Swine flu

Pandemic - when people see the word, there is a cold shiver that trickles down their spine. Even more so when it is possible that whatever the pandemic might be, there is a chance it could end up in our own backyard.
In the past few weeks, the news spread across the country that an outbreak of what has been known as swine flu, ripped its way through Mexico cities and towns, collecting an eye-opening death toll that has shaken up the "close the border," debate to almost being a possibility of happening.

Goodbye, DCCC; thanks for everything

Finally!
My time here has come to an end!
To be perfectly honest, graduating is the best feeling in the world right now.
It's so hard for me to believe that I will be completing a part of my education at DC3. I not only feel a sense of relief, but I also feel so accomplished.

New chapter; the end of the beginning

I've come into a new chapter in my life, a time of letting go. I've been here at Dodge City Community College for two years, the expected time, but not with the same results as what many would expect. Most at this time will be graduating and using the summer break to prepare for the school they will transfer to.
