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

A) My article is from cnn.com under the health section. It is 7 habits of highly successful snakers. Basically telling you what you can do to eat healthy and stay healthy, without crash dieting or excessive working out. The seven steps are: fix your own food, eat a balanced snack, snack to maintain weight, keep stress in check, once a month allow yourself more, crave calcium and shun sodium, and drink lots of water. These steps are helping you snack junk-free. There would not be a who or when or where. But this article tells you how to eat healthy, and why? So you can learn to stay healthy. It tells you what to do.
B) I did enjoy this article, it was very interesting and eye opening. It gave me good tips on how to munch on food during the day. At school I always find myself hungry so these are good rules to follow. I chose this article because it seemed beneficial to myself and good to teach others. It was well written, pretty simple writing though.
