    UDL: Ramadan Readiness

    in Education

    Ayesha and The Prophet(pbuh) on Sha’baan:
    “The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) fasted so much in some months we even thought he did not break his fast in that month. In some months, he broke his fast so much that we would say he did not fast on any days in this month. I did not see the Messenger of Allah(pbuh) fast in the whole month except Ramadan and I never saw him fast in any month more than he did in Sha’baan” Ayesha(ra)

    in Training

    Today, I would like to challenge you to focus on one single task at a time, so you can accomplish more!
    Challenging ourselves to single tasking can be achieved through various strategies:
    Prioritize your task. Set a time limit: Block specific time for each task. Minimize distractions: Create conducive work environment. Practice mindfulness: Train your mind to stay present and focused on the task at hand. Break your tasks into smaller steps. Utilize Productivity Tools: Like your calendar, task lists, or productivity apps, and stay on track with single tasking goals. Take breaks: Allow yourself short breaks between tasks to recharge and to refocus. By incorporating these strategies into your daily routine, you can gradually develop the habits of single tasking.

    Close Up Radio Spotlights Zahraa Mougnieh of Kid Chemist

    in Education

    Dearborn Heights, MI – Zahraa Mougnieh is the founder and owner of Kid Chemist. Created in 2019, It’s an educational program for children and young adults, ranging from preschool age through college age, which teaches science in an entertaining way. It focuses on several types of sciences, in addition to chemistry.
    “We offer a lot,” explains Zahraa. “We want students to come to us in our lab environment, where we create programs once a week which each lasts sixty to ninety minutes. Our curriculums are based on organic chemistry, general chemistry, anatomy, and biology. It’s all designed to be a hands on experience.”
    “We also work with schools for field trips and assemblies, where we do the craziest experiments and then teach the students about it,” adds Zahraa. “Also, we offer after school programs. Other services include one-on-one tutoring, where the subject range goes beyond the sciences and includes other subjects, and the ages range from pre-school all the way to college level. She offers birthday parties where she serves liquid nitrogen ice cream and chemist breath balls, also made with liquid nitrogen. We also have Kid Chemist Kits that can be purchased online to continue the learning at home.”
    One of the more unique aspects to Kid Chemist is that the students wear lab coats. Zahraa feels that this gives kids that boost of confidence, similar to how she felt in college when she wore her lab coat. “We want our students to feel like a kid chemist,” declares Zahraa. “We like to give back to our kids by offering them scholarships for a science fair that we hold.”

    Another Fork in the Road - Coping with Irritability After Brain Injury

    in Education

    Many survivors experience forms of irritability after a brain injury. It's not surprising. But irritability, angst, agitation, and frustration, no matter what you call them, can turn a person's daily life upside down. It not only affects the survivor, who must personally deal with it, but it also impacts the lives of family members and friends who are caring for the survivor.
    Let's talk about dealing with irritability after brain injury.
     
    Every TBI survivor and caregiver has encountered a fork in the road that has diverted his or her life-plan. A car accident, a fall from the roof, doing one more chin-up, or a door literally slamming one in the face are just some causes of traumatic brain injury. College plans, walking down the aisle in the perfect dress, or the coveted job quickly slip from reality as dreams turn to struggle. These unexpected life-happenings that divert one from his or her chosen path in life can be devastating. But as Yogi Berra once said, "If you come to a fork in the road, take it." Life is all about choices!

    UnScripted - Music With Message

    in Education

    Circle The Earth is a multicultural band that creates modern rock sounds, offering cutting-edge new-wave beats that evoke energy and emotion. Their new single, "Maniac on Mute, will be available on February 21, 2024.
    Formed by Mike McBay (bass guitar) in 2018, Circle the Earth rounded out their lineup by adding: Kazuki Tokaji from Japan, who lights up the stage on guitar; Sandro Feliciano from Brazil on drums, Sandy Chao from Taiwan on keyboard and Khadia Handon (vocals). Mike and Khadia are from America. Together, the group offers powerful melodic songs.
    Mike McBay's story is one of grit and determination. A trained medical doctor, he lost his license after succumbing to drug addiction. His parents, who were steeped in academia, shaped his early years. His parents were science department chairs at Atlanta University (now Clark Atlanta University), a Historically Black College and University (HBCU) in Georgia. Mike's youth was marked by his parents' demands to succeed and Mike's dreams of making music. His life led to addiction, which he overcame 13 years ago. "Music was my escape while fighting racism in school and my parents' academic demands," says Mike.
    Circle the Earth's new single, "Maniac on Mute," will be released via Symphonic Distribution on February 21, 2024."Maniac on Mute" is about refusing to let your past trauma accompany you into your future. "Who you are now is not who you used to be. The deal to silence yourself is an effort to bury the past," says Ms. Christy.
    The group's forthright attitude on stage and off is about ethnic inclusion, cultural understanding, international cooperation, personal integrity, and spiritual awareness. "Music brings people together. It offers me hope on a daily basis. The group represents life as positive and uplifting as I continue on my journey to stay healthy," says Mike.
