reading notes: mahabharata, part d

For part D, The Forest and its Ghosts is the story I want to focus on, specifically the plot of it. As I have already mentioned the ashes of the original Dharma-Queen being thrown into the Ganges, I think this will be something that will seamlessly incorporate into my portfolio stories. I have already thought out what I want to do with this. Abhaya will get to a rough point in her journey, leading her to seek out Vyasa to bring the Dharma-Queen back to answer Abhaya's question as to whether or not her journey will be worth it. Ultimately, I want Abhaya to speak with her mother and then be given the choice to leave with the Dharma-Queen or stay and continue her journey. This will pose a great dilemma for Abhaya since she has struggled on her journey, but her mother's assuring words help guide her to the end.

introduction to an aspiring teacher

Hello! I'm Katelyn Callahan, a soon-to-be 21 year-old senior at the University of Oklahoma. Originally, I'm from Tulsa, OK, and I have lived in Oklahoma for the majority of my life minus about three years when I lived in Kansas. I'm an enneagram type one, so do with that what you will. In college, I'm studying Language Arts Education in hopes of becoming a middle school English teacher. As you might be able to presume from my major, I love to write. I especially love all things technical about writing, especially grammar.  Aside from my love for writing, I love cats! In fact, I love cats so much that I have a memorial tattoo for my childhood cat, Jasper. Below are some pictures of Jasper and the tattoo I got in his memory. Another fun fact: I got this tattoo in London while I was studying abroad!

week two story: family traditions

It was my first day at a new school in a new place, and I was not looking forward to it. I had never attended a public school, but my mom told me it was time.  "Rish, you're seventeen now. You know you have to do this to carry on our family's traditions," my mother pressured. "Mom, I know," I say, slipping the fresh canvas backpack over my shoulders.  I have never carried a schoolbag before, so this was different. My outdated textbooks weren't the only thing weighing me down, though. You see, the women in my family are all rakshasis.  If you don't know what rakshasis are, we're creatures with the ability to lure people in, then eat them when we feel it's right. Naturally, we aren't the most attractive, with two huge fangs protruding from our mouths and a not-so petite figure.  Luckily, we have the opportunity to shape shift into whatever we want. This makes luring even the least gullible very easy for us. In my family, w
