I chose all of the above stories because I remembered a lot of them from childhood, and I was drawn to the familiarity of them. I am really excited to get to read different versions of stories that I grew up hearing, and getting to dig deeper into the nitty gritty of these tales. I am most excited about Bible Women, Arabian Nights, and Alice in Wonderland. I was honestly surprised at the number of stories that we got to choose from, but also the number that I actually recognized. I definitely did not expect to really see any stories that I knew, so I was very excited to see some familiar titles.

Mary and Martha by Gustave Dore

I chose this photo because I love the story of Mary and Martha and I am so excited to read it in a different perspective during the Bible Women Unit, and hopefully learn more from this story.

Introduction to Pip

Hi friends! Welcome to my blog :) My name is Piper, but most of my friends call me a slew of nicknames like Pipe, Pipey, Pipes, Pipeydoodle, Pip (hence Pip Pip Hurray)... you get the point! I am a student at the University of Oklahoma, and I am currently finishing up my last semester before I graduate (don't remind me, I'm getting emotional about it). I am from Tulsa, OK originally, and I would love to go back someday, but my future is pretty up in the air right now so I am not sure when that might be. I am studying Health and Exercise Science with an emphasis on Pre-Occupational Therapy, and the goal would be to start OT school in Summer 2020. I'm super passionate about people and forming relationships, which is what drew me to OT. I love the idea of working in a profession that allows me to make new friends, love others, and solve problems all at the same time. As well as my many nicknames, my friends call me an old lady at heart. I love to read (most recent book- Where...

Week 5 Story- The Genie's Awakening

Oh, it's dark in here. It's really, really dark in here and I am tired of the dark. I have been in this ring for years and years...I lost count after my 563rd year. I just gave up hope at that point. I used to rehearse my lines every single day, hoping that someone would rub the ring and let me get out of this dark hole! Now I just sit here, somber and bored, waiting to die. Which I know won't ever happen because genies don't die. We just sit in the dirt of the ring, waiting. All of my friends that were down here got to leave. Their rings were rubbed by not mine! It's just not fair. I hate the way I've become; negative, lame, and boring. I just cannot help it though, I am sad and I won't stop being sad until someone lets me out of here! Genie by Cool Silh The reason I am so willing to get out is because one time, just once, I was out of the ring for a day. Someone accidentally touched the ring when they were digging for some other piece of treasure...

Pip Pip Hurray!
