Theriocentricity-My definition
Theriocentricity is a term that means to me a way to bring all theories on several topics and subjects to become a concentric whole. Like when learning how to teach you are also learning some very basic counseling skills in making whomever to improve behaviors and still learning basic skills socially and academically. Seeing how the relationships of these two professions are similar as well as different. Remember an old science experiment when you drop a rock in the water and the waves as concentric circles get bigger and bigger we are learning that theories help us to understand ideas.

Your mission if you choose to accept it.....
Your mission if you choose to accept it is to educate the masses the best way you know how. It depends on who you teach will it pay to teach the young ones, the middle ones or the higher-ups. You must decide the lessons that you want to teach and share. Your mission will entail working with others in a cooperative way even though it may seem impossible a lot of the time. You must succeed in this mission for the world will depend on it, and if you do not succeed there will be repercussions. Go your mission starts.

Juneteenth. Content Warning.
To me this is like Independence Day for people of color, and I do not mean to be racist. If I was around during the Civil War, I believe I would have been an abolitionist. Slavery was a bad idea, and no body should be enslaved to do others work no matter what kind of work. I know there were some White plantation owners (masters) that were good to their slaves, and they should be remembered even though slavery was an idea that they thought was right and yet wrong. Here is an acrostic that I think kind of explains 'Juneteenth'.

Come Sunday Morning
Sunday morning and another day to say that 'I am here, and I am loved." Sundays are a day of reflection, but to be honest it's also day to catch up or to even get ahead in some other 'work' that one must feel must be done. It is a day to remember some basic rules of living this life that the creator has seen to give us to do with what we please with it, but do we always make the right decisions for ourselves and/or others that happen to be around us and to be truthful I try.

Memorial Day
So, another Memorial Day is upon us this month of May. It seems that we all seem to have fun on this first summer holiday. There are so many of us who plan some sort of family gathering that could mean barbecues of many kinds of picnic foods from the common hamburgers and hot dogs and potato salad and whatever seems to be of interest to share. There may be some who drink, but I hope they do wisely for this is a day to remember the fallen who gave their all to this country we love and live for.

Other job
Just to let my Vocal friends know there will be times that I will be away from sharing insights on your works and only one or two short writings till I finish a transcription project of recipes. The reason is that I will be working at my transcription typing job. I will catch up on reading and leaving insights and hopefully I will find out shortly what I did and will be able to comment as well on your works. Still waiting for a reply to the message I sent to the higherups. Hope I find out soon what happened.

What would you write?
If you were the teacher in this classroom, what would you be teaching? This seems to be a classroom in a poor nation, and if I were teaching, I believe that I would be teaching a Basic English as a second language course for various students that could be interested in moving to the United States of need to learn English for a new position of some kind. On the blackboard behind the desk, I would probably write on the board with words of introduction and pronunciation keys and do some oral exercises using those words as a first lesson.
