Just me.

beauty in the basicsToday is the first day of your life. As mentors, we can become lost in these questions and the fight to get answers quickly. It can feel like a constant struggle; you make new discoveries about the work just for it to change the next day. But my time working with youth has shown there are some things that do not change. Regardless of how informed you are about how to attract and retain youth in your program, the value of a genuine relationship should never be underestimated. As a social work student, this was some-thing that was constantly reiterated to me: nothing can replace a strong, trusting bond between you and your client. This holds true for the rela-tionships we have with our youth.

Los pliegues son muy comunes en las del primer tipo, porque son las más fáciles de “doblar” por esfuerzo. Las rocas ígneas, al ser más duras, directamente se rompen generando fallamiento. Como siempre decimos en este blog, hay mucha info en internet, lo importante es dar a conocer el tema para que después el ávido lector busque, lea, aprenda y disfrute. Ahora, ¿qué es un pliegue o plegamiento? DREAM BIG.
