Online
degree
programs
have
come
a
long
way
since
their
early
days.
Traditional
colleges
an
d
universities
have
developed
distance
learning
programs
to
accommodate
individuals
who
would
not
otherwise
have
the
time
or
funds
to
earn
an
advanced
degree.
Online
programs
require
the
same
amount
of
study
and
work
as
a
classroom
program.
If
you
are
under
the
impression
that
c
ourses
offered
online
will
be
a
walk
in
the
park,
think
again!
Online
degree
programs
are
often
more
difficult
than
traditional
university
programs
due
to
the
fact
the
work
and
study
is
left
up
to
the
student.
Time
management
skills
are
crucial,
since
there
is
not
a
particular
time
of
the
day
set
aside
specifically
for
study.
It
may
take
some
time
to
become
accustomed
to
this
method
of
scholarship,
but
the
pros
of
online
classes
may
outweigh
the
cons
in
your
situation.
The
main
difference
between
online
degree
programs
and
traditional
higher
education
is
the
l
ocation
of
learning.
Instead
of
being
confined
to
a
stuffy
classroom
filled
with
students,
these
onli
ne
classes
have
a
more
personal
feeling.
While
many
students
would
be
hesitant
to
speak
one
t
o
one
with
a
class
instructor,
online
programs
find
their
students
more
willing
to
contact
their
pro
fessors
via
e-mail.
This
great
participation
encourages
better
understanding
of
the
course
materia
l.
Of
course,
not
attending
a
class
also
comes
with
additional
barriers.
A
student
must
be
equipp
ed
with
time
management
skills
in
order
to
succeed
in
an
online
class.
Students
that
lack
the
pr
oper
time
management
skills
may
find
themselves
overwhelmed
with
course
work
at
the
end
of
t
he
semester
or
falling
behind
in
their
studies.
Whether
you
choose
to
attend
a
traditional
college
or
university
or
enroll
in
an
online
higher
education
program,
the
chances
of
success
are
equal.
In
the
end,
it
is
up
to
you
in
order
to
co
mplete
the
course
of
study
and
earn
your
degree.
For
busy
individuals
or
students
wishing
to
ret
urn
to
school
without
greatly
affecting
their
everyday
lives,
an
online
degree
program
may
be
the
best
option.

Thanksgiving
is
celebrated
every
year
on
the
fourth
Thursday
of
November.
The
month
of
November
is
in
autumn,
the
main
season
for
harvesting
crops.
The
writer
O.
Henry
called
Thanksgiving
the
one
holiday
that
is
purely
American.
It
is
not
a
religiou
s
holiday.
But
it
has
spiritual
meaning.
Thanksgiving
began
with
the
first
European
settlers
in
America.
They
gathered
their
crops,
celebrated
and
gave
thanks
for
the
food.
Tradition
says
Pilgrim
settlers
from
England
celebrated
the
first
Thanksgiving
in
1621.
There
is
evide
nce
that
settlers
in
other
parts
of
America
held
earlier
Thanksg
iving
celebrations.
But
the
Pilgrims’
Thank
sgiving
story
is
the
most
popular.
The
Pilgrims
were
religious
dissidents
who
fled
oppression
in
England.
They
went
first
to
the
Netherl
ands.
Then
they
left
that
country
to
establish
a
colony
in
North
America.
The
Pilgrims
landed
in
1620
i
n
what
later
became
known
as
Plymouth,
Massachusetts.
Their
voyage
across
the
Atlantic
Ocean
was
difficult.
Their
first
months
in
America
were
difficult,
to
o.
About
one
hundred
Pilgrims
landed
just
as
autumn
was
turning
to
winter.
During
the
cold
months
that
followed,
about
half
of
them
died.
When
spring
came,
the
Pilgrims
began
to
plant
crops.
An
American
Indian
named
Squanto
helped
the
m.
When
summer
ended,
the
Pilgrims
had
a
good
harvest
of
corn
and
barley.
There
was
enough
food
to
last
through
the
winter.
The
Pilgrims
decided
to
hold
a
celebration
to
give
thanks
for
their
harvest.
Writings
from
that
time
s
ay
Pilgrim
leader
William
Bradford
set
a
date
late
in
the
year.
He
invited
members
of
a
nearby
Indian
t
ribe
to
take
part.
There
were
many
kinds
of
food
to
eat.
The
meal
included
wild
birds
such
as
ducks,
g
eese
and
turkeys.
That
thanksgiving
celebration
lasted
three
days.
As
the
American
colonies
grew,
many
towns
and
settlements
held
thanksgiving
or
harvest
celebrations.

Language
learning
begins
with
listening.
Children
are
greatly
different
in
the
amount
of
listening
they
do
before
they
start
speaking,
and
later
starters
are
often
long
listeners.
Most
children
will
“obey”
spoke
n
instructions
some
time
before
they
can
speak,
though
the
word
“obey”
is
hardly
accurate
as
a
descripti
on
of
the
eager
and
delighted
cooperation
usually
shown
by
the
child.
Before
they
can
speak,
many
chil
dren
will
also
ask
questions
by
gesture
and
by
making
questioning
noises.
Any
attempt
to
study
the
development
from
the
noises
babies
make
to
their
first
spoken
words
leads
to
considerable
difficulties.
It
is
agreed
that
they
enjoy
making
noises,
and
that
during
the
first
few
mont
hs
one
or
two
noises
sort
themselves
as
particularly
expressive
as
delight,
pain,
friendliness,
and
so
on.
But
since
these
can’t
be
said
to
show
the
baby’s
intentio
n
to
communicate,
they
can
hardly
be
regarded
as
early
forms
of
language.
It
is
agreed,
too,
that
from
about
three
months
they
play
with
sounds
for
enj
oyment,
and
that
by
six
months
they
are
able
to
add
new
words
to
their
store.
This
self-imitation
leads
on
to
deliberate
imitation
of
sounds
made
or
words
spoken
to
them
by
other
people.
The
problem
then
a
rises
as
to
the
point
at
which
one
can
say
that
these
imitations
can
be
considered
as
speech.
It
is
a
problem
we
need
to
get
out
teeth
into.
The
meaning
of
a
word
depends
on
what
a
particular
person
means
by
it
in
a
particular
situation
and
it
is
clear
that
what
a
child
means
by
a
word
will
chan
ge
as
he
gains
more
experience
of
the
world.
Thus
the
use
at
seven
months
of
“mama”
as
a
greeting
fo
r
his
mother
cannot
be
dismissed
as
a
meaningless
sound
simply
because
he
also
uses
it
at
other
times
f
or
his
father,
his
dog,
or
anything
else
he
likes.
Playful
and
meaningless
imitation
of
what
other
people
say
continues
after
the
child
has
begun
to
speak
for
himself,
I
doubt,
however
whether
anything
is
gaine
d
when
parents
take
advantage
of
this
ability
in
an
attempt
to
teach
new
sounds.
