Charity for the Homeless, Update

 We've made some awesome progress on our Experiential Learning Project, especially Ben (as always). Specifically, we've gotten everything wrapped with the brochure, we've drafted the presentation, and the interview I conducted is now transcribed and ready for our presentation. I loved working with Gabriel's Horn, and I hope I can see the staff again, they were truly some of the kindest people I've met. One oversight I didn't address is that they're very religious, which is probably pretty apparent to others when they read "Gabriel's Horn", and somehow not me. Though they're religious, they do not push these beliefs on their tenants, which is uncommon and pretty admirable.

Blog Posts are the Best

 Hey Dr. Kyburz! I'm just gonna leave the date on this one actually representative of when I wrote it. Sorry, I knew you said you'd pull your hair out and all that if we posted on the 22nd, but I feel like its a good last post for this half of the semester. These blogs are an amazing idea! This is the most fun I've had in an English course since junior year of high school, I feel like I can actually put my thought onto paper, and someone cares . Maybe doesn't care to the point of reading these 100% through, but still cares regardless. This blog has been a great place to vent some internal frustrations, and I feel as if this style of teaching is very beneficial to our mental health and academic experiences. So, pretty much, great job Dr.! Thank you for this opportunity! :)

October, and the Seasons

 Happy October 1st! A lot of people are pretty excited for their normal Fall stuff, coffees and orchards and all that. I'm just glad it isn't so freaking hot outside anymore, I can't stand wearing short sleeves. My girlfriend and me when to Chicago! It's one of our favorite spots, and we had a phenomenal time. The city can put life into me like not much else can, and I feel like myself when I walk through crowded streets and angry traffic.

Charity for the Homeless

 In this month's project, we're hitting a little closer to home by supporting a non-profit organization of our choosing and organizing a group to accomplish a determined goal. I've teamed up with Ben, Kalista, and Bri to help a local womens-and-childrens homeless shelter by the name of Gabriel's Horn. Personally, I'm directing an interview with the current owner of the shelter, and hopefully I'll be able to interview one of the residents.
