No time for a pep talk tomorrow due to the film I'm going to show you. The film will start when the bell rings. The final push begins tomorrow. YOU CAN DO IT!!!! This should pump you up for the end of the school year:
Carlisle, I just finished watching the Lisa Ling National Geographic documentary about North Korea, it is insane. I am in disbelief of how one man can literally control the entire country. It's on one hand bizarrely fascinating and on the other hopelessly saddening. After watching it I wonder if ever in my lifetime we will see a free North Korea liberated from theri "great leader"Kim Jong Il. I think you would really enjoy it and recommend watching it. I feel like it brings up a lot of questions about humanity, society, psychology and the power of simply one man.
I'm a native South Carolinian and I attained my undergraduate and graduate degrees from the University of South Carolina. I taught fourth grade for two years in the Mississippi Delta and two years at an alternative high school in Western North Carolina. I have been at Tigard High School since the fall of 2003, where I teach U.S. History and Psychology.

Glad you liked it Kayla. It's one of my favorites. I can't wait to hear your opinion of the 9/11 documentary I'm going to show next week.

Daryn,
I need to check that documentary out. PRNK is messed up to the extreme. By the way, your thoughtful comment just made my day!

I miss Jaden Smith. Regardless, this was very inspirational. Well done Carlisle.

Tess,
The Karate Kid starring Ralph Macchio is the only Karate Kid worth remembering.
