Enthusiasm
Enthusiasm is created by the teacher or professor with their will to create a better learning environment within the classroom for every and all students. Enthusiasm isn't just brought upon by having the teacher show up to class and want to get it over with. Enthusiasm is created by the will of the teacher to want the students to strive and do their best in whatever class they are taking. It is the teachers job to make the students want to learn and want to be there. With the teachers enthusiasm that will create students that are eager to learn and do well in school, and with the enthusiasm of the students they will want to strive to do there best and it will raise the level of energy in the classroom creating an environment that students want to be apart of.
Revision of Love or Not To Love
After reading several of my fellow class mates blog my opinion has not been impacted at all. Each of them made a clear point in how they felt about love and if you could choose who you loved. They all had different points of views and different perspectives on the topics yet none of them impacted my final thoughts about love. As I explained in my previous post love is an emotion that comes naturally to all persons it is a common feeling like being happy or sad. It's a feeling about being in love. Whether you are in love with a man a women your guinea pig or food love it is the same emotion of love. You cant choose not to love someone or something everyone has something they love in their life. People items or persons whom they love will vary and change depending on their personality or their character. Though looking at peoples blogs it gave me a different perspective on their thoughts about love and how they feel about it.

Love or Not Love
Love is something that your feel and it can also be shown through a variety of different ways and through gestures. Love is not something that you choose, it is something that is brought upon you. You cannot choose the person that you love or the food that you love. Your brain and heart choose for you. You do not get to deside the one that you love, that is up to your heart and your mind. And when that person feels the same way towards you as you do to them then you have met your soul mate. You can choose to be alone and never marry in life but you can't choose not to love. Everyone feels some emotion of love towards a mate or towards their parents or siblings. Love is an emotion that everyone has and feels at one point or another in their life.

None is Enough
None is Enough
by Laura Scott is about women who decide that their lives are perfect the
way they are and see no need to have children.
These women are happy individuals so have husbands and some do not. Up until roughly then 21st century
it was common for women to have a large amount of children. Even today it is still common in some religions
or family traditions. Back in the 1900’s ‘motherhood wasn't seen as an option, it’s
more a given’. Meaning that people didn't think not to have kids every women
around them had a family and kids, it almost wasn't an option not to have
children. Some teenage girls know they don’t
want any children of their own. Laura
Scott has made that decision by age 14, she was married just with no kids. Scott waited for a time that she felt was
right to have kids but that time never came and she explained that she “loved
her life the way it was.” In today’s
society we almost never ask “Why do you have children?” the more common
question would be “Why don’t you have children?” In the upcoming years we will see a decrease
in women wanting to have children. More
women are deciding that there life is fine without a child and would rather be
pursuing their dream job rather worrying about crying little babies. Oprah Winfrey explains that “she has none-
not one regret about not having children- because she believes that is the way
it is suppose to be.” Dolly Parton said “my songs are like my children-I expect
them to support me when I’m old”. Dolly brings
up a important point about having children and them taking care of you when you
are old. She describes her songs as kids
and how they will help her get though her older years with the help of nurses. For some people they rely on the help and
support of their children. Laura Scott
described how she left about children and she added other woman’s insight on
they feel about having children and changing their whole lives. She says in the last paragraph of the
editorial that the toughest years for a woman are her late 30’s and going into
her early 40’s. She described it as “going
solo” in her life. This is the point in her life when she is alone and usually around
this time mothers have teenagers and are adjusting to their everyday needs. Laura Scott shows the perspective of women
who are completely satisfied with their lives and feel as if they do not need
any children to help the be happy. More
and more women are starting to feel as if having children won’t make them any
happier. They are breaking away from tradition
of having large families and many kids.
