Alex's first blog

My name is Alex Vanhouten, I live in Bucyrus. I am currently in the Radiography program, but looking to change into the animal science field that was recently offered. I work at Ohio Department of Transportation in the summer, which is a good fit to my schedule because I have weekends off to enjoy my favorite months. Something unique about me is that I have survived Lemierre's disease. Once get my degree I would like to relocate to a warmer state to work, preferably by a beach.


In chapter two the quote that caught my attention was on page 27."There's a great deal of this automatic and insightful kindness in the hearts of many of these children who been acquainted with unusual degress of loss and sorrow by the time they're eight or nine years old." I also liked that fact that the author not only introduced pineapple, but really captured how the children feel. That really even after all of the sadness and dispare in their lives they manage to be happy young children.
