Tiffany Scoco Dr. Corinne McKamey FNED:346 19 September 2018 The Hand That Feeds The event I attended was a movie called The Hand That Feeds. It began at 12:30 on Wednesday September 19th 2018 in Gaige Hall room 005 and ended at 2:00 pm. I showed up a little late because I was in the FSEHD meeting but I was able to watch a majority of the movie. While watching this movie, I learned that just because you have a job doesn’t mean that you have money. You can work your fingers to the bone your entire life and still have no money and nothing to show for it. I also learned that the best way to get anything accomplished is to work together as a team. Collectively we are strong, individually we are weak. What I found most inspiring was the commitment these workers had to keep their job that most Americans see as a disposable job. The documentary was about a illegal immigrant sandwich maker who works at the deli named Mahoma L ó pez, a married father of two. While working at the de...

Tiffany Scoco Dr. Corinne McKamey FNED:346 19 September 2018 Amazing Grace by Jonathan Kozol "There are children in the poorest, most abandoned places who, despite the miseries and poisons that the world has dumped into their lives, seem, when you first meet them, to be cheerful anyway." This quote is relevant to the text because the author is talking about South Bronx and the horrors that some children and families face everyday while living there. The author is talking about how even though these children's lives are filled with everyday horror they still seem happy when you first meet them.

By: Nicholas Kristof August 8th 2015 “We like to boast of America as the “land of opportunity,” and historically there is truth to that.” Nicholas Kristof This quote is talking about how Americans like to say the United states being the land of opportunity. Personally I believe, that America is the land of opportunity because we have the ability to move up in society.

Tiffany Scoco Dr. Corinne McKamey                      FNED:346 11 September 2018 About me I am Tiffany Scoco and my major is special ed. I currently attend Rhode Island College where I am  a sophomore. So far college has been a non stop headache, with all the homework, classwork and tests given in each class. I knew college wouldn't be easy but I didn't think it would be this much work. It's a little overwhelming at times. I have learned the best way to stay on top of your work is to, ask your professor lots of questions and make time to stay after class or see your professor during office hours. I have been interested in special education since the eighth grade. I started volunteering in a special needs classroom over the summer of eighth grade and I have gone back every year since. I have over 4,000 hours in total of volunteering. I went to N....
