It’s been a busy two weeks–school bells ringing, fingers typing, pages turning, students learning and teachers teaching. My internship placement officially starts on Friday, Jan. 23, but I’ve been observing in the classroom the past two weeks in preparation for third term. And although I’m a little stressed, I must say that I LOVE my […]

Paying it Forward this Holiday Season
As winter break is upon us and many of us travel home for the holidays I’m sure we are all filled with excitement to have a break from classes and enjoy some time with family and friends. While the word Christmas holds different meaning for everyone I am going to share what Christmas means to […]
More...Adventures of a Student Teacher
Hello all and welcome to my blog! Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Katie Olson and I am a senior at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point. My majors are Spanish and secondary education and my minors are ESL (English as a second language) and international studies. During my time at UW-Stevens Point, […]
More...NFCR National Conference
“You may come from somewhere, but you can go anywhere.” These are the words I heard while attending National Council on Family Relations (NFCR) Conference, a national conference in Baltimore Nov. 25-30, with other colleagues of mine.

More...Student Government Association: The Quick and Dirty
I feel that it’s very fitting that I write my first post of the 2014-15 school year about the UW-Stevens Point Student Government Association, since it’s probably the only thing I seem like I care about. In all fairness, I did become a student blogger in great part to share what I experience in SGA. […]

Hola Chicos, Hey everyone! I hope all you UW-Stevens Point students are surviving midterms and the cold streak of weather we have been having.

More...Introducing the 2014-15 CPS Senators
Hey, CPS! I’m just checking in to do what I like to do at least yearly, which is to introduce the students, staff, faculty and supporters of our college to their student representatives through the Student Government Association. Especially in the case of College of Professional Studies students, I’d really like to help build an […]
More...“It’s a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door”
I suppose it has taken me so long to write my final blog because it saddens me that my New Zealand journey has come to an end. At least for now. Leaving New Zealand was so hard for me and I felt that I wasn’t ready to leave just yet. I had met so many […]
