Project 3

I am truly big on raising awareness for domestic violence. So for project 3, I have decided to do my topic on domestic violence. Since domestic violence is such a controversial issue, I have decided to create a blog dedicated to those victims who are in abusive families, homes, or relationships. I am hoping this can be a place for current or former victims of abuse to share their stories to others publicly or anonymously. By sharing these stories, I strongly believe that these victims will encourage each other that there is hope and a future ahead of them. On the other hand, people can also go to this blog to post their concerns, questions, or views of domestic violence. By bringing these people together in this blog, I hope that it will unite victims full circle that love does not have to take place in a form of violence. Furthermore, my goal for this project is not just to inform people the effects of domestic violence, but there are other ways to bring people together to be more aware of this cause.

Project #3

Well, as I discussed in class there are two ideas I thought for project three. One was for retired teachers, stay at home mothers or anyone who has time and trained to home school children that have difficulty interacting with people, especially society. For example my little cousin was extremely shy his whole life and passed away about three weeks ago. Being comfortable with is behavior, we as family over looked his issues and now we ask ourselves why. Why did we over look or ignore his introverted personality? Could we have done something about this? Absolutely. So I wanted to bring awareness in bringing help other children that suffer from this.
The second idea was for twins to confirm to other people that they do have their own identity because people assume they are one soul that dwells in two identical bodies. A twin usually has to live under one of the two identities that are most noticeable to others. So twin stories and their own identity are very important for others to understand. For example my twin sister (identical) was very active as a child. She played sports, had a lot of friends, very social, and always was an honor roll kid, so people expected me to be the same way. I did try to match her at everything she did, but she became irritated and so did I because this was not who I was, it was who she was.
I decided to write about twin identities because writing about my cousin would be very sad for me and his mother. I would have to interview her with questions and it’s not a good time for her right now or the family.

A Possible Idea for Creating a Blog

Hey Everyone,

I think I have finally come up with a blog idea. I have really struggled with the idea of creating a blog site and what would be the purpose of that site. After weeks of brainstorming I have decided to create a blog that I think may actually help someone out. In class the other day we were discussing the difficulty that women have when they work and have children. In that conversation I discussed how I felt that it was a bad idea for me to have had my mom babysit full time for me while I worked. So, I have decided to create a blog with the top 10 reasons why you should not use your mother as your full time babysitter.

Please tell me what you think. Is this too negative? I hope not, because my point is to help show how to save a mother daughter relationship from hurt and hard feeling.

Here is a link to a site that has tons of blog layouts for Blogger.com! Once you have found a layout you like, copy the code for the layout & go back to Blogger so you can edit your layout!
To edit your layout go to your "Dashboard", then click "Layout". This will take you to a new page with some tabs near the top - you need to click "Edit HTML". On this page you can go to the bottom where you should see a text box that says "Edit template" & has a bunch of codes on there that won't make any sense to you.
Select the code in the text box & delete it, then paste the code from the layout you found!
Don't forget to save!!

Here is the Link to my blog!

Idea for Project 3

So after class on Tuesday, I thought about the random and various things we talked about and I am starting to form an idea for Project 3. I am a very positive person and I always try to find the good in every bad situation or learn something from the bad experience. So, for my Project 3 I am thinking about creating a blog called "Glass 1/2 Full." Kinda reflective of my view of "The glass half full, not half empty"and basically how I try to live my life. I thought it could be a place where people could go and blog about good things that happened to them that day. Maybe be able to pick a cyberspace drink that goes along with their mood, like on MySpace you can pick a smiley face to express how you're feeling. For example, today I completed my 40 hours of student observation with 6th graders, I could have enjoyed a cup of coffee and a place to write down how great it feels to be finished observing! I thought about having Bob Marley's "Don't Worry, Be Happy" song playing in the background. Also I thought about putting some videos from YouTube that are just funny to make people smile and laugh. Overall I want the blog to be a place where people can come and see the positive things in their lives instead of focusing so much on the negative.
