Famous Last Words; Finally Done

Well, this will be my last blog post in this class and maybe ever. I am finally done and I did it with 45 minutes to spare. This class was difficult for me because I was very busy with all the other classes I was taking and also some personal stuff going on. There was a lot of writing and I think that I got better as the class went on. This class also gave a lot of tools to use and tips like time management and other things that I can still look back on and remember as I start this next chapter in my life. I had never even thought about mythology and folklore before and now I have learned something new that I can use. Its never a waste when you gain knowledge about a subject. I was hesitant to take this class when I started because honestly it was just something that I was not interested in. But I wanted to challenge myself by going out of my comfort zone and proving to myself that I could learn something I wasnt particularly found of in the beginning. But I have a new found respect for this course and the subject. There are so many interesting stories and a lot that I had never even heard of before. I tried to be as creative as possible and actually really enjoyed going back and reading my writing. When I write I feel I am not doing as well but when I go back and read I actually think that I am pretty good. There are still some things I need to work on but blogging could be in my future if I find a subject I am super passionate about. Who knows maybe I will help someone out someday with my words. That would make me happy. Anyways, I really did enjoy this at the end of the day and would recommend this to a friend that wants to be better at writing.

What a class! link

Week 5 Story: The Tale of Johnny Gloke

Check out the stroy on my portfolio Here! Johnny Gloke was a farmer by trade, but, like a man of spirit, he grew tired of his trade and wished to follow a path that would lead to honor and fame. So for a time he was much fonder of sitting around thinking of what he could do rather than tending the crop. One day Johnny Gloke was walking around his farm trying to find something to do. He was in the barn and came across a leather football. He walked outside and saw a beehive hanging from a tree about 40 yards away. He wound up and three the football and stuck the beehive right in the middle and knocked it down. He was overjoyed at his success and his heart rose to the doing of the great deed. He now knew what his path would be to fortune and honor. So he set out to find the best college football program to go play for. He grabbed his football and headed for college. He came across a college, The University of Oklahoma. Oklahoma needed a quarterback and Johnny Glock knew he was th...

Learning Challenge: I wish my teacher knew....

This is the first time I have seen this story. I think it is a good way to connect with kids and really understand that not every kid is the same and you have to adapt as teacher to kids environments to connect with them and find out the best way for them to learn. Keeping this anonymous is key because a lot of these children would be embarrassed to tell others and now a days would probably get made fun of for it. I think this teacher had an amazing idea and I hope that teachers all across the country are using this method to help there students feel comfortable admitting something because I think that will help them with being able to swallow their pride and ask for help later in life. Its all about trust. Photo from NYT

Turks and Caicos... My FAVORITE Place

My favorite place in the whole world is Providenciales Island in Turks and Caicos. I have been going every New years week for the last three years and I absolutely love it there. The water is a color that is indescribable and is just amazing to look at. It is so clear you can see the bottom of the ocean almost every where you go! The food and culture is a big mix of a lot of places, so you definitely can find something you enjoy. My favorite thing to do there is to go snorkeling as it is one of the best places to snorkel and scuba dive in the world! The water color and white sand beaches are stunning!                                                                   Photo by Agile Levine As you can see the colors are magnificent and the water is so clear!
