Things You did not Know about Me

When I first did a blog about myself, there were things that I left out. I was not sure what to put in. I was born and raised here in Georgia for fourteen years. This was the only home, only town that I had ever lived in. During that time, I had a hard time with school. I was slow, I did not understand things the way that everybody else did. That right there tells you one common problem that all schools have today. They automatically assume everybody can learn at the same speed, the same way, and in the same amount of time.

Back to the topic, I was having a really hard time learning in elememtary school and was put in special education classes. For almost three consecutive years I did hardly anything in those special ed classes that I did not benefit from them. In the spring semester of my sixth grade year, my mom was able to get out of those classes and back into mainstream classes. That felt good, actually being back and learning with everyone else in my class. But in seventh grade, I had to be pulled out because I was failing all of my classes, so I was home-schooled.

For a year and a half I was home-schooled, helping my sister's wedding decorations, shopping, and was also in the process of moving. In January of 2002, my mom and I moved down to Ft. Walton Beach, Fl. There we found a nice, small home in a old, quiet neighborhood and loved it. In the fall I, attended Calvary Christian Academy and entered into a whole new world. Everything was new, the environment, teachers, students, grading scale, and whole different way of doing things.

I did not do anything that wasextra-curricular, because I was adjusting to a whole new life altogether. It was my sophmore year when I decided to join the volleyball team. That was really fun and I really enjoyed it. I did the Bible Quiz Team for three years, Spring Plays for three years, Christmas Plays my freshman and Senior years, volleyball for three years, school competition for four years, school choir for three years, and I was a teacher's aid during my senior year.

During those four years, I go to know not only the other students there, but I also got to know my teachers as well, and in turn got to know me as well. I developed a friendship with each of them, still have that friendship to this day. The Administrators that came to CCA during my four years there all had something to contribute. They each showed how much they cared, and I also had the oppotunity to befriend them as well.

Just after I graduated my family and I moved back here to Warner Robins. I was devastated and did want to move at all, but I had to. I am the baby of three daughters, so for that reason and others, my parents wanted me close for my first year of college. I did not want that either, but now I am glad that I did stay close for the first year, because I was not as prepared for college as I thought I was. I still struggle with it at times, but I work my way through it and somehow and some way I get through it.

Now here I am, almost done with my first year of college and it feels good. Being it is my first year, it has proven to me time and again not only how much of a challenge it would be, but an adventure as well. I have enjoyed this experience with all its bumps in the road, but I know that it will continue to be an adventure. There is always some kind of adventure waiting to be explored, whether it be in school or whether it be in life. That's how I look at it anyway.

What do we do in situations like this?

What do we do in situations like this?

In situations like this one it is hard to determine whether or not gilbert's wife asked him to kill her. This may be true, but if there is no record of any kind that can support this theory. In a police investigation, there are three things they need to have to charge someone of murder. Means, motive, and opportunity, are what they need.

I, personally think that anything is possible. what did gilbert's wife have that he wanted, to kill his wife over? Today, we have medicines, and other things that help people, or at least try to help people, to get through this disease that they have. Yet some people just don't want to deal with friends and loved ones who has this disease, so they put them in nursing homes while being able to visit them on occassions. Now yes, there people who can not care for others in the way they may need, so in that case putting someone in a nursing home is okay.

But some elderly do not wish to go into a nursing home, because either they know someone who is in the nursing home with alzheimer's, or they are afraid that they may end up like that. Both of my grandparents do not want to go into the nursing home, because they have both seen first-hand what it is like to live in a nursing home. My grandfather keeps his mind sharp by keeping up with their finances, works with his computer, plays scrabble every week with his wife and friends of theirs.

So, there are ways to stall alzheimers, but not everyone does that. I do not think that gilbert should have killed his wife. Even though she may have asked him to do so. He could have tried to do something, but she could have had something that he wanted, but could not get it unless she was dead. What was it that she had, that he wanted? was it money? or could she have really wanted to end life like this?
