In the Book of Genesis, Eve is the world’s first woman created by God to be a wife to Adam. Eve is placed in the Garden of Eden and allowed to eat any fruit except the fruit of The Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil because if she eats it she will die. A snake convinces her to eat it anyway. She then gives it to her husband who also eats it. They then realize they are naked. An angel is then sent to banish her and Adam from the garden so that they can’t eat the fruit of The Tree of Life and live forever. God gives them clothes and says that Eve will become the mother of all humans and be very respected but that her husband will rule over her. Eve gives birth to a son and she names him Cain. She then gives birth to a second son named Abel.
Leonard Hofstadter
Leonard Hofstadter is a fictional character in the television show The Big Bang Theory. Leonard is from New Jersey. His father is an anthropologist and his mother is a neuroscientist. Leonard’s parents made him learn to play the cello and become a scientist even though he wanted to be a rapper “like Snoop Dogg but with a little more healthy respect for the police”. Leonard was on the debate team in school and says that if he had not had glasses, he would have been “the coolest kid on the debate team to get constantly shoved into his locker.” Leonard also mentions that he once had a bully who gave him such a terrible wedgie that it temporarily moved one of his testicles. He also says that he hated high school because he was never popular and that his mother never let him celebrate his birthday because “that was her accomplishment, not mine” and that his parents never paid attention to his achievements. Leonard got his Phd at Princeton and got a job working at Caltech. He became a roommate of Sheldon Cooper because he couldn’t afford an apartment with only his own money. He almost accidentally gave American nuclear secrets to his girlfriend Joyce Kim not realizing that she was a North Korean spy but Sheldon Cooper annoyed her so much that she left before he could give her anything. When a beautiful girl named Penny moves in across the hall from Leonard and Sheldon, Leonard falls in love with her. Leonard tried to get her to like him but thanks to Sheldon she finds out that Leonard has Luke Skywalker shampoo and Darth Vader conditioner uses the periodic table as a shower curtain and plays boggle in Klingon with his friends including Sheldon, Rajesh Koothrapalli and Howard Wolowitz leading her to think that he is a nerd. For most of the show Leonard is trying to start a relationship with Penny and they eventually date and get married.

Candice Pitts
Candice Pitts (born Belize City) is a Belizean politician and educator. She has been serving as a Councillor for Belize City since March 7, 2018 and PUP Standard Bearer for the Mesopotamia Constituency since August 3, 2019. Pitts has also served as a professor at the University of Belize and at Albany State University in the United States.
Candice Pitts was born in Belize City, Belize. She was the only child in her family. Her parents did not struggle in showing her affection. One of her parents' biggest challenges was managing the income they both earned. Both her parents worked. They were not as wealthy as those of her classmates, but they raised her with care. After successfully completing her primary and secondary education, Pitts went on to study at the University of Belize. She initially wanted to study abroad, but her parents still did not have enough money to pay for her to do so. At university, Pitts decided to pursue law because she was interested in the legal system. Pitts participated in debates concerning law in Belize. She even made a speech on how corrupt the legal system of the island was under the United Democratic Party (UDP) government. She graduated from university at the age of 24.
After her graduation, Pitts went back to the University of Belize and this time applied to be an educator there. After looking at her record in the university during her years as a student, the president gladly appointed Pitts educator, making her the youngest person to become an educator there. Pitts would describe her years at the University of Belize as both rewarding and challenging. She explained her experiences by saying, "I take great pride in being a member of our national university, as it affords me the opportunity to contribute to and become instrumental in the process of nation-building here in Belize. We may concur that being an educator is one of the most effective ways to contribute to national development." She pointed out some of the challenges she observed, explaining, "A part of those challenges is the endeavor to strike an important balance between the intense teaching load, the commitment to research and publication, and the need to be of service internal and external to the university. Invariably, a faculty member falls short of striking the balance." She made a very good observation that students have difficulty with communication and expressing themselves in the English language both orally and in writing.
As an educator, Pitts feels that her objective is to have her students understand that they can Read about themselves and can Write about a better World as they imagine it should be. One of her favorite quotations is from William Shakespeare: "All the world's a stage/ And all the man and woman merely players."
While Pitts was serving as an educator at the University of Belize, the "Amandala", Belize's leading newspaper, recruited her to write for them. She accepted the offer in 2015 and worked there for three years. She first served as their political editor in 2016 and was later moved to Assistant Professor and Researcher. In 2017, Pitts wrote three publications: A book on the evolution of print media in Belize and two scholarly essays on nation building in the works of Jamaica Kincaid and Margaret Cezaire-Thompson, respectively. Pitts has wrote several news articles for "Amandala".
On 3 August 2016, she was invited to read an extract of her Phd dissection to Margery Liang, the wife of the judge, professor, and diplomat Edward Liang. Her dissertation was firmly rooted in nationalism in the English-speaking Caribbean with a focus on the works of Kincaid, Thompson and Belize's own Zee Edgell and how they represented the nationalist movements in their countries. There are also ongoing efforts to organize a public lecture led by Pitts which will coincide with the September celebrations.
"My Position is that Belizeans should think about their society, cultures, and politics critically. Edgell's novel has allowed [them to] do just that. My article can help Belizeans to look at socio-cultural and political issues I raised both critically and differently," said Pitts. Pitts also told "Amandala", "I am more excited about publishing an article that discusses Belizean issues and having [it] available for global readership."
