A Little Bit

other a little bit and to learn about the dynamics of the class a little bit also. This is when I realized this class was going to be different than any other I’d taken before. I was going to experience being a minority for the first time. I am a white, Catholic, upper-middle class girl who has lived in the suburbs her entire life. Nothing about me has ever screamed ‘minority’. I was one of five students who aren’t black and one of three white students. I have to say, at first it was a little…

I haven 't paused to blog for some time now. With a crazy schedule for myself, kids, and family, there is often little time to stop and reflect. But this major milestone deserves some reflecting. And it deserves some shoutouts to some important people. And it just deserves to be written down for others to reflect on, find comfort in, and maybe offer thoughts as well. This isn 't one of my typical education and technology posts. In fact, it really doesn 't have much technology associated with it…

Step X: “You are here.” I am a sophomore at the college of CSB/SJU. I am a nursing student and take school very seriously. I think that being a nursing student takes dedication and commitment, which was important for me to learn in my first year of college. My concerns are centered around my future, family and friends. I believe that my concerns are very self centered because of the point of my life that I am in. I am trying to find out who I am and where I belong in the world. My interests are…

Ah! I heard the excited screams of thousands of people. We all had one thing in common. We were waiting for my favorite artist to strut onto the stage wearing a pair of silver, glittery shoes with her short blonde hair and white sunglasses. Can you guess who we were about to see? Yes! We were at Soldier Field about to see Taylor Swift’s 1989 World Tour. On July 18th it was a sweltering 96° F with a dramatic heat index making it feel as if it was over 107° F. It had been raining on and…

In the article, Appetite, Laurie Lee explained how humans take things for granted sometimes and she suggested that they need to get away from those things sometimes. She listed examples of things different than food such as people that we surround ourselves with and how we needed to get away from them too sometimes because that could lead to them getting too attached or they could get tired of each other. In the article she says, “So I think we should arrange to give up our pleasures…

to Christ. After I was done there, I took my wash out to be washed and talked with Asi Lulu and Asi Kefua a little. They said that someday that they are going to come to America. Asi Kefua said that she is going to teach Sunday school there. Next, I think I worked on packing a little before going down to Me Manthbi and Me Matoka who were doing my wash. I wanted to go down and watch a little to see how they wash the clothes. I wanted to know how they can wash clothes by hand without getting…

out to Butch who provided me with the dimension and I sent some picture I have on file. • While it has slowed down a little bit, I am still receiving quite a few emails from folks who were having a difficult time finding their online memorials posted for the September blessing. I find the tool to be a bit tricky and have been able to help several people after playing with it a bit. For those that I cannot find, no matter how hard I tried, I send over to the donations staff. • Charlene…

not very stable so he lined himself up with it and backed up. He charged shoulder first into the wall and it crashed down with a bang. Brandon really hoped the woman wasn’t home because if she was she definitely heard that. He looked around for a little when found a room with an unlocked door. It was a small, windowless room with a lit candle on the wall. Everything seemed ancient and there was dust everywhere, except for a small leather book on the desk across from Brandon. He grabbed the book…
