Marshall Pickel American history is taught in high schools all over the country. It is held as a core curriculum for every American student because of the importance found in teaching our youth of our “perfect nation” and our “perfect past”. However‚ contrary to popular belief‚ James W. Loewen‚ author of Lies My Teacher Told Me‚ has found American history to be taught with a completely nationalistic approach.

My mandala represents everything in my life that I find important. Above all‚ I would consider individuality to be the most important. I represented this by placing a snowflake in the core of my mandala; this makes sense‚ because no two snowflakes are alike. Being unique is important to me‚ because I strongly believe in being true to yourself. The core of my mandala correlates with everything else‚ because all the symbols surrounding the center make up the person I am today. Another symbol shown

It brings me joy to read old letter between my great grandma and Grandpa‚ or read the beautiful penmanship of the side notes that my ancestors had written in our family bible. Sadly today’s generation may never get to share this memory or experience this sentimental feeling‚ because cursive is being taken out of today’s curriculum

She is not just your mother‚ she is the nurturer‚ doctor‚ nurse‚ teacher‚ cab driver‚ cook‚ house keeper‚ homework helper‚ clothing washer‚ cheerleader‚ disciplinarian‚ just too many to type at this moment. We don’t realize just how important our mothers are. Mothers do and do and ask for nothing in return‚ we cry along with you when you are hurting‚ and will fight the biggest thing around defending you. You’re never “TOO OLD” to be mommy’s baby. There is
