Inaugural

Hey everyone, or just the one follower. So it's my first blog entry defying the odds at last of me writing about myself. I am very excited though because I get to write about my amazing presentation at Newton last week. On Friday the 19th I was invited to organize and speak about African diseases of poverty and the social ramifications at my Alma mater, Newton Middle School. I spoke for a bit about a few endemic diseases I'll most likely see in Kenya and Somalia but really I gave a great deal of effort to relate the material to the students lives in hopes of enlightening them a little on the topic of social injustice. I should give credit to "Miss Stilley" for her excellent advice on teaching and presenting material to students, it really did help. Hopefully the community service project that the staff at Newton and I organized will managed to accomplish a greater sense of community with the students, if just to a small degree. But I must say I was so well received and the questions the students posed were so excellent, I could not have been more impressed. Finally I want to extend a sincere thank you to the teachers for inviting me, specifically my wonderful ex teacher/neighbor Jill Mack, thank you so much it was a pleasure.
