Good News
Following international headlines and articles of interest is something I really enjoy. While the world scene has been grim in the last month, I also found some encouraging and inspiring articles, which I thought I might share:
A story about stranded paraolympians and spontaneous hospitality. The 2012 Paraolympic Games are now in progress in the Olympic stadium in London. (Here's a page all Paraolympic news http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/paralympics-2012)
Could our education system try this? Hurrah for experiential learning:
An amazing public health success:
This story had me shouting because it demonstrates what community health work can do.
You've heard of Small Pox and its eradication? Well Guinea Worm is gross, painful, and debilitating and it's about to be 2nd disease in world history to be eradicated ... brought about by the work of community health workers!
Tassel
Last Friday, somewhere in cyberworld, somebody moved my tassel and that's the end of grad school.
I just looked up tassel in the dictionary ('higher education' does not include Spelling) and here's what it says "A tuft of loosely hanging threads, cords, or other material, knotted at one end and attached for decoration..."
I certainly did not pursue that for decoration, but the hanging threads with a knot at one end does fit in some ways. It was a blessing and a privilege to study and develop in the realm of nursing that I love- public and community health. We shall see where this tassel leads.
My dear family took the chance to celebrate on that very day with a surprise location for dinner, a short jaunt to the park, and a skip with my niece around the lake to jiggle the burgers and ice cream inside. It was fun!
To celebrate or mark milestones with family is such a blessing. Thank you!!
