Acknowledgements

This project has been a delight and at times painful, but I am glad that there were others experiencing this right along side me. I want to thank God for allowing me to complete this task with my sanity. I thank my family for putting up with the all night study sessions. A great appreciation and affection for my instructor and fellow classmates has developed over the course of this summer—thanks gang! I also would like to thank Kanawha Public Library staff, Marshall University Graduate Library staff, PBS radio and PBS Legal Department, National Geographic information operators, and Mr. Peter Americo.

About the Author

I am Lekei Tolliver a 25-years-old Communication Disorders student at Marshall University. I graduated from Capital High School located in Charleston, WV. After a 3 years break following high school I attended West Virginia State College under major undecided, because they did not have Communication Disorders curriculum available. I attended West Virginia State College for 11/2 years then out of necessity I transferred to Marshall University where I am currently attending. Subsequent to graduating in the spring of 2003 with my Bachelor’s degree, I plan to attend graduate school to receive my Master’s degree. It is my desire to work abroad for several years, and then possibly return to the States to operate my private practice.

8th Summer Journal

Finally, I minute of peace so that I can concentrate on completing what I am doing now. This week has been somewhat slower than the previous weeks. I almost feel kind of strange taking a breather. Well on Monday night Ajnah head her head in Jcpenny’s (boy I was sacred—this is my BABY), she had headaches a couple of days following the accident, the knot and bruise is still visible…let me take my mind of this now. Today is Tony’s birthday he went out to dinner, the cake was really tasty...yum! My birthday is on August 13th the big 2—6 is approaching me at lightening speed. My cousin Patty is here from New Jersey she is a hoot! She was telling me about a lot of things that people like myself that live outside of New York would not here about concerning September the 11th, this stuff was really shocking. I use this as a journal to discuss what is going on during the week so that when I read back over this stuff I will have some context of what point in time the journal had been written.

Alright this week’s assignments included: unsubscribe from the “pro” mailing list, MRP Draft with preface, Acknowledgements and about the author, Peer Response and the Online Journal. I have finished all of the required assignments in a timely fashion I am pleased. There isn’t much to talk about by way of this week’s “doings”, except that the MOO was pretty interesting, being able to talk to others about what we are doing in this class. One of the teachers asked me about my project, but my computer service kicked me off right in the middle of them asking so I never got to answer them. I hope that they did not think that I was being rude—some things you just cannot help. I am glad that Mrs. Mccomas has allowed us to be open about our feeling towards this project good or bad, this creates an atmosphere for growth. I hope that we actually said something useful to these teachers. If they read our blogs why did they not make comments? Well, I have tried to focus on my MRP this week but I did not get as far as I would have liked to. One thing that I have found to be of difficulty is to have music while my slides advance, I think this is not possible because I have been going to this website that deals with PP in detail I it wasn’t there, so I have come to a different conclusion about what I am going to do. I think the Topic that I have chosen to focus on has great potential outside of school I ran into the SLP that inspired me to look into this field farther (can you believe this I haven’t seen him in 7 years—now that I am doing this project I run into him) we began talking about all the stuff I am interested. He said that there is a big mover in this field towards intercultural and corporate issues, he was surprised that someone so young and new to this field was thinking in that direction. We really had a good conversation, he told me that I am really going to enjoy my career—I was glad to hear that! Oh Mrs. Mccomas will you tell Mrs. Chezik that Mike Carr said hello, thanks.

Something that I learned this week is that this class was shorter than I expected now hat I have all these other questions arising. Is there a format that we should use for our preface, ack. and ATA section?

LOL,

Lekei
