Gettin' Ziggy With It

My last semester in college has decided to fly by so quickly and moving into the real world is now becoming more and more of a reality everyday. I sit down and think about how quickly my 5 years here have gone and it is crazy to meet that this chapter in my life is about to end is just 5 short weeks. I started looking for jobs at the end of August and although I had been scared about finding a job for the last 5 years I received multiple job offers which is a blessing and stressful at the same time. I had a hard time decided what I wanted my career to be in but ultimately I took the path that I felt most passionate about which what you're supposed to do right? I feel much better about the stress that lifted off me and I am so excited to start my career and begin to perfect my craft. Im not sure how much my life will change but at the end of the day I know that everything is going to work out and I will be doing exactly what I was meant to be doing. It is going to be alot of hard wo...

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

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...

Johnny Gloke was looking for fame and some how stumbled upon it Luck was in his favor as he defeated the giants when he found them tired and defeated the rebel army out of luck due to him falling off his horse I feel as if I could turn this into a sports related story, I have wanted to do that all semester and havent had the oppurtunity yet.  It would end as victorious for the main character but the way he got their would be similar as to Johnny Glokes path to be king Johnny Gloke by Joseph Jacobs; link to story Giants

Three Little Pigs; Link I had just written a blog post about the story of the Three Little Pigs. I read through the article and started to read about the different modern versions of this famous fairy tail and that is when I came across a character who was a "Cannabis Smoker". Cannabis Smoking; Link I chose the cannabis smoking link because I figured it would lead me down a complete different road from where I began. The cannabis smoking article got to the different ways to ingest cannabis and that is when I came across "Place under the tongue". Sublingual Administration; Link I chose this subject because I wanted to get even deeper into how strange I could end up from the original search. Reading through this article obviously lead me to the different drugs that are taken by placing them underneath the tongue. That is when I came across "LSD". Lysergic Acid Diethylamide; Link I chose LSD because I knew that this is where I would of ended and to...

The three little pigs is one of the most famous tales I want to keep the beginning of the story the same " ill huff and ill puff and ill blow your house down" After the wolf gets to the third house I can change the story around the wolf gets tricked every time and I could change that around to where the wolf was doing so on purpose The wolf talks about different ways to get the last pig out. I could change the way he tries to get him out of the house. Maybe even spy on the pig to devise a plan.  I don't want to take away from the original story but I feel like I could have some better ideas to make it more interesting.  Joseph Jacobs, Three Little Pigs; Link to reading The Wolf
