Out There

Looking at the scenario for this week I know the student has autism and is having outbursts that ranges from mild to moderate, from tantrums to crying or shutting down. To be able to de-escalate the situations of outburst, first I must learn about autism and what triggers a child to have outburst to help de-escalate the situation. Changing the environment for the student to prevent outburst is a good strategy to start with first. When child is having a tantrum, I must stay calm and talk with a…

Considering your current and future job, family, community and other responsibilities, please explain and illustrate or diagram how you will manage your time in order to accomplish the 400 plus hours of out-of-class homework assignments over the two and one half years of OFE. The next few years would be one of the best times for me to enroll in the Ohio Fire Executive Class. This past August my youngest daughter started her collegiate career and with that a lot of my time has freed up to pursue…

Considering Fun Home as a mystery novel, Bruce Bechdel’s death serves as the inciting incident which spurs Alison Bechdel to look through the “clues” -- memories, letters, photographs, etc. -- to formulate a judgment about her father’s life. Throughout the novel, it’s clear Alison’s relationship with her parents is tumultuous. Due to her father’s uptight, perfectionist nature, Bechdel finds it difficult to attain his approval and criticize him; moreover, she describes showing him affection “an…

I feel that I am very open to trying new experiences and have a very creative mind. However, on the personality test I scored relatively low in that section stating that I typically don’t seek out new experiences. I disagree with this because I am constantly looking for new ways to grow and learn. For example, with work, whenever my manager is seeking someone to take on a new task I am generally the first to volunteer. I am on the Health and…

up next on beam. “Up next on beam is Julianna Smith.” announced the announcer. My heart was pounding, my palms were sweaty, and stomach started hurting even more. I mounted on the beam. I did my first skill which was a back handspring step out, layout step out. I stuck it perfectly. I feel so confident when I’m on beam. This was the only time that I felt like I could do anything in the world and that was how I felt now. After I did my standing full twist, I knew all I had to do was stick my…

I saw some of my classmates who were raised by single mothers, but the gravity of their situations never fully penetrated my psyche. I had no idea that so many may have envied the way I lived. I was always the odd man out, and I got used to that; further burying myself in books. I was good in school, so I kind of skated. I was smart and I knew it, and I leaned on that crutch. I did not have to work hard for anything in school. But if I had known then what I know now…

This event shows how quickly things can change. To…

walked out of the room and out of the building. Once outside grandmom reached into her pocket, lifted Addy out and putting her on Mel’s shoulder. Arriving home in the middle of the afternoon, they decided to just have a snack, and for dinner, they will order Chinese food. “Is there anything you would like to have for a snack?” grandmom asked the fairy. “Not really,” the little one replied. “But I enjoyed the spaghetti we had last night.”“ I thought I saw you slip food out of…

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…
