This was a beautiful spring day to go bee hunting. Why hunt bees you ask? Well, I did not have a choice. My biology teacher had us do a class observation on bumble bees . It was actually really fun.I enjoyed it one thing that I learned about bees is that despite what AA Miller writes, not all bees live in hives and make honey. I think , I heard this about a year ago( I am a tad behind in these videos all of these videos are from the spring 2012 semester). Do you guys know anything about bees ?

Able to go to College Episode Seven:Omi turns two
Another weekend edition of able to go to college. This weekend was my cousin daughter's second b day. I had to miss basketball practice to attend but I think the cuteness made missing hoops worth it. Omi is very spoiled girl she is the youngest kid on my mom's side of the family, the youngest used to be princess, but she is a high school senior in the video and has since went to college. Ironically Omi loves Princess it must be because she used to be the youngest in the family.
Fun fact Omi's dad is a former NBA player.

As the year comes to a close
My heart goes out to all the families who have lost loved ones this year, especially those who lost them due to violence.
When I went to see Les Miserable someone set off a stink bomb and I was so scared I thought it was a shooting.
All through school we did lock down drills, yet never in a million years did I thing someone would harm me or my classmates at school.
My hope for the United States is that their will not be any massive shootings in 2013. To all the family members, I offer my condolences but know that our whole Nation morns with you and I morn with you . I hope the world will be safer in the new year. Everyone has a role to play in making our nation safer for everyone. Treat others the same way you want to be treated.

Past people that helped me get An A
So this is one, of two essays, that I aced for American Literature. I got an A-, although I did all the work a lot of people helped me get this A lets take a look
Parents
Shortly after I was born , I was introduced to the world of words though Good night moon. I have a picture of my Dad reading it to me in the hospital 21 years ago, I know I am old. When I came home from the hospital my parents continued to read to me before bed. I had a lot of books at home when I was growing up.
Early intervention/ Pre school
I went to a family support program at SF State. They provided my tiny body with lots of stimulation so I would be as indepent as possible. I had trouble talking so they taught me ASL so I could communicate with the world. I was beginning to have control over my environment.
When I went to pre school my teachers taught me the ABC's and how to use the computer. They continued to work on my speech and pretty soon I was talking in full sentences . I needed to understand how to use sentences in order to write them for the essay.
Pre-K
First year of inclusive education. The teachers helped me with the basics so I would be ready for kindergaten. All of this was done at a private non special needs school. This was private school inclusion.
Kindergaten
I get to learn phonics and letters with fellow kindergartners. I also learn how to type. This was a typed essay.
First grade
Kept on learning no highlights here except that I got diagnosed with NLD in edition to CP.
Second Grade
Writer work shop learned how to organize thoughts in a way that formed. Plus it was fun I was able to put my active imagination to work.
Fourth grade
My teacherforced insisted that I begin doing my own homework independently. I also learned about spell check
Fifth grade
Leaned all about writhing essays. Those classic five paragraph papers.
Middle school
Started analyzing stories looking for themes and foreshowding.
High School
Leaned how to integrate quotes, Leaned different ways to start a sentience
College
college I would learn about noun prase appositives and critical thinking and analyzation skills.
All these things helped me get an A in American Literature . All these people believed that I was capable of learning and gave me a chance to try. If any of these people had thought " Hay, this girl is disabled and does not act right she can not learn any of this then It would have been a lot harder on my current teacher to give me the skills so that I could be ready to learn, which would latter lead to an A.
Most of my writing skills I learned alongside able bodyied peers. If any of my teachers OT, PT's,ST's, aides etc are reading this thank you for helping me learn alongside my peers. I know I was not the easyiest student to teach but I got something out of it Feel Free to leave a comment thanks You guys are Amazing and have helped me realize my abilities.
