Dockinville vs. Mocklin
In a hillside country, not far from the city lived a young family of four. Johnny and Maria were a match made for as they had little Sarah and her older brother Tom. Johnny and Maria were young parents and they liked the country. They could not afford shoes and their family wore sandals. The grass was gentle with little weeds. The flowers lasted almost till the end of fall and there was plenty of food to eat. The family made everything they wanted to eat and drink. This is the work and chores of their habitation. The weather in Dockinville, where the family lived, was fair with slightly heated summers and mild winters. Dockinville was a quiet place in the middle of the fields with huge trees and many species of flowers. It was what some might say was a retreat compared to other places.

They Know How They Treated Me
It was back in the gloomy times, where war was far from cry. A man is only worth what he can carry and a woman is only worth her lineage. It seemed like a time of great distress and struggle. One man sought to be above another man and to keep that position. It was a very much strange time. It was a time of needed reflection because hope was faded. Love was cold and life was fate. Every soul knows that one situation can cause a major disfunction. Everybody was anxious and most people wanted to keep a truce. War was despised. Oppression everywhere and oppression heartfelt. Most people had indifferent because they thought society needed the things that they had. I for one did not understand the high life. I did not understand what freedom was. I just knew that if it was being like master and doing what I please I yearned that.

Plasticity of the Brain
Brain plasticity never ends, it only begins. It starts with childhood with proper nutrition and training. A child can become a genius by learning multiple languages and understanding stress-free skills such as music. We must never be afraid of tests because whether we pass or fail our brains expand on tests and trials. We know that our brains are growing because their memory increases seen through gray matter. Memory is the lifeblood of the brain. It shows that the brain is creating more cells and enhancing its presence within the body. All the parts of the brain connect through hormones within the blood. Our brain is not only a massive neuron control system but also the healer of the body. All diseases can be traced back to the brain, the brain creates the protein to empower the immune system. The brain is the genetic control system telling each organ how to react. The brain feeds on chemicals and repairs and detaches based on chemical compounds. It is our job to maintain a healthy brain by reducing stress and preparing ourselves for survival. Did you know illegal drugs only increased the chemicals already in our body? Yeah, they do and these drugs blocked off receptors, which makes them dangerous as they increased a chemical in our bodies, and begin breaking down the body. Our body has a system in place where the brain directs the potion of chemical compounds needed to operate effectively. We can't see the brain react only through X-Rays but when the brain is working, the part of the brain that is operating is highlighted by chemical reaction. The very smallest part of our brain has the greatest impact, our reproductive part of the brain controls so much of us because of its massive production of hormones. According to scientists, language learning comes from the left side of the brain and our motor skills learning comes from the right side of the brain. Our brain must learn how to coordinate itself and this takes time. Time is the answer for our brain to heal and expand. We have to be willing to test our limits and learn new things. We need potion control and necessary vitamins to provide the chemical compounds for growth. When we eat too many vitamins and minerals and sugars and salts, we create more fats. Fats are not necessarily evil because they give the body energy to burn. Too much fat can cause a delay in chemical action. Our brain is meant to heal the body and manage its affairs. To create success, we must remember how we achieved that success. And the only way to remember is to remind ourselves of it such as talking to ourselves and using our learning habits. This will place that memory in long term. When we create long-term memory, we make our brains stronger. There is another dimension in our brain, we must never believe our hype. We have three elements of the psyche and they helped us achieve rational and reasonable reactions within our lives. We must keep them in balance and know ourselves. Flattery and compliments must be taken with a grain of salt. If we stay realistic then we will be better prepared for the future. If we stop at one success and never strive for others then we are wasting our time. We ought to strive until we cannot strive any longer. Our brains love challenges and they grow continually. They do not stop at a young age. They do not stop when we fail. They persist and continue involuntary and voluntary because we are living orgasms. If the brain stops then we are dead. We must be lifelong learners to have a healthy life knowing when to calm the body through stress-free practices such as mediation. Learning and only learning expands and grows the brain with healthy living.

Einstein's Legacy
Einstein is known as the renowned scientist whose family escaped Nazi Germany to live in America. His family thought they were leaving behind all the bigotry and hatred, however, they had to deal with the injustices in America. There was a social caste system for White Americans in America, according to Sociologists. In this system, Anglo-Saxons were the highest, and immigrants from warlike countries were seen as the lowest. This affected job placement and livelihood because employers would base their decisions on your race and reputation. However, Einstein fought this with his mind and his knowledge, being born to a dedicated Jewish family and being undermined for lack of social skills even talking late did not stop the man. He would use his mind to advance his studies and become great. Einstein had Christian friends in college, who helped him advance. They help his reputation and got him jobs so he could build his family. They believed in his innate abilities and modest capabilities that he should be recommended to prestigious universities and ultimately to the President of the United States. Einstein did not want to invent the atomic bomb but he had to prove his loyalty to his nation, America especially when Nazi Germany knew of many prominent scientists of Jewish descent leaving to America. Nazi Germany plotted to take them out sending a message retrieved in the Carribeans. The President of the United States had to react and he called upon every able scientist to build mass weaponry. Einstein reluctantly accepted and became known for being a leading scientist of the nuclear weapons project. Einstein knew in his mind, that he did not want to be known for destruction and he fought to undo the harm of building that weapon, which could have been his greatest work. Einstein retreated from any further research and development after he saw the defeat of the Mad Genius of Nazi Germany. He led a reclusive life in expanding science and learning. Einstein did not back down from any academic dispute, when his students objected to his teachings and ridicule him, he would silently write on the board a greater achievement, the universal formula. He would quietly stand next to his greatest achievement and not allow anyone to leave his class without asking what it is. And he would teach about the formula in many different ways and make the whole semester about his greatest achievement to ingrain in their minds. Einstein hoped to make science more than formulas and power to transform it into the knowledge of brainstorming and thinking outside the box. He even tried to instill this into his children who followed in their father's footsteps. When he won the Nobel Peace Prize, he finally got his chance to change science for the good and to recognize intelligence as a force for good. Einstein believed that the mind should not be wasted on war and violence. And that we should undo the hatred in the world starting with children and build a world where people use their minds to solve real-life issues and create a future-ready to take on the challenges of the past. Einstein invested in an organization that teaches children to use their minds. His organization would share the knowledge of the community and collective learning. This created the brand of Einstein around the world as the master genius who inspires all people to achieve success through education. This brand made Einstein one of the greatest minds in human history and the genius behind collective world knowledge. He dedicated his brain to science asking his friend and colleague to remove his mind for science and that this was his last request. Einstein trusted his professor friend because he wanted to inspire the next generation to greatness and he felt that our minds should not be wasted. His friend respected his wishes and carefully displayed the mind which made Einstein so great.
