While working for the funeral home we used these type of equations on a very regular basis. Not only did we use it during the process of embalming‚ but during cremations as well. We had to figure body weight to how long a burn must be‚ as well as correct temperature and time. You would not believe how vital this information is. I know it sounds disturbing at times‚ and many people don’t want to think about it. The reality is that these are the types of jobs that keep our society going. I have also

A larger change in which I was recently involved was changing which grade I teach. Since I began at my school‚ I have taught ninth grade (though as I mention above‚ it is not the norm to continue teaching the same grade). As of the beginning of April‚ I no longer teach ninth grade and instead am now teaching seventh grade. As the RTC chart shows I’m not very resistant to change. Although teaching ninth grade had become my routine‚ I mildly welcomed the change. There are a few reasons why I didn’t
