I decided to start off the first 2 weeks with 2 stories I am very familiar with. I wanted to use these stories as a way to ease into these assignments, getting my grounding from stories I already know. However, this will also give me a chance to dive back into these stories and maybe pick up a new perspective. The picture below is of Sinbad the Sailor, which is a story I have brief memories of but couldn't tell you anything about it off the top of my head. I am excited for stories like that one and other stories I am familiar with the name of such as Beowulf and Brer Rabbit.

You probably can agree with me when I say that eyes are really weird, but at the same time I think they are super interesting and am excited for a future in optometry.

I don't care if it is foreign soccer in a language I don't even understand, I love following, watching and playing sports. If I could sit down and have a meal wi...

Week 3 Story: The Chosen Ant

  The Chosen Ant Many years ago, a very smart farmer began to toy around with genetics, creating a new species of insect. These small and ground-limited insects were named "Ants", and the farmer loved his creation and kept them close by on the farm to watch over them. However, in time, the ants began to rebel against the wishes of the farmer. As a whole, the species were lazy, always fighting with each other, and selfish in only looking out for themselves in food collection. The farmer noticed these changes, and were displeased with his creation, except for one ant whom he named Moah. Moah respected the farmer, still following the guidelines that were set in the beginning. One day, the farmer pulled Moah out of the boundaries of the farm to tell him he was going to start the population over, in hopes the next to come would be more respectful to his wishes. Moah understood, as he had seen the changes in the actions of his species. However, the farmer told Moah he had found fav...
