about the true parents of our people and the question “Are the Kalinago and Taíno alive and well today?” is commonly asked. The answer to this is quite oblique and can…
