Rachel Reviews: Where or When by Anita Shreve
I read Anita Shreve now with a bittersweet-ness born of the knowledge that there is only a finite amount of her books left to read and that I know that it will be a powerful read that I will thoroughly enjoy. And such was the case with Where or When and as always, the anticipation of more, like the pile of her unread novels, is diminished on its completion.

Why I Started Reviewing Books
“A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies, said Jojen. The man who never reads lives only one.” George R.R. Martin Hey there, fellow book lovers! Have you ever lost yourself in a good book and felt completely absorbed by the story, characters, and message? Me too! That’s why I love reviewing books. It’s a way to remember why I loved a particular book and share that enjoyment with others.

Few tips on how to study effectively
During their training, medical residents learn countless techniques, surgeries, and procedures which they’ll later use to save lives. Being able to remember these skills can quite literally be a matter of life and death. With this in mind, a 2006 research study took a class of surgical residents who were learning to suture arteries and split the class into two groups. Each received the same study materials, but one group implemented a small change in how they studied them. And when tested one month later, this group performed the surgeries significantly better than the other residents.

parents support and determination of the students bring success
There's a student named John who's not doing well in school. The principal and the teacher both think he's not cut out for education, and they've suggested that he should be withdrawn from school. So John's mother is faced with a difficult decision. Should she listen to the principal and the teacher and withdraw her son from school, or should she give him another chance to succeed? What do you think she should do? So, John's mother is really going all-in on his education! It sounds like she's determined to help him succeed, even if he's not going to school anymore. As John immersed himself in books, he began to learn and grow. Day by day, his knowledge expanded, and he began to ask questions about the world around him. He wanted to know how things worked, and he wanted to understand everything from the smallest insect to the largest galaxy. His curiosity was insatiable. Eventually, his mother realized that John had a true gift for learning, and she began to wonder if withdrawing him from school was the right decision after all. Yes, John's mother became his personal teacher. She taught him about math, science, history, and more. But she also made sure to teach him about life and how to be a good person. She instilled in him a sense of curiosity, compassion, and wonder. As John grew, he became more and more like a sponge, absorbing everything his mother taught him. And as his knowledge grew, so did his confidence. On one great day, after John returd back to school, it was so good his teacher ask the whole class a question but nobody knew the answer, immediately, John raised up his hand and the teacher said..... "John, please put down your hand" the teacher said sternly. But John remained defiant. He knew the answer to the question, and he wasn't going to be silenced. The teacher grew more and more frustrated as John continued to raise his hand. Finally, she relented and said, "Okay, John, you can answer the question. But if you're wrong, I'll have to give you detention." John stood up and said, "The rock you're referring to is a meteorite, and it's made of iron and nickel." The teacher was stunned. John?" the teacher asked. John responded, "I've been reading a lot about space and astronomy, and I've learned a lot about different types of rocks and minerals. I know that a meteorite is a space rock that falls to Earth from space." The teacher was impressed by John's knowledge, and she decided to give him a special assignment. "John, I'd like you to do some research on meteorites and give a presentation to the class next week." John's eyes lit up with excitement. Years later, John had become one of the most renowned neurosurgeons in the world. He was known for his brilliant mind and his ability to perform complex surgeries with ease. But he never forgot his humble beginnings, and he always remembered the teacher who had believed in him and given him a chance to shine. He often said, "It all started with a question about a rock." And he was grateful for the opportunities that had come his way, all because he had been willing to raise his hand and share his knowledge. There are a few key takeaways from John's story that I think are important to consider. First, it's important to remember that everyone learns differently. Just because someone isn't doing well in school doesn't mean they're not capable of success. Sometimes, all it takes is a little extra support and encouragement. Second, it's important to give students a chance to shine, even if they're struggling in other areas. John's story shows how one question can change the course of someone's life. Also, we should never underestimate the power of knowledge and learning. Also, to our parents, please we have a great role to play in the career Of our children, let put things together to support them with fill force, Support them emotionally and sit them down to read. Everything is not all about money money. If we just focus on spending money alone, the mighty be vanity. So let support them in other aspects. And to the students, let try and yield to correction, and also let try and incocate the Abit of reading. For you to succeed...... Don't call school a scam please ..... Please if you really gain from this story drop what you've learned so far in the comments section And please share this story to your friends and family and also your children if you are not presently together.
