Bio
I am a person who really likes to read and write and to share what I learned with all my education. My page will mainly be book reviews and critiques of old and new books that I have read and will read. There will also be other bits, too.

American history
I hope there are some teachers both old and new and even student teachers out there that might like some blackboard notes for an American history class that could be either 9th or 10th grade. I am a person who has studied teacher education, but decided to become an educational writer after working for 15 years in the nursing field. As an educational writer I plan on writing and sharing various lectures and lessons dealing with all the subject areas that I have studied from courses in early and elementary education through the high school years, and I am also thinking about offering some of my own lectures for the courses I had in undergraduate and graduate education. The fields that I have studied were Human services/counseling; Practical nursing; Humanities with all the subjects that will entail and I hope that some of these lectures will come in handy if only for research purposes.

Adlerian
In the Adlerian therapy mode I do try to re-orient, re-educate to bring a balance with what may happen with their bodies and minds and spirits. In working with this and any population you have to encourage and actively listen to what is going on with them and give them ideas to motivate themselves to get better. Also, in motivating patients you are as a counselor, nurse or whatever you are you will use several means to get through to them.

Adlerian
This is my paper that started my graduate school education that started with learning to be a counselor and ended up achieving a doctorate in Education, but more specifically in Reading and literacy leading to research and writing. I found out there are a lot of correlations between education and counseling in various areas. I am still interested in writing and sharing my ideas using various counseling theories. This is actually a 15 page paper that was handed in a few weeks before the end of the semester to see what particular theory that we would probably use in our practice or whatever we were planning to do in the future.

The Cave
This is another story that I wrote for a Creative writing class during undergrad. This is a children's mystery that I was told by my fellow classmates/critics as an example of the 'Encyclopedia Brown' stories. I will be making a few changes and I hope they will be for the better of the story. I feel my writing aptitude has improved since 1990 when I had taken this course.

An American Revolution Story
This is a story or rather a play that I wrote for a Creative writing course I enrolled in during my Junior year in college. There will be mistakes for this was or is my first attempt at being a playwright or maybe a scriptwriter. If I remember right the other writing majors were quite strict in their reviews of the story (play), but the professor stated that it was a good attempt.

Exploring BitCoin
In this sample book by Kalle Rosenbaum entitled 'Exploring Bitcoin' there are two chapters that give the readers an introduction to the subject of Bitcoin. There are also a samples of two chapters that describe important facets of Bitcoin. As a beginner that is and will continue to learn about various computer applications and programs I have always wondered how this application worked especially when dealing with financial matters.

Principles of Cloud Design
Here is my second review/lesson about computer applications. This one is entitled 'Principles of Cloud Design' by David Clinton. David has written in the introduction it is all about efficiency and effectiveness from your cloud infrastructure. This sample book will show to some extent how to plan a cloud deployment of any kind. It also mentions about the practice behind availability, scalability, and elasticity to get the full benefit of the software driving the cloud engines. This sample book is comprised of several other authors contributing their chapters. The three chapters that I read and reviewed are all by these separate authors and their combined knowledge.

Inside Deep Learning Math, Algorithms, Models Using PyTorch with CoLab
This will my first in a series of computer book reviews using sample books from a site named manning.com. I am only a beginner, but I am learning a lot and want to share what I am learning. To begin with I am not a 'math' or 'computer' person, but I do understand the math vocabulary and the math symbols. As I stated I am only a beginner and always probably will be in learning about computer applications and programs.

Hello, President Biden
Dear President Biden: I am just a concerned citizen and would just like to wish you a lot of luck in your new position as The President of the United States. Hate to say this about myself, but I am not a voter in political elections. I am one of those apathic people that just goes out everyday and does there jobs whatever that may be.

What I Know....
In my 'What I Know' articles I am going to start writing up my lecture notes from my Abnormal psychology course that I had taken when I was studying how to be a human service worker. My major was Human services and then I declared a minor in Psychology. This was a really fun class to go to and study. What is Abnormal psychology? As I progress through my notes we will learn what this subject is pretty much all about, and if anybody is interested I can do the same for a Psychopathology course as well. Again, I had this course in the early 21st century and I know there may be changes. This is just to give readers an introduction to what the course is generally about.

The BirchBark House
How many readers out there like Native American stories. Quite awhile ago I did find out that I am a little bit Native American from way back. One of my ancestors must have fell in love with a member of the Iroquis nation of Western Pennsylvania. I know that I am one who likes to read Native American stories for I just finished reading one children's/young adult novel entitled 'The Birchbark House' a story about the Ojibwa Indians. This is a story for all seasons and will teach us about how diverse Native Americans were during the historical periods of the Americas.
