Stuart's Spectacular Students

This is dedicated to my amazing students. The goal is for each and every one of them to feel unstoppable by the time they walk out of the classroom door for the final time in May. This chronicles their journey; their own Chronicles of Self-Actualization.

Fossil Found

Big fossil found in Ike-ravaged home's front yard

Fri Oct 3, 10:12 AM ET

CAPLEN, Texas - A homeowner whose beachfront property in Texas was destroyed during Hurricane Ike has found a football-size fossil tooth in the debris.

Westgate believes the fossil is from a Columbian mammoth common in North America until around 10,000 years ago.

The tooth, which looks like a series of boot soles or slices of bread wedged together, is expected to be sent to the Texas Memorial Museum in Austin.

More than 1 million people fled the Texas coast because of Hurricane Ike.

What Freedom Means to Me

WHAT FREEDOM MEANS TO ME


I wonder what freedom means to me?

I think freedom means that I can be able to think for myself. Being able to think for myself will set me free. It also means that I can do what I want when I want. If I'm able to do that I’ve attacked life.

Wouldn’t it be cool if you could grab life by the horns and ride that bull day and night? I’m like a panther every day attacking my fears and struggling with my brain and always thinking.

So that’s what freedom means to me and how I feel about it.
