For him to be in a part of the world that was tumultuous at the time of him building schools, I admire his passion. Reading Mortenson’s life story in “Three Cups of Tea” by him and colleage David Oliver Relin, empowers me to get things done that I […]

Whether it’s your own family or personal duties of a single person, it can still be overwhelming. If balance is absent from your life, the quality of your life is […]

It wasn’t easy. Trying not to step on anyone’s toes, trying to fit, making sure this was the right career choice to pursue, all in one nutshell was definitely a memorable task. The main thing is that you […]

The FACS curriculum was based on vocational learning until recent changes which focuses on standards. I think it will set a framework for teachers that teach whatever they want and persuade them not to leave out ELA standards Math in their plans. More so, teachers […]

When we make up our lesson plans we are have to make sure we reach the student in more than one subject area. Paying attention to the […]
