June 13 blog 2!

So, this is our last blog ever. Pretty odd. This is also probably the last grade for any high school history classes. Even more odd. I'm excited the years over but also don't want it to be over yet. It really went by too fast and I want these last few days to slow down. I hope we have a great last few classes. Stroud, this year has really been fun. I'm so glad I had you as a teacher, I really enjoyed the class and actually learned something. How weird! You made government something to look forward, and i'll miss ya next year when I have cranky old professors. I'll come visit don't you worry. You are a great teacher and I wish you the best of luck with everything! Thank yaaa vury much

A) My article waaas about a priest in Boston, who is on leave for sexual abuse allegations. The complains and allegations were from children 50 years ago. The archdiocese has counseling and other services for people affected in this situation. He is currently on administrative leave. Long time ago, but still weird.

B) I chose this article because it caught my eye and attention. I think these kind of articles gives priests a bad name and stereotype, although it is happening quite often..

It was well written I suppose, but it did not give me as much information as I thought it would.

I didn't really enjoy it that much, pretty basic and not descriptive. Kind of weirded me out too.

June 6 blog number twooo

So, this past weekend was pretty busy. I had my 18th birthday on Friday and my grad party on Saturday. Birthday was pretty good, although never really fully enjoy birthdays they are awkward and something bad always happens. I really did enjoy peoples enthusiasm and I realized I have a great friend family support system. Grad party was fun, glad to see everyone came out for it. I shared it with my two best friends Sarah and Steph. Good food, good times. Graduation is soon weeiirrird

A)My article is about the Titans quarterback Vince Young in his alleged assault at a strip club in Dallas, Texas. Apparently Young struck another man in his face after the two got in an argument. The assault charge may be up to $500 dollars. Young has not spoken out about the incident yet.

B)

I chose this article because it was one of the top stories on CNN and it seemed interesting.

I suppose it was well written, seen better seen worse.

I did enjoy this article, it was interesting to read. Although it is disappointing to read of sport starts always getting into trouble. They have such an amazing well paid job and then put themselves in a spot where they can just throw it all away. No good.

Senior Post

Let's see what to talk about. Ok, thank you John Shelton for this idea, my major. So, I decided a little while back that I am majoring in Special Education. I have always been interested in teaching and absolutely love working with kids but had never really thought of special education. But when I went into high school I would work down in the special education room and hang out with the students there and always had a great time and worked well with them. And last summer I went to a camp where I was the counselor for teens with mental disabilities and had such an amazing experience. I understand them and realize they are incredible kids that are so normal just have something that on the outside is making them stand out. Uhhm so yes I feel that the major I have chosen is perfect for me. Yeah it will be hard and needs a lot of patience but I am up for that challenge and ultimately know I will be helping them. Sooo let's see where it takes me in life, maybe a special education teacher or working with kids at camps or I don't even know, endless possibilities.

My article is from cnn.com, and deals with Elizabeth Smart's court case. Elizabeth smart in 2001 was kidnapped from her home by a man Brian David Mitchell. She was gone for

nine months. She was held captive near her house in Salt lake city, Utah with Mitchell and wife, Wanda Barzee. Wanda, on friday

had her court case and was sentenced to 15 years in federal prison. She pleaded guilty to the counts, and at the trial told the Smart family

how sorry she was for her actions. She was also deemed a sex offender.

This is an interesting case, about an interesting person. Wanda some-what sat back and watched her husband kidnap a young girl

and hold her captive for 9 months. I think that years of being with her husband made her some what insane. Although she did not kidnap

Elizabeth, she didn't do anything about it. Really weird. I do believe she is regretful about her actions and highly doubt she will ever do anything

like that again. I remember this case and knew a lot about it so it is interesting to read this. I am glad Elizabeth and her family are doing well though!

May 16 blog part DOS

Well, senior year is winding down and school seems to be dragging on. It seems pretty pointless to go to school because my curriculum is done in 3 of my classes. I definitely have a case of senoritis. I think that teachers with all student classes should not be giving busy work because it just adds on symptoms of our senoritis. Busy work makes us want to skip! We should just order pizza everyday, just kidding but we just shouldn't show up. I am very excited for beautiful weather and summer! Huuuurrry up
