mj01’s Blog Post-This I Believe

This student had to write a story about something that he believed. He wrote his “This I Believe” story about what sports can do for a youth’s life. This student had some challenges that he had to overcome as a youth. He spent his time getting in trouble and not making good grades. This student was worried about everything but school. He found interest in a sport and that sport changed his life.  

My Response…

First, I introduced myself a an EDM 310 student at The University of South Alabama. Next, I thanked this student so much for sharing his post with me. Then, I went on to tell this student that I agreed with his pos and i thought that it was amazing that he was able to better himself. I loved that this student saw that if he wants something than he can achieve it. Nothing is unreachable if desired.

Sir. Bruno The Wise

Bruno was assigned to read a book called "Out of My Mind". His class and several others are participating in a global read aloud. Bruno participated in a silent challenge because the main character of the story could not talk. Bruno was partnered up and had to try and communicate with his partner without talking. Bruno admitted that this was a challenge and a situation that he would hate to be in.
