A life with autism: Temple Gradin to lecture
Millersville University is known for an intensive and comprehensive education program. And as I walked into my first education class four years ago, Cheryl Desmond’s words stuck with me as soon as I heard them: “People first language, always put your students first.” As I approach the ending of my career at Millersville as an Education Major, nothing could be more true.

Students need encouragement and compassion, and that is just a gem of everything Millersville has taught me about education.

Spitting leaves a bad taste in mouths
When a baseball player spits sunflower seeds at the bottom of the ninth inning with all of the bases loaded, I’m often willing to overlook it. When someone on a reality television show spits part of their food out after having to eat rotten cockroaches, I’m also willing to forgive. However, when I walk to class and see young men and women spitting wads of saliva, I am less than impressed.
