Setting the Record Straight on Michael Vick
Now that he's about to get out of jail, it looks like Michael Vick is trying to revamp his image, according to Advertising Age. But it won't be with any help from us.
PETA withdrew our offer to do a TV spot with Michael Vick last December when a U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) report on Vick's dogfighting activities revealed that he enjoyed placing "family pets" in the ring with fighting pit bulls and that he laughed as dogs ripped each other apart. PETA believes that this revelation, along with other factors in the report, fit the established profile for anti-social personality disorder (APD), so in January we called on NFL Commissioner Goodell to require that Vick undergo a brain scan and a full psychological evaluation before any decisions are made about the future of his football career.
What can I say? You can't believe everything you read.

Mr. Vick should be locked up FOREVER! "The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated." Gandhi
michael vick should not be allowed back in NFL. This is a position of respect. The majority of people do not hold for him.And none of the animals killed and tortured deserve this evil. I do not care if he lives in a shelter but not a dog shelter. He isnt good enough for that.
Peta I have respect for your views on dog fighting however I doubt anyone who write to you are from the inner city or lived in the slum comparable to a third world country. M V is a product of the projects who has been to an area of life where he always fought going. He was arrogant ignorant stupid but truly what do anyone expect out of hand feed jock given millions to only become a college drop out trying to get his ignorant family and "friends" to a better side of life. All that said I think some animal lovers some how lost the love of human life. Mike has a mothertwo children to raise and a mountain of debt. For the many others who don't get any attention for the evil crime of dog fighting like "mv's friends" there's no blog or blood pouring rage it's just another day.
….Michael Vick does not deserve reinstatement….I hope PETA never has any dealings with him….Vick only wants the NFL and will do or say anything taught by his attorney for Roger Goodell……"Serving" the time is just that…Nothing more…There is no entitlement attached at the end……In the eyes of most Vick crossed a line that people cannot stomach…..they cannot accept the sum total of what Vick is………Please write Roger Goodell and state "No more Vick"….Roger.Goodell2nfl.net
When I read some of these comments how one treats animals should be considered completely separate than how one treats humans I am seriously ashamed to our race. Hello humans are animals. How stupid are you? It's ok to force animals to fight each other epsecially this is my favorite because other countries do. We should be strive to be more like third world countries with no education yes let's deevolve as much as possible! You must have loved Sarah Palin. Get with the times one person wrote yeah take your own advice. The slow progress were making in free range farming and treating animals with dignity will hopefully have future generations looking back on us now and being disgusted by what cruel savages we were. MV is in my mind a truly evil scumbag with no compassion for anything or anyone human dog what have you. But that's just me a human animal speaking.
Tiffany. Your ignorant. awww poor M. Vick. Spent 22 months in jail. Oh.. poor soul. He chose to fight dogs. He made millions in the NFL yet he chose to make money off a sick and discusting crime. ARe you kidding me? He feels remorse? No he does not. His future is at stake.. that is why he apologized. He should have his ugly ass chewed off by the dogs that he made suffer and that are lucky to be alive. People like you are just as sick as he is.. I hope he rots in hell. Or get's his ass kicked on a side street until he dies.
I think anyone who enjoys watching animals tear eachother apart needs a psych eval. That is truly a sick sport and the fact that he got caught is the only reason he is 'remorseful'. He should be forced to shovel crap at a zoo as his career the rest of his days and NEVER be allowed as a public sports figure again making millions.
Now I have read all the opinions about the people on this website about Michael Vick.People need to stop making Michael Vick suffer for his crime. He has served 22 months he was in jail for 20mos 2 mos at home remaining. he served his time. let this issue go because michael vick plead guilty for the crime so he was a man for telling the truth. i can see if he lie about his crime. michael did show some remorse for his crime by apoloizing to the public and to peta. But to peta they want to still punish vick for his crime over and over again.Also peta want vick to get an psychological evalution too. now that is too much now. Peta michael vick served his time. it is over now. grown up and move on. you see if michael vick was not african american the law would gave him a slack on the wrist punishment but he is a celebrity and black they want to make an example of him. i tell you politics is a dangerous game to play when someone life is on the line. now dogfighting started many years ago in the 1800s when men like doctors lawyersand wealthy officials thought dogfighting as an sport and enetertainment for the people. now dogfighting is still going on in the world today. so we need to find an common ground in forgiving vick for his crimminal act. we have more problems in our country than embrassingtorturing and bad mouthing vick. they talk about jesus christ they did not believe he was son of god until he die on the cross. jesus forgave them. they talk about hip hop rapper singers about they ways of entertainment the actor tom cruise for scienticolgy. it sound like people judging other people without judging themselves. there is an old saying "Before you judge someone else backyard then you need to clean up your backyard before saying something than is not of yours". To vick read the JOB in the holy bible it talk about job lost everything and how he faith restore everything back.
I am a dog owner and I am totally against dog fighting but you Vick Haters are crazy!! I agree that the man should be punished for his crimes. Vick has served his time…..leave him alone and GET OVER IT!! I will say it again "the man has served his time for his crimes". Who are you peoplePETA to judge anyone. That decision lies with God.The money that PETA receives can be better spent by helping animals that really need help rather than trying to destroy a person who will be allowed to return to the NFL. I said it…he will eventually be allowed to return to the NFLlike it or not.
PETA forgive the guy we are all animals and bound to make a mistake Vick did it in america were people put animals before humans unless it is on there plate
I'm definetely not excusing what Vick did. He deserves everything he got for his crimes and trust me he has paid dearly. He has paid his debt to society and yes he should be monitored and yes he should have the book thrown at him if he commits a crime again. But he deserves the right to make a living and provide for his family without the scrutiny of idiots asking for brain scans.
Torturing living things for fun displays such sickness that I am disgusted by anyone who feels this human garbage has "served his time". This monster watched as stolen family pets were killed for sport? What next will he and those worthless members of society like him start stealing our children to torture for their entertainment? It fascinates me that this waste of air is dubbed "talented" because he can throw a football we would all be better off if violent criminals like him were all in cells for life.
i hope that the people who are so strongly against mike vick arent christians. no one that has written statement against him has lived a perfect life. what he did was wrong. hes paid his debt with his freedom and more money than many of us will ever see. heres some food for thought there are many sins written in the bible dog fighting wasnt mentioned but being a liar is GOD wont have anything to do with a liar. to quote a passage all liars shall have thier part in the lake of fire. i challenge everyone to just take stoke on how many lies you have told this week. remember how you judge others is how GOD will judge you. by the way i am a minister who believes in forgiving and forgetting the way GOD does and has instructed everyone to do
Per Ghandi "A nation can be judged on how it treats its animals"Vick needs to be neutered and made to stand in public with a sign stating what he did to God's creatures for money and his own sick pleasures. Let the general public dose out the punishment he deserves. I have several dogs that would love to get a hold of him. He belongs in the sewer with the rest of his sick friends and spectators who participated. He is only remorseful because he got caught. Boo Hiss
I can't believe PETA was even thinking of doing an advertisement with SICK VICK. If anything like that happens we will no longer support them financially.
I was watching Show Biz tonight on Friday night and they reported that Michael Vick former NFL player and abuser of pitbulls would be joining in the fight for animal rights for PETA. I am very distressed and concerned about this for PETA. I being a member of PETA for some time not only donate to PETA but write many congressman Senators and many many other people of organizations on behalf of animal abuse. I do this on my own not just for PETA but for the animals. I truly deep in my soul love animals but Michael Vick does not. Michael Vick was put in prison for pit bull dog fighting back in 2007. I think he was there for 18 months. He will shortly be released from prison. Michael Vick says he wants to work with PETA. There is something you need to know about Michael Vick. When he went into prison in December of 2007 he said he was sorry to the judge for doing this to these dogs but he wasn't sorry. He was just saying he was sorry because he got caught. He actually was pleading with the judge so that he could go home and spend Christmas with his family. That's all he was thinking about not the animals he destroyed. The things that Michael Vick did to those dogs were deplorable. Some were hanged drowned and beat to death among other things. Some people deserve a second chance but NOT MICHAEL VICK!!! I have for the past 18 months kept in contact with his judge Judge Henry E. Hudson Lewis F. Powell Jr. U.S. Courthouse 1000 E. Main St. Suite 305 Richmond VA 232193525 to try to keep him in prison for his crimes so that he did not get out early. I have written Judge Hudson many times and he has kept him in prison. It would be a shame to let Michael Vick be a spokes person for PETA or even be associated with PETA just because he says he is sorry and has learned his lesson. HE HAS LEARNED NOTHING IN REGARD TO ANIMALS!! I have worked long and tiresome hours on this case about Michael Vick. It would be a shame if PETA did not see Michael Vick for the kind of person he really is. He is not a changed man but wants only to redeem his name in the NFL and also in other people's eyes as not a dog abuser. Michael Vick has not just suddenly had an epiphany and suddenly loves animals and wants to help PETA. When he was sent to prison he lost everything including his money assets EVERYTHING!!! I was glad about this as some of the money was put toward saving some of these pit bulls. Others had to be destroyed because they were so beaten up and some of them were destroyed because they could not be rehabilitated. Michael Vick just wants to obtain all of his wealth back as well as his reputation. This is a disgusting man who has no feelings for animals at all. BELIEVE ME he will just go back to abusing animals as that is all he knows. It is so morally wrong to let this jerk just because he says he's sorry join or have anything to do with PETA!!!! Join in with me to stop Michael Vick from being associated with any animal organizations. Write HSUS ASPCA do whatever you have to to stop this man. Thank you.
I have a pitbull would never treat him the way Vick treated those poor dogs. I have said to my family friends that if I ever came across him on the street I would spit in his face! You don't treat animals that way. People play sports that makes them bumphit eachother BECAUSE THEY ARE PAID TO DO IT! They have a choice animals don't…people make them do those things like fighting.
Brandi I have yet to meet a Psychiatrist who is skilled at psychological analysis. Skilled at pushing pills and sedating patients now that is a different issue. By the way what qualifies you as a "professional?"
To comment that you want to see Mike Vick die suffer killed life in prison ect. Makes you no better than him!
I urge everyone to write National Football League co Roger Goodell NFL Commissioner 280 Park Avenue New York NY 10017 I don't want to turn on my TV and see this human garbage Vick on it. Barbara
Too bad there's not a machine that we could hook people up to that verifies'"Real truthful remorse". Because if Vick really wasis remorseful and sought to use the publicity surrounding his case to REALLY go after dog fighting the good would outweigh the bad. Some people do bad things and then spend their entire lives trying to make amends for their actions. Just look at AA and all the 12 step programs… If the guy really IS remorseful the association with PETA could be a great thing. If he's NOT really remorseful? I agree he should take a long walk off a short pier wearing concrete boots
Jacob 1 It's spelled "intelligent". 2 How does killing something make you an expert on brain function? 3 So intelligence is what gives us the right to life? Why aren't you out there killing new born babies and severely mentally retarded people then? If you're going to post on an animal rights website the least that you can do is educate yourself before making statements and looking like a fool. To the pro MV people He did kill. He killed sentient beings. Animals are not here for our entertainment. There is no difference between him forcing two dogs to fight and forcing two kids to fight. When one is this violent it is clear that they suffer from extreme psychological issues and need treatment.
I have a question for you Dave. Are you selling copies of that shirt? It would go well with my PETA trucker hat that has "Dogfighters are Cowardly Scum" printed on it. I wear that hat almost everywhere. I have not worn it to church yet but now I might start…lots of football fans in our congregation and they have been known to show the Superbowl game on the big screen in the church gym after services to get people to actually show up on Superbowl Sunday.
All dog fighters are cowardly scum and Michael Vick is one and a dog killer. I have a tshirt I made that says that on one side and "Michael Vick is a Di" on the other. Any questions?
I would like to share something concerning Micheal Vick. I do not agree at all with him involving himself with dogfighting. I feel for the animals that were a part of this. But I want to address something that most of us overlook. If the spotlight was on us what imperfections would show up? I know that from to day to day I try to make the right decisions and sometimes I still come up short. I still have enter struggles that if I first judge myself I won't judge anyone else. Who am I to say who is remorseful and whose not. This human being has never been in trouble before. He got caught up into something that he allowed thru wrong influences to translate into a harmful addiction. How many of us are just a decision away from the same path? Think about that. I would rather be forgiven by God before I would need any validation of Man. So it's not up to me to be concern if Mike Vick is remorseful. His ultimate judge is God. God's love is unconditional and he's a God of restoration. He restores the contrite in heart. I pray that he has made peace with God and not Man. My goal is not to debate about this. My goal is to share the Love that God has for a person that changes their ways. Respectfully
I am disheartened that PETA would ever even consider joining forces with Vick for any reason. I am personally struggling with the decision on whether I should stop my donations to this organization or not. I will probably continue as I do not want the animals to suffer over a poor decision considered by PETA but I have unfortunately lost some respect for them. As to Vick what he did to those helpless precious animals is dispicable and beyond words. We may be able to forgive but we will NEVER forget the atrocities he performed. His jail term was a joke but at least I hope the NFL will never let him play in the game again.
Yes he is a scum bag! But who better than him can say dog fighing is wrong? who better to catch the attention of people who like to fight dogs? some pople dont know their actions are worng untill they are told or they have made that mistake. What he did was so ucked up but people can learn from his horrible actions…..
I am so happy to hear that Peta is not going to be involved in helping vick get his foot ball job back because thats all it is to him. He is not remorseful or sorry Peta should not be connected to him in any wayand I cant beleive someone compared boxing and other human sports to legalizing dog fighting you moron humans choose to fight and it dosnt end with a death or the cruel behavior before and after the fight.They can stop at any time. What the hell is wrong with you???
I would first like to say that PETA you really disgusted me with this article. Why would you ever think it is okay to have Michael Vick as a spokeperson for this organization? Secondly I would like to ask who at this organization is a clinical psychologist with an actual Ph.D or a psychiatrist?? None of you? Then leave the psychological analysis to us professionals. Thank you.

This groundbreaking classic is more compelling than ever for today's readers. A sensation when it was first published and a perennial best-seller ever since, this real-life diary charts an anonymous teenage girl's struggle with the seductive -- and often fatal -- world of drugs.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
The torture and hell of adolescence has rarely been captured as clearly as it is in this classic diary by an anonymous, addicted teen. Lonely, awkward, and under extreme pressure from her "perfect" parents, "Anonymous" swings madly between optimism and despair. When one of her new friends spikes her drink with LSD, this diarist begins a frightening journey into darkness. The drugs take the edge off her loneliness and self-hate, but they also turn her life into a nightmare of exalting highs and excruciating lows. Although there is still some question as to whether this diary is real or fictional, there is no question that it has made a profound impact on millions of readers during the more than 25 years it has been in print. Despite a few dated references to hippies and some expired slang, Go Ask Alice still offers a jolting chronicle of a teenager's life spinning out of control.Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission.

September 16
Yesterday I remember thinking I was the happiest person in the whole earth, in the whole galaxy, in all of God's creation. Could that only have been yesterday or was it endless light-years ago? I was thinking that the grass had never smelled grassier, the sky had never seemed so high. Now it's all smashed down upon my head and I wish I could just melt into the blaaaa-ness of the universe and cease to exist. Oh, why, why, why can't I? How can I face Sharon and Debbie and the rest of the kids? How can I? By now the word has gotten around the whole school, I know it has! Yesterday I bought this diary because I thought at last I'd have something wonderful and great and worthwhile to say, something so personal that I wouldn't be able to share it with another living person, only myself. Now like everything else in my life, it has become so much nothing.
I really don't understand how Roger could have done this to me when I have loved him for as long as I can remember and I have waited all my life for him to see me. Yesterday when he asked me out I thought I'd literally and completely die with happiness. I really did! And now the whole world is cold and gray and unfeeling and my mother is nagging me to clean up my room. How can she nag me to clean up my room when I feel like dying? Can't I even have the privacy of my own soul?
Diary, you'll have to wait until tomorrow or I'll have to go through the long lecture again about my attitude and my immaturity.
See ya.

Ricotta Frittata With Tomato Salad
- 8 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 2 medium tomatoes, chopped
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1 bunch scallions, sliced
- 1/2 small head radicchio, coarsely chopped (about 4 cups)
- Pinch of sugar
- 1/2 cup ricotta cheese (preferably fresh)
Position a rack 4 to 6 inches from the broiler and preheat the broiler. Whisk the eggs, milk and cheese in a large bowl. In another bowl, toss the tomatoes, basil, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste.
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the scallions, radicchio, sugar, and salt and pepper to taste. Cook, stirring, until the radicchio is tender, about 3 minutes, then add to the bowl with the egg mixture and stir. Wipe out the skillet.
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in the skillet over medium-high heat, tilting to coat the pan. Add the egg mixture and cook, undisturbed, until the bottom starts setting, about 30 seconds. Top with spoonfuls of ricotta; transfer to the broiler and cook until the frittata is set and golden, 3 to 5 minutes. Loosen the edge with a rubber spatula; slide out of the skillet. Cut into wedges. Serve with the tomato salad.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (May 28, 2013) – Team Iowa Ice captured the 2nd Annual Women's Premier Volleyball League (PVL) title following a 25-18, 25-21, 25-17 victory over Team Florida Wave on Tuesday evening at the Kentucky Expo Center in Louisville, Ky.
Team Iowa Ice had reached the championship match in the inaugural event in 2012, but lost to Hoosier Exterminators. The PVL is a grassroots professional volleyball league using USA Volleyball's 40 Regional Volleyball Associations as the foundation for the 15-team league.
Team Iowa Ice opened the first set with a 13-9 advantage and rolled to a 25-18 victory. Team Florida Wave built an early 11-7 margin in the second set, only to have Team Iowa Ice rattle off eight of the next nine points to establish a 15-12 lead en route to a 25-21 victory. In the third set, Team Iowa Ice maintained a slim lead through 17-14, then powered to a 25-17 win to cap the match.
Team Iowa Ice was in danger of not qualifying for the gold bracket semifinals just one day earlier. It had upset defending champion Hoosier Exterminators in four sets, but fell to Great Plains Tornados in four sets. With Hoosier Exterminators coming back to defeat Great Plains, Pool 1 of the second round finished in a three-way tie. However, Team Iowa Ice won the tiebreaker with a slim 1.09 to 1.04 margin over Hoosier Exterminators to reach the gold semifinals.
Breann Payton of Team Iowa Ice was selected as the Women's PVL most valuable player and she was joined on the all-tournament team by teammates Megan Schipper, Brittany Brimmage and Justine Landi. For Team Florida Wave, Benavia Jenkins and Kristy Jaeckel were selected to the all-tournament team.

This also marks Kenya Airways entry into Freighter service with a dedicated Boeing 747F. The Boeing 747-400F cargo freighter, unveiled in Nairobi on Tuesday, is expected to significantly boost the airline's capacity to airlift cargo between its growing Asian and African markets while realizing higher earnings from cargo as a distinct revenue source. Kenya Airways through its cargo arm, KQ Cargo, has entered into a joint venture with KLM Cargo to operate the freighter which is owned by Martinair, a subsidiary of the Air France KLM Group. The service connects China's key industrial zone in Guangdong with the Kenya capital Nairobi thus offering access to all key African markets through KQ passenger service. The freighter dubbed 'Safari Connection' denotes its trans-continental (Africa-Asia-Europe) operations and the partnership between Kenya Airways and KLM; it bears the slogan "Hunting for Business" in Chinese Mandarin. The cargo freighter has a capacity to carry 120 tonnes which is over five times the belly capacity of the Boeing 777, the largest aircraft in the airline's fleet. The wide-body cargo freighter will operate the Amsterdam-Guangzhou-Nairobi-Lagos-Nairobi-Amsterdam circuit. The aircraft will make stopovers in Sharjah in the United Arab Emirates on its way from Guangzhou to Nairobi. Kenya Airways plans to introduce twelve freighters into its growing fleet over the ten years, some wholly owned and others leased. This will improve the airline's overall cargo carrying capability and reduce over-dependence on the passenger fleet whose belly capacity is limited. The airline carried over 56,000 metric tonnes of cargo in 2010/11 and this is expected to grow following the launch of the freighter line.

A great combination of Gelato and Crepes! Fast service and yummy eats!
The first time I went was on the grand opening, and even with an enormous lineup, the quality of service and food were amazing. I've been to many crepe places and many gelato places, but this one tops them all! The crepes were very skillfully made. They were nice and fluffy and hot, but I didn't burn my mouth on it. Combining the crepe with gelato made it even better. I had the raspberry gealto, and wasn't expecting much, but was very surprised. Some people might think the gelato is a bit pricey for the amount you get, but its so worth it!

According to the New York State Department of Health, there are more than 25,000 deaths per year on average in the state that are attributable to smoking.
Through Southern Tier Health Care System's coordination of tobacco cessation, two Jamestown medical practices are among the first in New York to implement a program aimed at assisting tobacco users in the process of quitting, titled "Opt-to-Quit." A news conference was held Wednesday to announce the adoption of the program.
Opt-to-Quit is a new partnership between healthcare facilities, including primary care sites and hospitals, and the NYS Smoker's Quitline. It was designed to reach and assist tobacco-using patients by the adoption of a system-wide policy.
Howard Howlett, chairman of the board for the Southern Tier Health Care System, said that few things have as great an impact on someone's health and well-being as stopping tobacco use.
"Our mission is to improve the health and wellness of the communities we serve in the Southern Tier," said Howlett. "Helping practices to implement the Opt-to-Quit program is one of the most effective ways I can think of to achieve our mission."
Jamestown Primary Care and Chautauqua Physical and Occupational Therapy are the first primary care and first physical and occupational therapy practices in New York to adopt the program, which was developed by the Roswell Park Cancer Institute.
"Quitting is not a one-time event," said Patricia Bax, marketing coordinator for the NYS Smokers Quitline. "It takes providing the tobacco user with the resources and support that they need in their quitting process. The quit line is that vehicle that can enhance the already wonderful services provided by Jamestown Primary Care to ensure that the user can not only be successful in becoming tobacco free, but also staying tobacco free."
Tobacco use is the leading cause of preventable death in New York. According to Patrick Green, physical therapist and owner of Chautauqua Physical and Occupational Therapy, they have found that by having a multi-level impact that is started by the physician and reinforced by a physical therapist, along with access to the support from Opt-to-Quit, patients have seen a better success rate.
"We urge all health-care professionals in the area to join us in this effort to help the program spread," said Green. "We think this program can help save lives."
Dr. Rudy Mueller, co-founder of Jamestown Primary Care, echoed the sentiments voiced by others, saying that nicotine is a difficult drug to stop using because of its addictive nature.
"Many patients that quit start back up if they don't have the necessary support," said Mueller. "About one out of every five adults uses nicotine in this country, and it's a big problem. It's really important for the health of the community, and I'm glad that we have this program to help. If people can quit smoking, it can help them lead better lives."
"I'm proud to say that Jamestown Primary Care is the first primary care provider in New York to be doing this program and that Chautauqua Physical and Occupational Therapy is the first of their kind to be doing it in the state as well," said Erica Sebastian, coordinator for the Southern Tier Health Care System Tobacco Cessation Center. "These groups are leaders in the community, and I hope that other providers will follow suit."
For more information about quitting smoking, the Tobacco Cessation Center can be reached at 372-0614, or the toll-free NYS Smoker's Quitline can be reached at 1-866-697-8487. More information about Southern Tier Health Care System and its programs is available at www.sthcs.org.

Why Spanish?
Spanish is important because of the proximity of our Spanish-speaking neighbors. It is necessary to form close, clear, cultural, and commercial ties with them. The courses in Spanish are planned to give the students an insight into Latin America, its Spanish origins, and its diversified national developments, as well as a foundation for efficient communication skills in the Spanish language.
Careers in Spanish
Spanish Student Profiles
My name is Amy Rendon and I am a senior Spanish major from Midland, Texas. One of the main reasons I choose to major in Spanish Major was because of my mother's huge impact on my life and the life of my community. She works at a non-profit organization, Casa de Amigos; it helps to meet a variety of needs, especially for the Hispanic community. My mom and her fellow co-workers' drive to impact Hispanics' lives made me realize that I want to give as well. Through my education I want to serve as a certified translator/interpreter for foreign missions in Latin America, and also, after graduation, further my education in graduate school to become a certified Bilingual Speech Pathologist. My goal is to open my own practice and help Spanish-speaking children and adults overcome their speaking disabilities.
I love being here at Wayland! I especially appreciate the faculty and staff who, through various ways, encourage me to achieve my educational goals. I enjoy going to class and seeing myself improve everyday! I have come to understand that learning is a privilege, and I am so thankful that Wayland has caught on to a bigger vision for students like me who want to impact the world in which we live.
