Download or read book A Hoosier s Journey written by Donald J. Almquist and published by Archway Publishing. This book was released on 2024-04-09 with total page 479 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At age 17, I went home from work and told my mother that I had received an appointment to study engineering at GMI. She said, “I didn’t know you wanted to be an engineer.” I said, “I do today!” I didn’t even know where GMI was located. On October 1, 1951, I entered Flint, Michigan to start my education with General Motors Institute. When Dad died, Mother was not employed. She said we were all going to stay together. The state would separate us if we couldn’t survive without Dad. I can still see her taking a knife and putting a slit in the top of that baking powder can, and we all contributed to it. We all put whatever we could earn in that can. During Mother’s last year, I would go over to see her, and she always wanted me to take something home. When I was checking her food supply, I found the baking powder can. I told her I would like to have it. She said there were a number of times she would look into it and see a dime, which meant she would have to be creative for supper. We never went hungry. She was one of my two most admired ladies. I married the other one. In March 1990, I flew into Moscow. All of the flights from out of the country came into Moscow in those days. After we landed, the intercom came on and asked for me. I remember this scared me. I wondered what was wrong. When I arrived in Tolyatti, two of my engineers met me and said, “Lets take a walk.” I thought this was strange since it was raining. They said you couldn’t talk in the rooms; they were bugged. They told about a session where they were planning the next phase of their work. The next morning the Russian engineers acted as if they had been in the meeting. Don Almquist has traveled the world doing business for GM. In this memoir starts with life on a small farm in Indiana, continues through his education and career at both Delco Remy and Delco Electronics Corporation. He talks of his personal life and career with stories from all over the world. He shares his beliefs on management and leadership and reflects on the last 90 years.

Sibert Honor Book A 2021 YALSA Award for Excellence in Nonfiction for Young Adults Finalist A 2021 Orbis Pictus Honor Book A unique account of the amazing Thai cave rescue told in a heart-racing, you-are-there style that blends suspense, science, and cultural insight. On June 23, 2018, twelve young players of the Wild Boars soccer team and their coach enter a cave in northern Thailand seeking an afternoon’s adventure. But when they turn to leave, rising floodwaters block their path out. The boys are trapped! Before long, news of the missing team spreads, launching a seventeen-day rescue operation involving thousands of rescuers from around the globe. As the world sits vigil, people begin to wonder: how long can a group of ordinary kids survive in complete darkness, with no food or clean water? Luckily, the Wild Boars are a very extraordinary "ordinary" group. Combining firsthand interviews of rescue workers with in-depth science and details of the region's culture and religion, author Christina Soontornvat—who was visiting family in Northern Thailand when the Wild Boars went missing—masterfully shows how both the complex engineering operation above ground and the mental struggles of the thirteen young people below proved critical in the life-or-death mission. Meticulously researched and generously illustrated with photographs, this page-turner includes an author’s note describing her experience meeting the team, detailed source notes, and a bibliography to fully immerse readers in the most ambitious cave rescue in history.

Download or read book Stop Apologising and Start Living A Journey to Self Acceptance written by Gaurav Garg and published by Gaurav Garg. This book was released on 2024-08-10 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Well, hello there, brave soul. Fancy meeting you here, in the pages of a book about living unapologetically. I'm guessing you, like me, have spent far too much of your life saying "sorry" for things that don't warrant an apology. Things like existing, having opinions, or *gasp* taking up space in this vast, crazy world of ours. Let me tell you a secret: I never meant to write this book. In fact, I almost apologized to my publisher for pitching it. Ironic, isn't it? But here's the thing – that moment, that almost-apology, was the very reason I knew this book needed to exist. You see, I'm a reformed apologizer. A recovered sorry-aholic, if you will. I used to apologize for everything – for being too tall, for being too ambitious, for wanting more out of life than what was handed to me. I even apologized to a chair once when I bumped into it. (Yes, really. No, the chair didn't accept my apology. Rude.) But one day, something snapped. Maybe it was the time I apologized for getting promoted, or when I said sorry for winning an award. Whatever it was, I realized I was diminishing my own light, shrinking myself to make others comfortable. And so began my journey towards unapologetic living. It wasn't easy. There were stumbles, backslides, and moments where I found myself apologizing for not apologizing. But slowly, surely, I began to stand tall (all 5'11" of me), to speak my mind, and to live life on my own terms. This book is the culmination of that journey. It's part self-help guide, part personal narrative, and part kick in the pants for anyone who's ever felt they needed permission to be themselves. Fair warning: this isn't your typical self-help book. You won't find any promises of overnight transformation or secret formulas for success. What you will find is honesty, humor, and a healthy dose of tough love. Oh, and probably a few typos – because I refuse to apologize for being imperfectly human. In these pages, we'll explore why we apologize so damn much, how to stop, and what life looks like on the other side of "sorry". We'll laugh (mostly at my expense), we might cry (no judgment), and we'll definitely challenge some deeply ingrained beliefs about our place in the world. So, if you're ready to ditch the unnecessary apologies, to stand in your power, and to live life unapologetically, then buckle up, buttercup. It's going to be one hell of a ride. And remember: you have nothing to apologize for.

Download or read book Teacher Reflections on Transitioning From K 12 to Higher Education Classrooms written by Broemmel, Amy D. and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2022-04-15 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Education is a field in which reflective practice is imperative for teacher and student success and for maintaining the desire to remain in the profession. During times of uncertainty, particularly as teachers faced the dual pandemics of social injustice and the COVID-19 pandemic over the past year, they have felt demoralized and powerless. As a result, burnout among educators is becoming increasingly prevalent. It is crucial for teachers to hear reflections of others’ experiences to remind them that they are not alone in their work, provide opportunities for them to find connections with fellow educators, and encourage them to engage in reflective practices of their own. Teacher Reflections on Transitioning From K-12 to Higher Education Classrooms provides a collection of reflections from educators on their varied experiences within education and how and why they have pursued a place in academia. This book speaks to the humanistic side of academia by acknowledging the multiple passions, professions, and pathways that led each of the authors to academia. It is unique in that it is laced with the lived realities of the human side of academia from a shared stories perspective. Covering topics such as lifelong learners and identity shifts, this major reference work is ideal for academicians, researchers, scholars, practitioners, principals, administrators, educators, and students.
