Na-Ima-Sthae at Home

We last left off with a new Queen in power, Jezzabelle. Kat and the King have been banished, and darkness has swept over the kingdom. Though the king gave up his throne without any hesitation, you don’t really think he would go down with out a fight? As Jezzabelle watched the king and Kat walk into the forest, hand in hand, her heart grew cold. For years she had watched the king adore his daughter, but she never intended her plan to fail. If she wasn’t going to be able to get her happy ending, no one else could either. Jezzabelle’s eyes had flames of revenge burning in them while she yelled: “GUARD.” Immediately the door flew open and a guard responded: “Jezzabelle, how can we be of service?” With a slight smirk Jezzabelle said, “Please, call me Queen Jezz. And as your queen, I demand you to find the king and bring him to me. The king has abandoned his bride and also his kingdom, and for that he must be punished. As for the princess, Kat, bring me her heart. Those two must s...

DESKERCISE!!!!! This assignment was so fun. I find myself sitting at my desk a lot, or even in class sometimes and in need of a good stretch but have no idea how to do it. I read the Deskercise: 17 Exercises You Can Do At or Near Your Desk  and found a couple of stretches that interest me. I can't wait to try them out this week. 1) Bruxism Exercise. I like this one because I've found my job popping and locking a little bit lately. When reading the article I tempted out the deskercise for a few seconds and instantly felt relief in my jaw. 2) Windmills. I typically find relief through arm stretches when I'm sitting, but I feel as if it only relieves my desire to move for as short amount of time. I think that physically swinging my arms around will give me some of the same relief, but also be a longer fix to my desire to fidget and not be confined to a desk all day. 3) the last tip the article gives to just add movement to my day will probably be an easy one. Sitting ki...

When it comes to growth mindset I think that it requires these four things I have listed above. A teacher should recognize each student as an individual, instead of as a whole. Each student learns differently and has different strengths and weaknesses. Before teaching a student something a teacher must recognize how the student best learns and what he/she struggles with. From there teachers should move to encouragement instead of criticism. It's so easy to put a terrible grade on the paper and leave out the efforts that were put into an assignment or test, but before you can correct what is wrong it is best to point out what is right. From there we move to adapt. If a teacher has already recognized how a student best learns, it is important they adapt to their learning style. If a teacher wishes to have growth mindset in the class, they must be willing to meet each student where they are at individually. Lastly, once the first three things happen a student is able to lea...

At the beginning of the semester, I was not familiar with the calendar features! India Epics is pretty much the only class that has all of the assignments on the calendar, but I did discover that you can subscribe the canvas calendar to your iCalendar... GAME CHANGER. The organized nerd in me loves this feature the most, its so convenient. Now canvas tells me when assignments are due, my phone lights up when assignments are due, and my computers pulls up notifications also! There is no excuse to miss any assignments!

The Lion In Bad Company : The theme of this story is one that I live my everyday life by. Bad company produces bad morals. I think it would be fairly easy to create a fairy tale from this Jataka. It could be my first story told about a prince instead of a princess. A prideful young prince can receive bad advice from someone he think she can trust. The king can try to warn him that the idea is not good, but the prince lets his pride take control and follows through with his bad idea any way. Making the wrong choice will seem promising for a short while, but then when trouble comes knocking the "Friend" disappears, leaving the prince to pick up the pieces. Beauty and Brownie : This story has a theme of paying close attention when wise people give instruction. I can't think of a better character to miss directions than a princess who think she knows everything. The Jatakas make it a little harder to add on to my already existing stories, but they can make for short stories...

The Ox Who Won The Forfeit : Overall theme that encouragement is a better tool to use than intimidation when it comes to leadership. My last Cindiarella story ends with the evil stepmother taking over the kingdom. My final story can have the stepmother playing the role of the ox owner who is uses his authority in a bad way. The Kingdom would be upset with the switch in power and the king and his daughter can create a resistance that can overthrow the queen. At the end of the story the king and his daughter can resume their rightful place at the thrown, thus showing that an encouraging leader is desired more. I could even possibly bring back Steve and Ella to help them gain the kingdom back! The Ox Who Envied The Pig : I loved the theme from this story. Its the typical "things aren't as they appear." I feel like its so easy for us to lose sight of what really matters and be envious of the things that we really don't fully understand. I think if I wanted to ditch my...
