Fire at Hunts Point Terminal Market - SSR

Today at approximately 11 A.M, there was a fire at the Hunts Point Terminal Market. This fire gutted areas of the market. Four firefighters suffered minor injuries and were treated at hospitals in the area.  Unfortunately this has affected me personally, because my father works there. This has had a dramatic and detrimental impact on how i view here today and gone tomorrow without a blink of an eye due to negligence. When my mom called to tell me my dad was okay i couldn't help myself but to think what if he was not okay. It is crazy that anything can happen at any particular time. Sometimes i can be a bit of a pessimist, i thought about what will happen if he did not make it. This would have a major impact on my family. But thank god he is okay.

Dialectic Journals (CRR)

 Today in class we finished up our dialectic journals. I like these dialectic journals. These journals help me form my thoughts and ideas relating to the book we are reading (heart of darkness). I think this is a great way for you to understand text more because you are dissecting the reading and you are looking at it in a different perspective. In a dialectic journal you write observation and responses, thought provoking questions, a dialogue  with another person and final thoughts. Sharing with another person is also great because when you read some of their responses you start to also learn and see things that you might have not seen before.

Internet Problems


On November 6, 2013 I was assigned to complete a blog post for Ms. Hegeman's class. This goes for every Wednesday. Unfortunately I could not complete this project. I arrived home and my mother switched from cable vision to Verizon. This was a good choice. BUT, we had to change  the home network host, this means we have to set up the WiFi  and have to modify the computer settings to get the computer working to the internet. I looked for the Ethernet cables and I was wondering why I can not connect to a host. But like an idiot I forgot to look at the bottom of the router where it states the password for the connection to the WiFi  or the home network. I realized this very morning what had happened. So This is why I could not complete the assignment, but I completed it now. The struggle is real. But I had to take the initiative to assure I completed this assignment so that I can get the points and continue to pass Ms. Hegeman's class.
