The book, Glory: The Struggle for Yards are stories gathered together to illustrate the unique cultures, history and values that unite people of all races together. It is so much more than a book of facts and individual’s personal accomplishments. Glory share stories that include powerful messages that can inspire, teach, and influence others to achieve their goals in life. These stories bring facts to life and have the ability to connect the past with the present. We start with diversity and inclusion by respecting, understanding and appreciating each other’s humanities and beliefs and most of all reading to know for your own gratification and personal experiences. These stories promote a positive attitude through football legends hardships, fears and never losing desire for taking care of their families and leaving a legacy for the future generation to understand their challenges, difficulties, misfortune and adversities. We have to remember before writing books; ancestors told stories by cave painting on the wall, as they would blow the paint through hollow bones very similar to today’s airbrushing. Campfires was also a form of storytelling performed around an open fire at night and mostly in the wilderness. We see it in today modern campfires stories with Girls Scouts and Boy Scouts of America and even with good old family reunion barbecue in the front or backyard. Glory is a book of legendary football stories that helps us understand our differences in culture with other peoples so that we can connect and communicate in love and make new friends through story telling.
Deficit thinking is a pseudoscience founded on racial and class bias. It "blames the victim" for school failure instead of examining how schools are structured to prevent poor students and students of color from learning. Dismantling Contemporary Deficit Thinking provides comprehensive critiques and anti-deficit thinking alternatives to this oppressive theory by framing the linkages between prevailing theoretical perspectives and contemporary practices within the complex historical development of deficit thinking. Dismantling Contemporary Deficit Thinking examines the ongoing social construction of deficit thinking in three aspects of current discourse – the genetic pathology model, the culture of poverty model, and the "at-risk" model in which poor students, students of color, and their families are pathologized and marginalized. Richard R. Valencia challenges these three contemporary components of the deficit thinking theory by providing incisive critiques and discussing competing explanations for the pervasive school failure of many students in the nation’s public schools. Valencia also discusses a number of proactive, anti-deficit thinking suggestions from the fields of teacher education, educational leadership, and educational ethnography that are intended to provide a more equitable and democratic schooling for all students.
To escape the troubles of their big city lives, Gisele and Beniah Panganiban decide as many had before them to seek refuge in the wilderness. Against the woman he often referred to as his wifes wishes, Beniah leases an enigmatic log house; that is situated deep in the forests of Manitoba, Canada. For two years, the couple wrestles with angels that seem to be as personal as they are professional. Then, in the middle of the night, they hear a knock on the big, red door. Handcuffed together, they hobble down the sixteen stairs. In the unforgiving winter, a stranger calls out. Ayuda me. My husband has been badly injured.... Por favor, I know youre in there. What follows is a fantastic journey that includes but is no way limited to gunplay, noble fables, pig genitalia, a fair amount of corruption, encieros, a love triangle, Samurai bonds, and of course Chim-Chim the Great Grey Owl. Some of them will learn what theyre good at, what theyre horrible at, what theyre psychotic about. And, at least, one of them is going to be buried out there. So, make yourself at home, mind the carpets, no cigars, and Welcome to Solomons Seal.
Despite his carefree manner, Dashiel Sarmiento’s life had been unremarkable. He divides his free time between watching movies, caring for his emotional support dog, and helping his would-be model girlfriend gain American citizenship.
