Assignment Thoughts

This class is so unique! I have never been so challenged in my writing and it's only been one week. I find that assignment after assignment I am having to dig a little deeper into my thoughts and expand my ability to write clearly. As college students it is difficult to truly find a class that you are excited to take and anxious to dive into. As a junior, I had not necessarily found a class that fit this criteria until this specific course. I am really looking forward to the readings for this class as well as the discussions that will be able to take place afterwards. Additionally, I can't wait to visit my peers blogs, read of their thoughts, and engage in conversations about their lives. Write on!

The first time I had politely declined, much to the chagrin of my parents and coaches. But now, I was 14 years old and already had ...

Week 11 Story (Grandmother River's Trick)

The scurry of frightened fish often overpowered the otherwise serene waters of the river. It was a common scene. Just as the sun began to set and the first glimpses of nightfall arrived, you would hear the first painful cry of a mother fish mourning her new little babies. The predators often struck at night. It was easier for them to sneak around, without fear of being eaten themselves. Every living species in the river understood that being prey was a risk, but the recent uprise in baby fish death was due to the predators gluttony and greed. The mother and father fish were terrified. Every night when they went to bed, they would tuck in their baby fish and pray that they would awaken with them the next morning. Recently, more often than not, frightened parents wold awake in the middle of the night to the loud chomps and chews of the predator munching on their children. Each day the parents would grow angrier and angrier, but due to their size and position in the natural food chain, ...
