More to it
I remember growing back up down South. I remember the trees. I remember the wildlife. I remember the food. I remember home. Momma would have me watering the garden. And the bees, flies and insects would attack me. I would try to protect myself with a hood and water quickly. And Momma would say they better not become dry. I'm Matt and I have a little sister Hazey. Hazey was a good looking young girl that liked to discover the world. She was smart and cunning. I could not get anything passed her. She was always listening and thinking. Sometimes I think she wanted to be me. But I am the older one, I am the older brother. And Momma told me to look out for her. I love Hazey but she someitmes become too much to handle. And now its our first day going to school together. Dad was worried and so was Momma because the schools were just integrated. Momma feared somebody might attack Hazey and I. Dad told us to be brave and to be like Dr. King. He said Dr. King wants us to have a good education. And Dr. King loves the children so much that he wants them to play together and be friends with one another. And I said Daddy Dr. King is like Jesus, he's my hero. And Momma and Dad sent us off holding hands to the bus stop. At the bus stop there was no one there but us. And we were afraid because we waited on the curb. Then we saw the neighbor, Mrs. Evers was walking with her two daughters. Mrs. Evers introduced us to the two daughters, Betsie and Belinda. And I introduced Hazey and me. And when Mrs. Evers left she waved at us and she said that she would watch for us from a distance. Betsie said Hay Hay and Matt Matt. And Belinda laughed and they both laughed. And I told them to knock it off because we weren't making fun of them. I was just about to get back at them when Hazey made a cute sound. She was playing with the flowers by the tree and smelling time. She said Matt look I love flowers and nature. And I went over and play with the flowers, I told her their names and what they smell like. I told her that she would learn all about their beauty and attributes in school. Hazey was excited and then I saw the bus, so I hurried up Hazey to come. And she came just in time as Betsie and Belinda got on the bus I first let Hazey go because she was young and she was a future lady. And the bus driver looked mean but she smiled at the cuteness of Hazey and she was nice to Hazey but gave me the eye. I admitted school was tough. I saw right by my sister. And I was her defender. Mom and Dad put me in charge and Hazey was a big responsibility. Betsie and Belinda sat in front as I locked in Hazey's seatbelt. Betsie said that I was babying her and that I should stop. So did Belinda say the same thing and they were making fun of me saying that I think that I am the father. Then they begin to call me Father Matt. I just looked out the window and play with my sister. I love watching her smile and gaze at the outdoor as she was close to the window. Then we got off the bus last, and there were people who were fighting outside. And there were people who were yelling. Hazey and I had to be escorted by the security guard. I hugged Hazey before I turn her over to her teacher. She was happy and scared about Mrs. Dorothy. And Mrs. Dorothy asked my teacher Mrs. Tyson if we can do a combined class. Mrs. Tyson hesitantly agreed. And when Mrs. Dorothy suggested her students go over to Mrs. Tyson class then Mrs. Tyson agreed. And Betsie and Belinda were in my class. And Mrs. Tyson asked me to read and I was nervous but she sat my sister in front of me and she was glaring at me and the book. The other students did not think I could read that well and my sister and I were the two of three Black students. I read aloud and clearly. And Hazey celebrated and I hugged her. Mrs.Tyson cried and Mrs. Dorothy cheered on and they hug all their students. And Mrs. Dorothy's cousin was the guest and she played the guitar, she first played 'This Land is Your Land' then 'Dr. Martin Luther King was a great man'. And Hazey and I never wanted to leave the classroom. And the school felt it was too dangerous for us to take the bus so our parents came. And when they heard everything they took us out to eat and we spent time together being a family. I guess Dr. King's dream is a good dream. And if we loved then we can open each other's hearts.

Tips on how to study effectively
During their preparation, clinical occupants learn endless methods, medical procedures, and systems which they'll later use to save lives. Having the memorable option these abilities can straightforwardly involve life and demise. Considering this, a 2006 examination review took a class of careful occupants figuring out how to stitch supply routes and split them into two gatherings. Each got similar review materials, yet one gathering carried out a little change by they way they concentrated on them. What's more, when tried one month after the fact, this gathering carried out the procedures altogether better than different inhabitants. We'll talk about the key to that gathering's prosperity, alongside two other exceptionally successful review strategies which can be applied both all through the study hall. In any case, to comprehend the reason why these strategies work, we should initially unload how the cerebrum learns and stores data. Let's assume you're attempting to remember the life systems of the heart. At the point when you're acquainted with another idea, the memory is briefly encoded in gatherings of neurons in a mind region called the hippocampus. As you keep on finding out about operations of the heart in class or review its chambers for a test, you reactivate these equivalent neurons. This continued terminating fortifies the associations between the cells, balancing out the memory. Steadily, the information on heart life systems is put away long haul, which includes one more cerebrum region known as the neocortex. How data is moved from present moment to long haul stockpiling is as yet not totally perceived, yet it's remembered to in the middle between concentrate on meetings and maybe most vitally during rest. Here the new information is incorporated with other related ideas you definitely know, for example, how to gauge pulse, or the life systems of different organs. Also, the cycle doesn't end there. Each time you review heart life systems, you reactivate the drawn out memory, which makes it helpless to change. The information can be refreshed, fortified, and reintegrated with different snippets of data. This is where our most memorable review procedure comes in. Testing yourself with cheat sheets and tests drives you to effectively recover information, which refreshes and fortifies the memory. Understudies frequently favor other review techniques, such as rehashing reading material and featuring notes. In any case, these practices can produce a misguided feeling of skill, since the data is directly before you. Testing yourself, notwithstanding, permits you to all the more precisely check what you really know. In any case, imagine a scenario where, while doing this, you can't recollect the responses. Not to stress — committing errors can really further develop learning in the long haul. It's hypothesized that as you think hard for the response, you initiate applicable bits of information. Then, at that point, when the right response is subsequently uncovered, the cerebrum can all the more likely incorporate this data with what you definitely know. Our subsequent method expands on the first. While utilizing cheat sheets to study, blending the deck in with various subjects is ideal. Interleaving, or blending the ideas you center around in a solitary meeting, can prompt preferable maintenance over rehearsing a solitary expertise or subject at a time. One speculation of why this works is that, like testing, burnning through various subjects powers your mind to briefly neglect, then recover data, further fortifying the memory. You may likewise track down associations across the subjects, and better grasp their disparities. Since it has become so obvious how and what to study, our last procedure concerns when. Separating your survey across several days takes into consideration rest and rest between meetings. While "disconnected," the mind is effectively working, putting away and coordinating information in the neocortex. So while packing the night prior to the test might appear to be coherent — all things considered, won't the material be new to you? — the data won't stay close by as long as possible. This takes us back to our clinical occupants. The two gatherings read up the medical procedure for a similar measure of time. However one gathering's preparation was packed in a solitary day, while the other more fruitful gathering's preparation was spread north of about a month. The explanation every one of the three of these review methods work is on the grounds that they're planned considering the cerebrum. They supplement and build up the extraordinary way the cerebrum works, figuring out and putting away the wealth of data it's taken care of a large number of days.
