Land of The Free, And Home Of The Brave?
Wednesday, February 13th, 2008

As Americans, we have strong thoughts when we see our flag. The American Flag, our symbol of freedom, bravery, opportunity…. But we think those thoughts because we are Americans. What would someone from another country think? The same, or completely different? Our assignment was to find out, so I’m still […]

Highschool Never Ends…
Wednesday, February 6th, 2008

All right.  We’ve all heard “Highschool Never Ends…” at least once in our lives, whether it be from a movie, an older sibling, parents, you name it.  But that quote makes highschool seem like a burden.  Of course it’s not.  Highschool has the reputation to be a dull, monotonous activity.  Really, it isn’t.  I have […]

Free At Last
Saturday, January 19th, 2008

An inspiring leader, bringing America to the realization of how wrong segregation really is. A role model to children, who refused to use violence as the answer. A man with a dream, a dream that one day blacks could look at whites and whites could look at blacks without seeing color, just people. A man […]

Why I Am Me
Monday, December 10th, 2007

Everyone has people who’ve impacted their lives.  Of course my thoughts immediately jump to my parents.  Their rules, restrictions, love, and support helped mold who I am.  But parents aren’t the only ones who affect us as individuals.  Our friends help too.  All my friends have had quite an impact on who I am.  I […]

Never…
Thursday, December 6th, 2007

I wonder when people will start being who they really are and stop being who everyone else wants them to be.  All people seem to be concerned about is fitting in with the crowd.  Nobody’s their own person anymore, they just want to be that person everyone likes.  Honestly, in your lifetime not everybody’s going […]

What’s The Point?
Tuesday, November 20th, 2007

What activity is so well suited to face-to-face contact that it can’t be replicated online? This question was asked by Ben Wilkoff, on his Discourse about Discourse blog and eventually teachers and adults involved in the field of education will need to face it. They’ll face a major decision sooner or later: Do we continue […]

Rocking Out
Thursday, October 11th, 2007

When we were given the assignment to listen to a podcast of any topic of our choice, my mind went blank.  I sat down in my basement and glanced at my electric guitar.  Then it hit me.  The guitar is an instrument with so many different possibilities.  But how much did I really know about […]

Announcement Blogging

Just today, I learned my cousin is going to have a baby girl!  She just got married in May, and I can’t wait to see the new arrival!  February will be the month of the birth.  Yay!

Life Without Fear
Wednesday, September 26th, 2007

What would you do if you weren’t afraid?
I’ve never asked myself this question.  But now that I’ve actually thought about it, I find this question actually really interesting.  Honestly, I’d probably end up seriously injuring or even killing myself.  I’d probably end up jumping off buildings, and climbing cliffs.  I’d try dangerous things because if I […]
