Summary

When I came to Japan, I started working as an English teacher. Although I majored in journalism in college, I started a new career path here. I worked at two public high schools in Saitama and then at three nurseries in Tokyo. At that time, I had more than 100 students. Until today, I can still remember most of their names and faces. Being a teacher was a fun and new experience, and even though I was the one teaching them English, I learned many things from them. Today I want to talk about two students who deeply impacted me.

Your host, Brad Swail, interviews a select number of the subject to help you dive a little deeper into their life.

In Uniform 300, photographer Rahm Carrington and curator/producer Alice Carrington Foultz will collaborate to depict the diversity of San Antonians following the 6 pillars of the Tricentennial: Religion, Military, History & Education, Arts & Culture, World Heritage and Community Service.

In some cases, this may be a Padre, Soldier or Charro wearing a prescribed uniform. In other cases we may photograph a Spurs super-fan, or a bakery owner, whereby their uniform is the clothes they wear and the image the Three Girls in a Flat Laura Hayes; Jean Loughborough; Enid Yandell Enid Yandell (October 6, 1870 - June 13, 1934) was an American sculptor who studied with Auguste Rodin and Frederick William MacMonnies. She created numerous portraits, garden pieces and small works as well as public monuments. Ms. Yandell also studied in Paris and kept a studio there. This book, Three Girls in a Flat, is a semi-autobiographical account of her work as a sculptor for the Horticultural Building at the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893. Co-written with two friends, it's an episodic account of the trials and tribulations of three young women eking out a living while sharing a small flat in Chicago. The young ladies are called Virginia (or Gene), Marjorie and the Duke (a young sculptor -- certainly Ms. Yandell's character). Interspersed among the stories of their work days, social gatherings held in their flat, daily life in Chicago, interactions with their neighbors, and young male callers at various times, are descriptions of the work of the women involved w Save the Girls Mason Long Save the Girls is an 1880 American anti-white-slavery book by reformed gambler Mason Long. In it, the author crusades against the social evil of prostitution by presenting a series of pathetic portraits of young women from various social classes who are brought low by such temptations of city life as the theater, the racecourse, and street flirtations. Included are vignettes of vice like "The Evils of Dancing - Sad Results of a Public Ball," in which innocent Marie, out for a good time, falls prey to the type of 'sporting men' who prowl such events in search of a partner for more than just The Glide or the Boston Dip. - Summary by Grant Hurlock Marilyn: Behind the Icon Gary Vitacco-Robles, Nina Boski and Randall Libero Marilyn: Behind the Icon is three series in one: an audio drama, an investigative series, and a discussion series. It blends a original scripted episodic story with commentary on the remarkable life of Marilyn Monroe. It’s up close, raw and real; telling her story through extensively researched historical events, including Marilyn Monroe’s own perspective in her own words. We explore her inner journey and human side as no other podcast, film or TV show has ever done before. The series portrays her personal struggles with mental illness and addiction in addition to her amazing resiliency in achieving her dreams as one the greatest movie actresses and icons in motion picture history. We begin our story with her life as a young girl named Norma Jeane—a girl desperate for a stable family and home life — a girl seeking to find her place—a girl nobody wanted—who grew up in the care of foster families and caretakers. As a young teen searching for her identity, she became determined to make
