Should I be concerned if my cycles are rarely 28 days? Why do I

day-to-day basis. It's the first book specifically designed to

In this moving story that’s perfect for fans of John Green’s The Fault in Our Stars, two teens fall in love with just one minor complication - they can’t get within a few feet of each other without risking their lives.
Can you love someone you can never touch?
Stella Grant likes to be in control - even though her totally out of control lungs have sent her in and out of the hospital most of her life. At this point, what Stella needs to control most is keeping herself away from anyone or anything that might pass along an infection and jeopardize the possibility of a lung transplant. Six feet apart. No exceptions.
The only thing Will Newman wants to be in control of is getting out of this hospital. He couldn’t care less about his treatments, or a fancy new clinical drug trial. Soon, he’ll turn eighteen and then he’ll be able to unplug all these machines and actually go see the world, not just its hospitals.
Will’s exactly what Stella needs to stay away from. If he so much as breathes on Stella she could lose her spot on the transplant list. Either one of them could die. The only way to stay alive is to stay apart. But suddenly six feet doesn’t feel like safety. It feels like punishment.
What if they could steal back just a little bit of the space their broken lungs have stolen from them? Would five feet apart really be so dangerous if it stops their hearts from breaking too?
With the increasing amount of diversity taking place in the United
States and in our K-12 schools, this book will help school leaders
become prepared. It is the school principal who sets the tone for
the school culture and provides the vision as to the direction of
the organization. Therefore, school principals will ultimately have
a great impact in promoting cultural and social diversity. School
Leadership in a Diverse Society: Helping Schools Prepare all
Students for Success (2nd Edition) will help scholars and
practitioners have a better understanding of the increasing amount
of diversity that is occurring in American society. This book will
give them the tools needed to lead schools to ensure that all
students, regardless of their life circumstances and status, are
provided a school experience that promotes high academic
achievement and a sense of belonging. Today, multiculturalism and
diversity preparation are needed in our society, seemingly more so
than when schools first made an earnest effort to integrate twenty
years after Brown V. Board of Education. Just as it seemed the
United States was making significant progress dealing with issues
that have plagued this country for hundreds of years, recently,
there has been a surge in diversity-related issues (the killing of
unarmed African Americans, the unwarranted attacks on Asians,
immigration debates, the recent rise of groups thatsupport white
supremacy, blackface incidents, increasing wealth divide between
the ultra rich and the poor, religious backlash, etc.). These
issues should remind us that the struggle for social equity
continues into the present moment. Communities must work together
to help fight rising intolerance and prejudice within our country
and schools.
