Founded in 1851, Greenwood Cemetery is one of Humboldt County's oldest resting places, hosting hundreds, including veterans from the Civil War to modern conflicts. In preparation for Memorial Day, I've meticulously cleaned and mapped veteran gravestones over three months. This ensures accurate flag placement, honoring their service beyond symbolism.

The researcher believes that using self-determination theories of autonomy, competence and relatedness will intrinsically and extrinsically motivate the study participant to achieve a predetermined goal. The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of SDT on the number of jumps completed with a jump rope with a student diagnosed with phonological processing and visual motor coordination deficits within a general education class. The participant displayed incremental improvements in Intervention Phases 3, 4 and 5 but did not reach their goal during any of the five intervention phases.
