Week 8: Progress

Progress chart image: Source
So far, I am really happy with my progress. In the beginning, I was wary of how my blog and my website would turn out. I am very excited about how they are coming along. With as hectic as the last semester has been, I am actually pretty proud of how things are coming along. Unfortunately, I have not been taking advantage of the extra credit opportunities like I should, but I look forward to doing some more in the future. The assignments I enjoy the most are actually the reflective assignments. Too often, we get caught up in the semester. We don't find any time to look back and see how far we have come. Time flies too fast when we live this way. The semester is half-way over and I did not even realize it. Looking forward, I hope that I can take better advantage of extra credit opportunities like I said that I would. I hope that I can get ahead of the assignments! That is my biggest complaint with my work this semester, I have been waiting until the last minute to complete assignments. This happens about 75% of the time. Hopefully over spring break I will be able to get ahead of myself and save myself some time for the busy weeks to come.

Introduction to a Future Teacher, Ex Wrestler

Hello Friends!         My name is Mikayla Chandler, I am a Junior here at the University of Oklahoma, and I am studying Secondary Language Arts Education. My go-to fun fact? I wrestled for 8 wonderful years of my life on an all-boys wrestling team. The years I spent wrestling were some of the most formative years of my life. If I was not studying to become a teacher right now, I would be training for the 2020 Olympics. The coolest thing about my major? I get to do what I love for the rest of my life. I cannot wait to teach English (hopefully on the high school level) to the next generation of young adults. I think it is beyond cool that I get the opportunity to become a teacher, I cannot think of anything I would rather be doing. Last semester I was enrolled in 18 hours while working nearly full-time, so I guess I am not really sure what class is my favorite, they all made me cry regularly. My favorite class was honestly probably my Young Adult Literature class,...

Week 4 Story Lab: Summer of 1986

1986 Banner,  Source Story Lab; Microfiction Summer of 1986 It was not hard to make friends in a small town like Verona, Texas. When you go to school you are practically assigned a couple dozen friends for life, no one really left our small town, and no one really came in. There is something to be said about this sort of extreme consistency, but I never really found it bland. I had my couple of friends, of course, but it was more obligatory friendship rather than a close bond, and maybe that’s why I was seeking more. In the summer of 1986 my mom had heard on the radio about a few girls my age going missing in some of the neighboring towns, the reporter summed it up to them running away with their boyfriends, so mom quit allowing me to see Peter and sent me away for the summer to make some new friends. Mom said the girls who ran away with their boyfriends were just bored and needed stimulation, thus earning me a one-way ticket to the YWCA camp that a few of my friends were...
