Week 13 EC: Famous Last Words: Thanksgiving

This week I wanted to reflect on the topic of Thanksgiving, which is a fitting topic because we have much to be thankful for as we approach the last few weeks of the semester. I think a lot of times we take for granted things in life, and in this post I want to reflect on some of the things I take for granted but am most thankful for.

First, my education, is something that is truly a blessing because I have been able to show off and better the talents that I have been blessed with. I am very thankful that I got to go to an amazing high school and the best university in the country. There is so much to be thankful for within this, because all of my hard work in school is finally paying off and I have officially accepted a full time job starting this summer. It is truly amazing to see how far I have come in life, and I wouldn't have been able to do this without my amazing educational opportunities.

Second, my talents, which goes along with the first thing. This is something that is truly taken for granted because everyone has different talents and its important to be thankful for the ones you have been given. In addition, its important to take these talents and allow them to grow, whether it be in school, work, friendships, and anything in life, we must always be thankful for the special talents we have been given.

Finally, my friends and family, are something I take the most for granted because they have just always been there, no questions. In reality, I am so thankful to have these people in my life because they make waking up every day worth it, and I have something to make myself better for.

In the end, just remember to thank God for everything you have been blessed with and show some love to your family and friends, especially this holiday season.

Introduction

Hey everyone, my name is Stephanie Krawczyk. I'm from Tulsa, Oklahoma and I am beginning my senior and final year here at the University of Oklahoma studying Chemical Engineering. Although there are a lot of cool things about m major, I think the coolest thing about my major is that even though I have learned so much in my time here, there is so much out there to discover and continue learning! I love my family and I love that Tulsa isn't too far of a drive from them. And they can make the trip up to see me too. I have a younger brother, Adam, who just moved into his freshman year at the University of Arkansas, and I am so excited to see where his life takes him in the next couple of years. Also I have one dog who is the coolest dog in the whole world (even though all dogs are amazing). Her name is Kacy and she's 10 years old. I always make my parents send me pictures of her. Here is a picture I took of her: One of my other favorite things is food. I can't think of

Week 3 Story: The Parable of the Pups

There once was a family of purebred French bulldogs. They were very well off but they had never been challenged, and the mother and father began to worry that her pups were going to turn out spoiled and rude. The father was always out hunting for food for the family, so usually the mother was with their three pups. It had been a long time since the pups had seen their father. One day a dog who looked like their father began to walk towards their house, however, it was actually a mutt. The pups saw him in the distance and ran to greet him because they were overjoyed that their father had returned! They each brought with them a present to welcome him home with. The first pup brought his favorite toy with him, the second pup brought her favorite brush with her, and the third pup brought with him the most delicious treat that he had been saving to eat after they finished their chores. When they approached the dog that looked like their father they began to realize that this dog was not th
