Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Roads We Traveled begins with the chronological journeys that families took in a legendary Latino barrio. It is an idyllic locale that for one brief historical moment brought meaning and even glamorous ambience to the people involved in its story. The story is burrowed in a location with high idealsSan Felipe High School, which resides in a small town in Texas. It was a place bursting with excitement, purpose, and culture, where students from an impoverished community came together to celebrate learning and wisdom, which was inspired by outstanding teachers. The narrative illustrates the various social and environmental barriers students were able to overcome. Because of this, students found a silver lining to their clouds. This silver lining brilliantly outlines where they are today, fifty-five years later, after they went out into society to become architects of their new communities. This book will resonate to Hispanic and other Latino students who have been encouraged and challenged to stay in school, graduate, and pursue higher education. It will also be compelling to all educators who have struggled to find ways to inspire students to believe that education is indeed a stairway to success. Even though The Roads We Traveled is a success story of children who grew up in poverty in a Texas barrio, it is ultimately a universal story about family, friendships, success, failures, disappointments, and setbacks. Significantly, the story is definitely about the powerful importance of superior teachers who are on the frontline to inspire their students to pursue their dreams to the very end.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Roads We Travel is a very personal collection of poems which serve to illustrate the small moments in life which are seemingly insignificant but which can hold so much meaning, poignancy and sentiment. Each poem offers a voyeuristic peep into a private microcosm created by memory and reflection. In her gentle scrutiny of human nature, Diane Valerie Burgess explores joy, sadness, fallibility, loss – the spectrum of human emotion mirrored in nature, in the transcendent, in ourselves. Burgess' poems are both nostalgic and urgently relevant, addressing past experiences and exploring contemporary subjects. Sometimes humorous, sometimes bittersweet, sometimes a brave but tender contemplation of grief and fear, each subject is handled with care and beautifully illustrated with words.

Download or read book Along These Roads We Travel written by Joann Rita Vega and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2021-09-09 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Along These Roads We Travel, and each one of us walks on a different path towards learning, suffering, and happiness. . . These roads unite and confound themselves as we advance through life. Our job as a people is to enjoy and assist those, who in one form or another, have entered our road, without losing sight of our own and destination. This book is a multicultural and intimate overview of humanity’s intrinsically existential struggles and expectations today, as well as of our responsibilities toward each other and our planet. These words are inner reflections that include a marked observation of the inequalities and suffering present on this level of life manifestation, and for which we must claim responsibility. Through inner contemplation of our happy moments and devotion to a higher energy, we are able to find the interconnection that Carl Jung referred to as Synchronicity, which, hopefully, will bring us to the discovery of our true Identities and possibilities as human race – capable for caring for and accepting each other.

Download or read book The Road We Traveled written by Uchendu Precious Onuoha and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2013-03-11 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The road to success, prosperity and happiness is not a closed door to anyone neither is it an exclusivity for a privileged few. Whether it is the individual, tribe, nation or race, we are only victims of our birth circumstances if we choose to be. The Road We Traveled is the story of Uchendu, a typical African child narrating the circumstances of birth in his native African village, along with the family heritage, traditions and religion. It delves into the travails to overcome imposing hardships and obstacles caused by a lack of the basic amenities, such as clean water, electricity, shelter, food, clothing, transportation networks, schools, and the healthcare services that developed countries take for granted. The difficulties encountered motivated Uchendu to strive to make the world a better place for him and others to live and this personal experience summarizes the struggle of not only his tribe, nation and continent, but also of the entire human race that have had to overcome these hindrances and challenges that have been there from the beginning of time. Uchendu offers a retrospective of his experiences in Africa, with regards to the struggles, pains, failures and successes experienced in living abroad in Europe. In the Road We Traveled, he shares his experience from his African past to his European present and strikes a balance between his past in Africa, and his present life in Europe and future aspirations he knows will happen in time.

Download or read book The Road written by Cormac McCarthy and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2007-03-20 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WINNER OF THE PULITZER PRIZE • NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A searing, post-apocalyptic novel about a father and son's fight to survive, this "tale of survival and the miracle of goodness only adds to McCarthy's stature as a living master. It's gripping, frightening and, ultimately, beautiful" (San Francisco Chronicle). • From the bestselling author of The Passenger A father and his son walk alone through burned America. Nothing moves in the ravaged landscape save the ash on the wind. It is cold enough to crack stones, and when the snow falls it is gray. The sky is dark. Their destination is the coast, although they don't know what, if anything, awaits them there. They have nothing; just a pistol to defend themselves against the lawless bands that stalk the road, the clothes they are wearing, a cart of scavenged food—and each other. The Road is the profoundly moving story of a journey. It boldly imagines a future in which no hope remains, but in which the father and his son, "each the other's world entire," are sustained by love. Awesome in the totality of its vision, it is an unflinching meditation on the worst and the best that we are capable of: ultimate destructiveness, desperate tenacity, and the tenderness that keeps two people alive in the face of total devastation. Look for Cormac McCarthy's latest bestselling novels, The Passenger and Stella Maris.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Roads We Have Traveled, Volume 2, Richard L. White collects his travel writings beginning with Kerstin’s and his trip to Mexico in April 2009 and concluding with a family vacation in Boulder, Colorado in December 2019 at the very end of the decade. While the coronavirus pandemic brought a sudden halt to the Whites’ travels, it was the perfect time to pause, reflect, and bring this collection together. Volume 2 complements the first volume, published in 2009 and covering nearly four decades of travel (1970-2008). The 44 travelogues in Volume 2 include Richard’s recollections and observations of visits to a number of foreign countries and states, almost always in the company of Kerstin. While she primarily documents their travels through photography, Richard is always capturing an experience, a moment, an image, or a feeling through the written word. This is also the story of the personal growth of Richard, Kerstin, and their children Janine, Lisa, and Windy, as they complete their graduate and undergraduate degrees and forge new lives and new purposes in the broad field of education in New York, Miami, Chicago, San Francisco, and London. Throughout the book, Richard demonstrates his love of travel, writing, observation, history, culture, and memory, passions that he shares with Kerstin and has passed on to his children.

Download or read book When the War Ends the Road We Are Traveling 1914 1942 written by Stuart Chase and published by . This book was released on 2015-11-01 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stuart Chase (1888-1985) was an Economics graduate from MIT, and this was one of his many publications on the topic of socialism and Economics. The revival in interest in the book came after it was linked, by Glenn Beck, to a Barack Obama 2012 campaign video called "The Road We've Traveled." Beck made several links between Obama's presidential goals and the themes in Chase's book: strong centralized government, Control of banking, credit and security exchanges, Underwriting of food, housing and medical care by the government, and Use of deficit spending to finance under writings among others. Another interesting literary tie in about the author was that early in his career he took a job with the Food Administration of the FTC with his fellow MIT classmates Walter Lippman, John Reed and T.S. Eliot. One of the cases Chase investigated at this post was corruption of the meatpacking industry with none other than Upton Sinclair. In 1942, Stuart Chase, in this book "The Road We Are Traveling" spelled out the system of planning the Fabian Socialists had in mind.

Book excerpt: Enter a simpler way of living by unhurrying your heart, embracing the relaxed rhythms of nature, and discovering the meaningful gift of growing slow. We long to make a break from the fast pace of life, but if we're honest, we're afraid of what we'll miss if we do. Yet when going big and hustling hard leaves us stressed, empty, and out of sorts, perhaps this can be our cue to step into a far more satisfying, sustainable pace. In this crafted, inspiring read, beloved author Jennifer Dukes Lee offers a path to unhurried living by returning to the rhythm of the land and learning the ancient art of Growing Slow. Jennifer was once at breaking point herself, and tells her story of rude awakening to the ways her chosen lifestyle of running hard, scaling fast, and the neverending chase for results was taking a toll on her body, heart, and soul. But when she finally gave herself permission to believe it takes time to grow good things, she found a new kind of freedom. With eloquent truths and vivid storytelling, Jennifer reflects on the lessons she learned from living on her fifth-generation family farm and the insights she gathered from the purposeful yet never rushed life of Christ. Growing Slow charts a path out of the pressures of bigger, harder, faster, and into a more rooted way of living where the growth of good things is deep and lasting. Following the rhythms of the natural growing season, Growing Slow will help you: Find the true relief that comes when you stop running and start resting in Jesus Learn practices for unhurrying your heart and mind every day Let go of the pressure and embrace the small, good things already bearing fruit in your life And engage slow growth through reflection prompts and simple application steps
