My 1st grade teacher Mrs. Atchley

2009-04-08T13:21:00.001-07:00

my teacher was kind of like a mother to me....... she always treated me kindly and really made me feel good about myself.....

i didn't write this story/poem.......but this relates to kind of how my 1st grade teacher really just wanted what was best for me ( and so did my parents!!) :)

"Whose child is this?" I asked one day
Seeing a little one out at play
"Mine", said the parent with a tender smile
"Mine to keep a little while
To bathe her hands and comb her hair
To tell her what she is to wear
To prepare her that she may always be good
And each day do the things she should
"Whose child is this?" I asked again
As the door opened and someone came in
"Mine", said the teacher with the same tender smile
"Mine, to keep just for a little while
To teach her how to be gentle and kind
To train and direct her dear little mind
To help her live by every rule
And get the best she can from school"
"Whose child is this?" I ask once more
Just as the little one entered the door
"Ours" said the parent and the teacher as they smiled
And each took the hand of the little child
"Ours to love and train together
Ours this blessed task forever."

Looking back
At my past
Oh my goodness
It has gone by way too fast!

It seems just like
The other day
When we were in elementary school
Learning our ABC'S and 123's

Then came high school
I will say...
These are the most memorable years of my life

A lot has happened
And all so fast...
Soon is graduation
This is my class...

I've made many friends
But lost some too...
Some to accidents,
Some to deaths,
And some better left unsaid

You live from the past
And start over new
Life does go on
And that is what is keeping me strong :))

Miracle baby born two days after mother’s ‘death’ Doctors kept mom’s heart beating; 2-lb. infant delivered premature

A tiny baby girl gaining strength in an incubator in England is named “Aya” — Arabic for “miracle.” The name is not only beautiful but also descriptive of her birth: She was born two days after her mother was declared brain dead.

Jayne Soliman, a former British figure skating champion, was 41 years old and looked to be in perfect health as she carried the child she and her husband, Mahmoud, had dreamed of having. She was 25 weeks pregnant and working at her job as a skating coach on Wednesday, Jan. 7, when trouble signs appeared, according to a story reported Thursday for TODAY by NBC News’ Dawna Friesen.

“She said she didn't feel well, she had a headache and went home early,” Soliman’s friend, Abi Baldwin, told NBC News.

Once at home, Soliman collapsed. She was rushed to a hospital, where it was determined that she had suffered a massive hemorrhage caused by an aggressive tumor that had been growing undetected in her brain.

Between life and death
Soliman was declared brain dead, Friesen reported. But doctors kept her heart beating on life-support machines in the hope that they could save her unborn baby.

For two days, they fed the tiny fetus large doses of steroids through her mother’s blood vessels to force the baby’s lungs to develop.

On Friday, 48 hours after Soliman died, an obstetrician delivered Aya Jayne Soliman via Caesarean section. Soliman was disconnected from the machines that had kept her body alive, and shortly after, her heart stopped beating.

The infant weighed just over 2 pounds. Although she is in an incubator in a neonatal intensive care unit, Friesen said, “She is tiny, but perfect. And, friends say, will be showered with love.”

“It was Jayne's one true wish to be a mum. She would have been a great mum,” Mahmoud Soliman said in a statement to the media. “In the space of 48 hours I have experienced joy at the birth of my child and endured torment over losing my wonderful wife.”

Tragedy and triumph
“You can't help but be touched by the tragedy of the situation, that this is a mom that lost her life and a baby that won't know her mother,” Dr. Deborah Harrington, the obstetrician who delivered Aya, told NBC.

In 1989, Soliman became Great Britain’s figure skating champion and was ranked seventh in the world. She continued skating and coaching after her professional career ended. She met her husband while she was working in Dubai two years ago, according to British media reports.

Skater David Phillips, a 48-year-old colleague and friend of Soliman’s, told reporters in England that Soliman was ecstatic at the prospect of becoming a mother.

“To Jayne, becoming a mother was the best thing in the world that could have happened to her,” he is reported to have said. “She was so happy, she had always wanted to be a mum more than anything else. She lived to have a baby girl — that was the one thing she wanted in her life.”

A tearful Baldwin told NBC, “I hope that Jayne's spirit will live on in Aya, and every time Jayne's husband looks at Aya he'll realize how wonderful Jayne was.”

Memories of Coach Rhodes

2008-10-24T07:57:00.000-07:00

well i remember coach rhodes from freshman year; in class people would always forget there homework or not do it at all...and he would always say "Now that's why I don't have any hair, I have to put up with you freshmen". We all knew that he was not saying it to make us mad, so we all laughed. I remember Brittney Jackson (sorry gurll but i love u!!) would always forget to do her homework and coach would say "Jackson! Now Jackson...where is your homework!?" The way he said it would be so funny.... he also used to say "Well...I really don't know!" Oh and I can't forget that when someone has a birthday he would always sing to them....... so Happy belated birthday coach!!!!

Once upon a time there was this little bug who lived in Bugsfield. His name was Buggly. He was a tiny little bug who lived all by himself in a tiny little house. Buggly used to live in Tumbletown with his family, but he started going to Bugsfield College. One night there was lots of rain in Tumbletown, and everyone was told to leave. Well Buggly got the news and he worried about his family the whole time...His parents and baby sister Cuddly were flying to Bugsfield trying to get away from the rain...As they were flying, the rain started coming down really hard....
Meanwhile in Bugsfield, Buggly was conserned because he knew that his family should have been here by now... So he started looking for them... He was out all night searching and still couldnt find them...
The next day he went to Tumbletown and he seen his baby sister Cuddly crying while laying on a leaf by the Wiggly store...He came up to her and said come with him...She said that their parents had died.......so they moved back to Bugsfield and lived together forever!!!! THE END!

My Future

2008-09-12T07:56:00.000-07:00

Whenever I'm like out of college and around 30 years old....I will hopefully be married and have at least 2 children (a boy and a girl). If I'm not married by then, well... I'm probably never getting married. I will have a huge house with like 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a big pool in the backyard ( kind of like the houses you would see on MTV cribs)....yeah I would be married to someone who was rich and famous! I wouldn't have to work. :] Yeah my life would be great!
But unfortunately, we don't know what our furture holds, so I more than likely wont be rich, but this is kind of my "dream".

No Bonfire!!! :(

2008-09-05T07:58:00.000-07:00

It really sucks that we cant have a bonfire!!! Everyone (especially the seniors) was looking forward to this...it was a tradition for many years and now we cant even have one!!! I think that we all need to think of something to make a new tradition..
