My Favorite Places: Juno Beach and Home

Hi everyone!

I picked Juno Beach as my favorite place. When I was younger, my family and I would visit our family in Florida over summer break. Every time we went there, my uncle would always take us to Juno Beach. We would swim, build sand castles, collect shells, and play games! Although this seems common and simple, I had the best time since my family was there. We also went to Sea World, Disney Land, and Universal Studios when we were in Florida!

My second favorite place is home. Even though most of the time I am trying to get out of Oklahoma, I find comfort just being here. Going to Lake Hefner and watching the sunset is calming for me. No matter how many times I see it, it is always amazing. Most importantly, my bed is here! Nothing is better than sleeping in your own bed!

    What a lovely pair of pictures, Avani! And of course the GODDESS Juno will be making an appearance in the Myth-Folklore class (the Classical reading comes at the start of the semester)... I checked Wikipedia and the town really is named after the goddess Juno. Maybe you could have a close encounter with the goddess herself there: anything is possible when you let your mythological imagination run wild! :-)

Introduction to a Physician Assistant

Image
Hi everyone! My name is Avani Patel, and I am a sophomore. I am majoring in Biology with the hopes of becoming a Physician Assistant.  I choose Biology as my major especially because of its versatility and because of my interest in the sciences. With Biology, I am able to learn the traditional side of the science, and the major itself is incredibly rigorous as it entails complex material and courses. Becoming a Physician Assistant is my goal, but I am still hesitant and unsure. As you can see, I am indecisive. Although this is the case, I am a very diligent student once I set my mind to something. This last year I was able to maintain a 4.0 GPA and obtain junior standing! In my free time, I love watching movies and sleeping! Netflix is something I am always on. My favorite shows right now are Grey's Anatomy, How to Get Away with Murder, and Patriot Act with Hasan Minhaj. This summer, I was able to do both - watch movies and sleep! My family and I also went to Texas, Arkansas, a

Week 7 Story: The Rice and The Man

Image
( The Broken Pot by John D. Batten) The updated version of the story is here on my Portfolio! In a small village in Gujarat, India, there lived a man named Vittap. His name evidently signified his behavior; he guarded his wealth closely.  One day, Vittap had gathered a surplus amount of rice grains from working in his neighbor's fields and begging in the village. Growing rice was no easy task. After eating the rice that same evening, Vittap put the remaining rice in a pot. The pot was hung over his couch so that he could bathe in its glory.  As Vittap became drowsy, he dreamed about his future with the rice. He thought, "My beautiful rice. Oh, how beautiful! If there is a famine, I will always have my rice. Wait, can the rice not make me some profit?" "I can buy a few goats with the rice and eventually have a family of goats!" "I can then sell the goats, and get a couple of cows!" "I can then sell cow milk and purc
