I first had a moment of understanding and realization about my self when recently I had to deal with a horrible break up. After three years of dating, it becomes a lifestyle, or at least it seems to. I had prayed and prayed time after time for God to just give me strength and guide me when I should be.
After months of praying I finally did what I needed to do. Although it was an awful separation, I realized that I am such a happier person and I am now starting to go back to church. It was a really significant event in my life because I realized who I really was and I finally made my self happy rather than worrying about making everybody else happy.

Gregory Ulmer defines culture as the quality in a person or society that arises from an interest in and aquaintance with what is generally regarded as excellence in arts, letters, manners, scholarly pursuits, etc. (Ulmer 33). My field of study which is Elementary Education which implies the education of young students on the elementary level at a grade school (Dictionary.com).
However, a different meaning appears when the word "special" appears before the word "education". Even though both words contain education, the meaning is very different. Special Education refers to the education that is characterized by students whom have learning disabilities or are gifted students (Dictionary.com).
Ulmer explains, although a term or phrase may be present in two or more words, the meaning can change drastically, it is a good idea to pay closer attention to root words and realize that the meaning of words may change significantly.
