A Dragon Versus Knight In A Battle To The DeathIn an English legend not so well known, " Saint George Rides to Battle the Dragon of Wormingford" holds historical implications of importance. Although young people are obsessed with entertaining electronic media and the fantasy comic book of heroes in movies, authentic human heroes sacrificed themselves for others out of personal principles or religious beliefs on the battlefields of the world.One cannot read a person''s private thoughts until they are translated into behavior. Many real heroes like the original Saint George gave their lives to save Christian soldiers. Some men if studied reacted out of conditioning in a conflict situation, while others rationally decide they would die to save others. Self-sacrifice takes real courage.Fortunately, some heroes do not die in battle, but rather conquered their fears and killed their inner-dragons. This tale of a knight''s courage, therefore, has significance for religious and psychological reasons .We hope you enjoy examining them.

This book was initially done as a project for the course Childrens Literature whilst I was at college. Since I always loved delving into the world of the supernatural as a child, and still do as an adult, I decided to create a beautiful short story to encapsulate all the magic of the fairy tales from different parts of the world that I have ever read and seen on film. There is also mystery, fantasy, adventure, magic, and most of all, hope. I also included the beautiful island of Trinidad and Tobago, where I was born and reside.I have also always enjoyed reading about mysterious happenings taking place all over the world, along with mythical and mystical creatures that drive the imagination wild with wonder and adventure. This short story serves to envelop all these and more along with the beauty of familial connection and otherworldly adventures.Therefore, I have taken the world of supernatural fiction and the world of supernatural reality and created a fantasy short story that takes two siblings on a journey with a mysterious Witcxh into another world. A story that can be shared and enjoyed all over the globe, by both children and adults.

Water has always been a big part of my mother''s life. She spent summer after summer at her neighborhood pools. When she was old enough she became a lifeguard. Throughout my mother''s life she has encountered many children who had no idea how to swim. Something had to change and she felt that she could make a difference. My mother got her undergraduate degree from Morgan State University in Baltimore, MD where she took lifeguarding and water safety instruction. She began teaching swimming at 18 for the Red Cross Learn- to- Swim program. After completing College, she taught for only three years before going into the private sector, but made sure she ran and stayed fit. Ultimately, she returned to teaching more than 20 years later. She was able to get her Lifeguard, First-Aid, AED, Lifeguard Instructors and Water Safety Instructor certifications, which she maintained until the present. When I was little I used to love playing in the bathtub. Before I was two years old my mother would have me practice exhaling in the bathtub water. She bought me some colorful stick-on numbers, shapes, and letters which she placed in the bathroom on the tub wall. This became our little nightly play area. By the age of two, I could call out all the numbers from 1-10, name all the colors and shapes on the bath tub, as well as exhale under water while kicking to the count of ten. I was only two years old, and was already prepared to be in an actual pool. There are many reasons why children don''t know how to swim today. These reasons include: a fear of water, parents who are fearful of water and are scared for their children to learn, swimming was never important for them to learn, bad experiences or just not having access to do so.
