News Story Draft
This past couple of days I've been speaking with Mrs. Charla Buford Johnson who has won an amazing honor. She is a relative of Mrs. Alexander and Mrs. Buford and is also a Bethany alumni. She graduated in 1984 and is currently a Registered Nurse who practices specifically in Orthopaedics focusing on Muscular Dystrophy. Not only does she do that but she is progam coordinator of the Orthopaedic Service Line. She coordinates the surgical experience of patients who are undergoing joint replacement and spine fusion surgery. She currently works at Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center and was chosen to recieve Louisiana State Nurse Association Nurse of the Year Award. I've had the pleasure of speaking with Mrs. Johnson and she told me more about this wonderful acheievement and some wise words to Bethany students.
Firstly I asked her, more about the award and what it takes to win it and she replied:
"I was the recipient of the Louisiana State Nurse Association Nurse of the Year award. I was nominated by my peers for the impact I have made at both the local and state level on healthcare issues and in nursing; demonstration of the art/science of nursing; demonstration of clinical expertise; evidence of continuing education; mentoring; and participation in professional organizations. The candidates for this award were judged by professional nurses across the country who serve in leadership roles for other State Boards of Nursing and organizations including the American Nurse Association. There are over 44,000 nurses in the state of Louisiana so it was quite an honor."
She also has some advice for you Bethany Students:
"Never sell yourself short. God gives you gifts and talents beyond your own natural ability to achieve the things He has called you to accomplish. Choose a career that inspires you…it takes passion to accomplish the work."
She also said to always represent yourself in your career with with integrity, a high level work ethic, and remember learning doesn’t end at high school it is a life-long journey.

facebook draft
A lot of people know that when you browse the Internet it allows you a great amount of privacy and some people take it to the next level by staying anonymous. There have been countless reports of people claiming to be something they are not, people flaunting their good qualities and keeping the bad in the dark, and basically just making up a completely new person. Amazingly, on a social network I'm sure you all know called "Facebook" people generally tell the truth about every part of themselves, but the amazing thing is that people generally are more truthful about themselves on facebook instead of in real life.
I'm sure you are wondering how they figured out this amazing fact? Well scientist tested 133 U.S and 103 German college students from ages 17-22. They tested the subjects personalities and rated things such as extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, emotional instability and openness to new experiences. They then asked the subjects about themselves which turned out to be "idealized." After that they looked on the subjects facebook and found out it matched the scientist descriptions better than the actual subjects description of themself.
This means that your opinion of someone you form from a facebook page might be more accurate than an in real life opinion.

Water Gate
Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstien worked with the Washington Post and uncovered one of the biggest scandals in American history. Woodward has worked for the washington post since 1971 and is still working there as the editor. Carl Bernstien currently works with the CIA.
Bob Woodward currently works at the washington post as the editor. He is also a celebrated author who has had 11 best sellers and some of his books have ever reached number one. He recieved his BA in literature at Yale university 1965. Woodward also served in the US army on a 5 year tour, but he was discharged and considered attending law school. He was not hired because his lack of journalistic skills. Bob ofcourse is most known for his journalistic acheivement when he cracked the Watergate scandal.
Carl Bernstien currently works with the CIA and his parents were investigated by the US government when he was younger. They were suspected of being in the communist party and had been monitered for over 30 years. Bernstien quit the washington post in 1971 because he did not get as much props as his partner Bob.
In conclusion this whole water gate shows you how easy it is to get caught even when you're extremely careful. There are always going to be paper trails, smart people and people who greedy people who will try to get more by doing anything. Woodstien did show that America is a democracy and you can't jip the people.

Have you ever wondered why, when someone yawns why do other people yawn too? I call it chain-yawning and scientists have been trying to figure out why the phenomenon happens too for a while now. Did you know that 40%-60% of people who see a picture of someone yawning will yawn too? Sometimes reading the word 'YAWN' will make you yawn. A theory scientist have come up with is, it could be a herding behavior and a subtle way of communicating. As you have probably noticed yawning is not only limited to humans, yawns can even be exchanged inter species! Yawns between people can mean it's time to go, or it's time to change the subject or I'm bored how about you?
Don't know what a yawn is? Well I'll help you out, a yawn in an involuntary reflex where you open your mouth really wide and draw in a large amount of oxygen. No one knows the cause, but the front running idea is that it's caused by your brain realizing there is not enough oxygen in the bloodstream so you take a deep yawn to draw more into your system. Another idea is that yawning can help regulate our body temperature. I hope I’ve taught you more about yawning, and I hope you’ve yawned at least once while reading this.

Dextromethorphan
Dextromethorphan or commonly known as DXM has been misused for ages and ages. Dxm is found in cold medicines so this drug can be bought over the counter making it way too easy to buy and putting kids in danger of over dosing because kids hear how to do this and think an overdose will never happen to them.
Dextromethorphan is found in pain medicines like Nyquil, Dimetapp and Robitussin
although Robitussin has a special chemical in it that will kill you. But it is sold in tablet, spray liquid and pill just everything you can imagine. In it's pure form
it is a pure white powder like other drugs I wont name.
Now, don't get too excited because this drug although easy to access it is very very dangerous and has adverse effects on your body. Such as memory loss and with all drugs resistance which causes you to to take higher and higher doses to reach that high, which is also dangerous because of obvious reasons. Now the high that all these silly people are trying to reach causes hallucinations (seeing things)but with these hallucinations comes blurred vision, vomiting, sweating, shivering, and maybe death. That doesn't sound worth it to me.
Dxm's level has categories called plateau's there are 4 of them. I don't think I can put like the dosages because that's dangerous but I will describe each of them
in great detail. But seriously, this is dangerous and I really don't think you should ever ever...ever ever...do this.
The first plateau is very mild not very distinctive it causes lightheadeness and slight music euphoria. The second plateau can be compared to drunkenness you slur, when you talking and can't hold simple conversations because your short-term memory has been temporarily consumed my dxm. There is also a very strong mental high. Not sure what that is. There is also very mild hallucinations.
The third plateau causes strong hallucinations and can cause the user to become very confused as to where they are, who they are, what they are, and why they are in that particular place. It can cause you to daze off into your own world and get lost in your own mind, and can be extremely painful and unpleasant. The 4th and last level is the 4th, and the most dangerous. At this point your mind and body becomes disconnected giving you a out of body experience and can damage your brain, your personality, your body just everything. It also causes you to hurt mentally I mean things like this cause dependence and other horrible things that will effect you forever.
In conclusion, never do this. This is stupid and people do overdose. Just because it's easy to acquire doesn't mean it's not dangerous. It's never too late to stop even if you've started.
