Hello. My name is Tim Sarych. I wanted to start doing something new so I have decided to start a blog. I am typing this first blog on my iPad mini, so this first one may be short. Anyways, there are a couple of things going on today that I want to talk about. The first one being that I am a college student with Bemidji State University and I also work full-time. I just completed an assignment tonight about cultures and teaching. I interviewed a student for this assignment and he has a lot going against him in life. While I was interviewing him, I asked him if anyone had been racist against him. I was shocked to hear his answer of no. He believes in the Muslim religion, and I asked him what was something that people should know about your culture. He told me that he wants people to know that Muslims want to help people. He went on to say that Muslims want to help to the point that they would even help when people didn't need it. He also stated that people hold Muslims accountable more often because of their religion. It was an interesting interview. The purpose of the assignment was to bring more cultural awareness to teaching. I am thankful that I have worked with a high variety of diversity for the past eight years and I am colorblind when I see a student's skin color. Every student deserves an opportunity.
Today was my official one year anniversary of drinking no soda pop. I remember when I made the decision a year ago, it wasn't a hard one. In fact, I just decided to go cold turkey and quit right on the spot. As I posted on facebook yesterday, I still drink non-carbonated fruit punch, lemonade, and Gatorade G2. Gatorade G2 has a lot less calories and sugar than regular Gatorade. My friend and co-worker, Amy, pointed out that I have a Mike's every now and then. Another co-worker who I respect greatly, Mary, pointed out in my defense that Mike's is a lemonade. She's right! I feel better about myself for making the year mark and I am going to continue this challenge because I want to be more healthy. That is my goal.
I going to end this first blog with this. I don't know what I will be blogging about. There is no set schedule or agenda here. I just want to express what is on my mind. I think this fits in with becoming more healthy. I want to try and blog a couple of times a week and see how it goes. Lately, I feel like I have been in position where I can't say what is on my mind completely and I think this will help. Have a good night everyone and a good Tuesday tomorrow.
