To save his life, he joins a gang and is forced to do things he abhors. When an opportunity to escape this deadly world is offered to him, he accepts gladly. A football scholarship to a small rural Kentucky college could be his ticket out and a life free of violence and fear. But will his gang let him go, and worse, when they find out he lied to them to break away, will they retaliate? Find out in my new ebook release at [link removed].
I have been rejected twice. Twice because I refused to believe that they wouldn't forgive my loans. I've been teaching special ed preschool in a low income school for 9 years! I am up for doing whatever we can

I teach literacy/reading, and I've really started to focus in on quality reading, typically Pulitzer books. Here's a great book list for that purpose.
Measure-Matic - English/Metric is a great software for both educators and students to have a hands on approach with learning to read and make measurements.
The single user license is now FREE for private use only, and school system to trial.

Hello Everyone,
I have been a UOP student for nearly a year now, and I love it.

I have been a UOP student for nearly a year now, and I love it. I completed my first two years at a public university on campus, and decided to transfer when I was faced with the choice to attend online or take a break. Not everyone can afford to attend college full time on a campus without working a full time job as well.
As a working adult, I treasure the opportunity to complete my degree online. I have to admit that I was a bit skeptical at first, but only because of negative comments such as those seen here. No one can truly appreciate the value of a UOP degree except for those who call themselves a "Phoenix". I have learned more through my online experience than I could have hoped to learn in a classroom setting. I found UOP to actually be more of a challenge. The online campus engages students by way of teamwork, debate, and intense discussion every week. Every five weeks I am given the opportunity to work with a new team comprised of members from all over the world. We share our experiences and learn the power of teamwork. I find myself participating in class discussion more now than ever before.
Online education teaches students a strong sense of independence, but also offers the strong support of faculty members. I've had one or two instructors that could be considered unfavorable, but I've found such on campus as well. The Phoenix experience offers the opportunity to further your education while applying your education simultaneously in the workforce. This helps to integrate education and experience, which when combined are superbly valuable.
I could sit here and share quite a few bad experiences from the other college I attended, but what good would that do? That is life. If an experience does not fit your lifestyle, move on and find another that does. Phoenix may not work for the lifestyle of another, and that is why there are other options out there. I understand that new ideas and change often bring out the critical side of people. I truly believe that online campuses are the future of education. Technology is forever improving, and computers are now the way of the world.
All I ask is that people respect the hard work and effort that I put towards my education. I am proud to be a Phoenix, but I take offense when I see comments stating that UOP students do not work as hard as other students. If you do not believe that I work hard, you need to educate yourself a bit more to understand the self-discipline, technological experience, and well-spent time that goes into being a Phoenix.
I rest my case.
