(Below is more student writing from SVDP-ALC. Jennie has just had one of her articles accepted by a national magazine for adult literacy from Boston, Massachusetts called The Change Agent www.nelrc.org/changeagent. The topic was climate change and Hurricane Katrina. Jennie was in the storm and was stranded on a downtown overpass for many days in flooded New Orleans. When her article gets published, we will post an update on this blog. -- Adrian)
Myself and Antarctica
By Jennie Gorden
Hello. Our school, St. Vincent de Paul - Adult Learning Center, just came back off a vacation for a month and had many things to catch up with on different topics. Right now what I am doing for myself is that I am into the subjects of science, social studies, mathematics, and reading and working hard to improve myself towards getting a GED [high school equivalency diploma] to go further in life. Now I am writng a few lines to get updated on what has been going on in Antarctica because our class has not heard from anyone [except for posts to this blog] from the South Pole Station [or McMurdo Station] for sometime because we were on vacation for a month. Our teacher Adrian has been in contact with the Antarctica station and will update the class about it soon. How have things been for everyone in Antarctica? I know that it is very cold down there, and there is no daylight down there [at this time of the year]. Here in New Orleans, Louisiana we have been getting different kinds of weather like rain and high winds. But many days it has been so hot that if you walk in the sun for a long period of time, it burns your skin.
