Proud
Over winter break I worked at a non profit arts organization. Here is one of my projects. It feels great to look at that video and remember a time where I never thought I would be able to do something like this. Editing this video truly gave me the confidence to believe that it is [...]
Finding My Way Out of the Dark
This semester I am taking a course called “Counseling Students with Special Needs.” This course explores the various disabilities that a student/client may be diagnosed with and how to provide the best mental health care for these clients. I’ve always had an interest in disability services and am excited to be able to learn some [...]
Student-Teaching – Blog 1
Monday, I was placed at G. Ray Bodley High School in Fulton for the first half of the semester; the second half, I am at Oswego High School, which I’m very happy about because I don’t have a vehicle, and that’s well within walking distance. At first, transportation to Fulton was very inconvenient because I [...]
Life On The Other Side of the Diploma
People like me can’t be bored very long. We have to find something to do with our time…. otherwise, we find ourselves going crazy. It’s been a couple of months since my last post. During that time, I found myself constantly sitting down to write a blog entry, only to realize I had to run [...]
Winter Break So Far & Student Teaching Very Soon
It’s hard to believe that the break is almost over, yet it is; there is only a week until it’s time to go back to Oswego, and I have very mixed feelings about that. Normally, my sentiment would be, yes, yes, get me away from this godawful prison so that I can be in Oswego [...]
Winter Break
Slumber till noon A momentous break from tests, group meetings staff meetings Forever trapped in your own responsibilities Wrapped in your 9-5pm Held by the contraints of am’s and pm’s I thought I’d start this blogpost with a little poetry. So I have been on break for two weeks now, and I must say, it [...]
Practicum (Fall 2011) – Day 9
Today wasn’t very eventful. The students are taking a test on Friday of this week, a test on literary terms, so the student-teacher helped them study. He had developed a Powerpoint presentation for them that went through literary terms, and I found myself surprised by some terms with which eighth graders are not familiar, such [...]
Practicum (Fall 2011) – Days 7 and 8
On the seventh day of Practicum, which was November 29th, the student-teacher read a chapter of Call of the Wild to the class. There were two other Practicum students in the class with me, although neither was the one that I had previously met. The student-teacher talked a lot about leadership, encouraging the students to [...]
Globetrotter
So as this semester comes to a close, I’m so excited to be going to Cuba in the January with my photography class. I haven’t gone abroad (besides Canada) in over 8 years. Be sure to look out for all of the photos that I will take. For now, I am excited that my journalism [...]
Procrastination
Poetry is great way to de-stress, It is also a great way to procrastinate homework Enjoy this stream of consciousness Love promotes change Evokes deranged paranoia Assists insomnia Aids self awareness/self consciousness Encourages emptiness Delivers desperation Allows emotions to run free Love does a lot….more than anyone can ever handle.
