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 11 Storytelling: The not so Wiley Coyote

Once there was a coyote, and all he wanted in life was a friend. He often caught himself watching all of the other animals, saddened, thinking to himself, "I wish I could fly like the bird" or "I wish I had such beauty as the ." But all of the other animals were warned about the coyotes kind. They were warned to stay away, because he was a dangerous creature. The coyote wanted to prove to the town that he was actually good, so he devised a plan that would surely show all the other animals that he was not bad. The coyote began to gather flowers and plants of such beauty, and he began to weave them into a banner that he planned to hang above the two main trees in the village. As he was setting up this banner, he noticed a roadrunner trot by and as he was admiring him, he forgot to attach the final piece of vine that would fully attach the banner. The other animals began to notice what the coyote was doing so they approached him. As the coyote was standing by, he...
