Loss of a Great Man

So we all just found out that my grandfather has passed away. He was old but not too sick, so this was unexpected. As a tribute to him, I have decided to make myy YouTube video about him. I know it is recommended to record ourselves but right now that would be tears and pain. I have been pouring my heart into this video about him...its 12 minutes now but i will shorten it for the assignment. So this is all I have to say at the moment....RIP Grandpa; you will always be loved!

Perfect Shopping

Im dating a boy who absolutely loves video games. I swear he would play them all day long if he could. Well yesterday we went to a midnight release of a new game at the mall. I was standing in line with a bunch of video game crazy guys who were so very anxious to get this game. This is when I noticed how very empty the mall was. There was no one there; the stores were quiet and orderly. I only wish that I could shop all the time with the mall like that. I would be so productive if there was no one else shopping and everything was neat and clean. I would be less frustrated with the people who are stupid and less stress with searching in the mess that comes with people shopping all day long. This would be the perfect time to shop; if only it was possible. :)

What I bring to my classroom

In my EDUC 410 class, (or Creative Classroom), we were asked what special talent or hobby we would incorporate in our classroom. As people were giving examples, I could not think of any talent, hobby, or special interest I would bring to my class. I drew a blank. I started to feel insecure of my abilities to be a teacher. So I began to ask those close to me the qualities that would make me a good teacher. One friend told me my abilities to relate to others and listen makes me special. I am good at art and love music. Right there could be three themes of my classroom. I was starting to feel better but continued my search. I was talking to my mom and we talked about my love of shopping. This could be used to create a class store or in any lesson for any subject. Shopping could apply to math, using multiplication, division, addition and subtraction to find totals, in science dealing with animals and how to care for them (what items you may need to buy for a certain animal). My insecurity has now turned to awareness of how a little fun act could be turned into a classroom lesson or theme.

The tough questions that make you look inside yourself allow each person to find their best qualities on the inside.
