Indy Teach Poem

I feel cool
Paris Hilton sightings
Nicole Richie suicide watch
Merely evidence that we were, in fact, present
The "cows" are out
like a flea infestation, multiplying

Fire Write

Something that really angers me is the anti-war protesters outside the funerals of fallen soldiers. I realize that everybody has their own opinion, but there is a time and a place for everything and a funeral is not the time nor the place. I recently attended a funeral of a soldier killed in action, these protesters were outside the church holding signs and and yelling inappropriate comments. I think of the families of these young men and women and it makes me so angry that someone would have such disrespect for someone serving our country. You can disagree with the war, but it should not become personal.

Re-Introduction

Okay, as most of you know, my name in Jennifer Bagladi, although I usually go by Jen. This is my last semester of taking classes, as next semester I will be student teaching. I am really excited for that, and am looking forward to getting some real "hands on" experience. I am currently taking 21 credits, so I am always busy with school.

My previous degree was in social work and psychology so I hope to be able to do something with that in the school I teach in. Other than that, I like to run, hang out with friends, and go to the beach in the summer. Also, my boyfriend returned from a 9 month deployment in Iraq, so I am enjoying spending time with him.
