Raleigh county negro schools

This photo presentation means so much to me personally. I am in education because of my family. My grandparents were teachers who broke bounds and rules. My grandmother taught her students about college though few would ever be able to go. My grandfather became the 1st black assistant superintendent in the U.S. then became the 1st black superintendent in the U.S. My grandmother kept meticulous records of everything that happened from the 30's onward. I am grateful to be able to have the records my grandmother kept. My grandmother taught in a one room school house for many years before moving to Indiana and teaching in IPS. I never knew my grandfather but my grandmother made me feel like I knew him. My grandmother was born in 1910 and she was my living history book. I look back in sadness at the shape of these schools but so proud that my grandmother never let that define herself or her students. The entire county has 1 bus for the negro students but they still attended, to better themselves. My grandparents are the reason there are black teachers and why there are black administrators. I am so proud of my grandparents, I hope to make advances in special education the way my grandparents made advances in negro education.
This is the first times I've made anything out of my photos. I am so excited to do this with the 100's of photos and data my grandmother had. I love being able to send this to other family members. Unfortunately only 2 people other than myself are alive on my dad's side. My favorite part of the project was adding the thought bubbles above my granparents. It was a great way to add extra information without it covering the entire picture with text. I also learned to click "Post options" to allow comments on my post. When typing my post I have to select post options and allow reader comments so people can comment on the post.

Setting up my blog 2

So far I have added pictures, a poll, and my jewelry website. Since I don't like to have pictures taken of myself I don't have many pictures of me by myself. Since the best pictures of me are on my facebook page I had to use that profile picture. At first I was unsure to do this. Them I realized all I had to do was right click on the page and select "copy image url". I then pasted the url in the spot for picture from the web on blogger.
Now, a little bit about myself. I am a single 29 year old woman. My birthday is October 7 so I will soon be 30. I have no children, but I work with a lot of children. Autism is my main area of interest. I work as a substitute teacher and as an ABA therapist. I tend to sub only in special education. I also make handmade jewelry with my friend Njideka.

Setting up my blog

Today is the first day I am setting up my blog. So far I have finished the profile and I have uploaded my power point presentation. I hope to finish formatting the blog today. I would like to add pictures and more information about myself and this project. This is my first blog so I am still learning about how to set it up. Hopefully it will be as easy as it looks.
