    I suppose if one were to look at the etymology of the word “team”‚ one would arrive at its proto-Germanic derivation‚ Taumaz‚ which signifies the act of pulling or to draw together. These are words that illustrate cohesion. A team consists of a collection of individuals put together to form or seek out a common purpose as a whole.

    infinitely lasting influence on the wards. I really believe in the saying that teachers make the destinies of the children they teach and they do not know where‚ if at all‚ the influence of a teacher stops. This is because a teacher is in close contact with children when they are at a very impressionable age. This is why a teacher acquires the status akin to the parents as‚ these childhood contacts are the most far reaching and mostly even permanent.

    The Importance of O’Connor Although she lived a relatively short life saddled with illness‚ Flannery O’Connor was still widely renowned for her literary prowess.
