My Last Blog Post :)

Knowing that this semester is coming to an end and I am graduating next semester, I have to put on my big girl pants and start looking for a job of winter break. I don't even know how to start looking for a job, but knowing that my dad is going to help me, I am glad to say that i feel confident about the whole job searching process. I do have great news though, I will interning again at Denton publications for next semester. The only thing is, it's not just a regular intership reporting news about what's going on in the community. I will be a sports reporter for the paper. I am happy about this because this means that I am one step closer to my dream job. For those who are graduating, CONGRATS. For those who one more semester, WE CAN DO IT!!!!

Coping with Loss

People who have lost loved ones, either they were murdered have many ways to cope with loss. A CNN article reports that people cope differently. For Example, Last year, Baltimore's homicide rate hit a four-year high. Yet families such as Vinson's have few resources to help them heal from the trauma of a relative's sudden death. That's where Annette March-Grier steps in. Her nonprofit in Baltimore helps children and their families cope with grief. "A child's grief over the loss of a loved one is often complicated by the loss of security and identity," said March-Grier, a bereavement counselor and registered nurse. "This shift can be very dangerous if there's no support system there." "Our program provides that safe place for a child to recover." Since 2008, her organization, Roberta's House, has provided free grief support programs to more than 2,100 people -- nearly half of them children.

Most Improvement

I think the title explains it all. Everyone, not only players on a sports team, but people like you and me like to improve. For this post, I am talking about players in hockey who are improving over time. For example, New York Islanders Goalie Chad Johnson. Very little has gone wrong for the Islanders in terms of their offseason moves. Jaroslav Halak has been great in net, Johnny Boychuk and Nick Leddy have been outstanding on defense and Nikolai Kulemin and Mikhail Grabovski have contributed up front VIA:http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2284817-one-player-on-every-nhl-team-who-must-improve-in-2014-15/page/20

Brodeur The New Brett Farve

If you know hockey like I do, then you know who Martin Brodeur is. For those of you who don't know who he is. He was a New Jersey Devil goaltender, and then he retired. Recently, Brodeur has come out of retirement and decided to sign a contract to become a St. Louis Blue. Brodeur is a 40-year-old veteran who is know wanting to play again for a hockey team. Let's just say we hockey fans, can call him Brett Farve.

Sport Predictions

Every sport that you watch, can report on who will make it and who will not make it to the big games at the end of the season. This year is different for the 2014-2015 NHL season. The prediction for my favorite team the New York Islanders was: The only reason to not think of the Islanders as a playoff team this year is because, well, they're the Islanders. They usually find a way to "Islanders" up situations. But this is a playoff-caliber roster. If everyone performs up their capabilities, a postseason berth should be the end result." That also includes the endorsement of Jack Capuano for coach of the year, which lacks a link as proof because no one else at B/R had him in his or her top five. And now that they are now in sole possession of first in their division. Here is a current take on the Islanders: The Islanders are a slam dunk for a playoff spot in the East. They are 10 points clear of ninth-place Florida, and just about every team below the Panthers is a stronger contender for a top-five draft pick than a top-eight spot in the standings. Capuano isn't a lock for the Jack Adams Award, with Jon Cooper of Tampa Bay and Peter Laviolette of Nashville among others in the mix, but Capuano has my vote.

NHL Player Father Convicted

According to an article, New Jersey Devils player Ryane Clowe's father is under investigation for " high level" cocaine trafficking. Crowe is currently out of the Devels lineup because of a concussion isn't facing any charges himself, but his father was called to a Newfoundland and Lavrador provincial court for the charges.

Christmas Vs. Hanukkah

As you might of guessed, I am Jewish. So that means that I am the minority of people who DON'T celebrate Christmas. I'm not saying there is something wrong with people who celebrate Christmas, I just think that maybe we should advertise Hanukkah a little like we advertise Christmas. I am one of those people in my family that has an opinion about everything, and when if comes to this time a year my opinions run wild. I know that majority of people in the United States celebrates Christmas, but what about the other half. I love celebrate Hanukkah, my family and I have traditions just like the people who celebrate Christmas. I just think we should cut down on the Christmas ads and run Hanukkah ads for once.
