Learning Challenge: Sleep

For my Learning Challenge this week I read the article titled "Why Sleeping May Be More Important than Studying" and I was kind of shocked about the title at first because as a college student, studying is vital and if you don't study then you will fail. There are a lot of students that turn to alternate methods to balance sleeping and studying but in this article i found out some information that i would take into consideration the next time i am deciding whether or not to do an all nighter. The article confirmed that i already knew was that a person needs 6 to 8 hours of sleep so that the brain can be rejuvenated and can experience REM.  One thing i didn't know was that you can learn new languages after experiencing a good amount of sleep because the article mentioned that researchers in NY conducted a study and found that sleep can boost language acquisition skills in young children so in the future i would be curious to try this whenever i have children to see if this is true or not.

We also talked about wages and earnings between men and women regarding race.             My biggest accomplishment from last year was that i was able to pass my classes because i was in 3 Economic electives for my major and an MIS class so juggling the...

Week 12 Story: The Tale of O'Reilly

Image
There once was a man named O'Reilly who lived in the town of Apollonia with his wife, Meredith. They were living in the poorest section of the town and had spent days and nights wishing that money would fall into their lap. One morning before going to work, O'Reilly had awakened to the sound of a thud on the front door. O'Reilly then slid out of bed to see who or what has arrived on his porch and found an eviction notice before he could open the locks on the door. Meredith follows behind him asking O'Reilly what he is holding and he tells her about them needing to come up with money within a certain amount of days otherwise they will be put on the streets. "What are we going to do? It is almost time for winter and we cannot be without a place to stay," said Meredith. "I know, I know my dear. Hopefully, Mr. O'Boyle will be generous enough to grant me a raise for my birthday since I have been helping him around the shop for quite a spell," said...
