Week 7 Reading Part A

The Two Frogs

 This story was very simple compared to those of the previous units. I kind of like that because then I am able to be more creative when retelling the story. After reading this story I think that I would maybe change the frogs to another animal of my choosing. Even if I keep them as frogs or if I change them to another animal for an example a turtle when they meet each other half way to the journey to the other frog's town I may have them somehow turn into humans. I think this makes it a little bit more interesting instead of them just going back to their towns after they realize that the towns are the mirror image of each other. When they turn into humans I will have them be twins and switch lives with each other, similar to that of the movie " Parent Trap". I really enjoyed this story and the simplicity of it allowed for me to be a bit more creative than normal.

This past summer I spent my time interning at the Four Seasons Resort in Dallas.

When I have free time ( which is never), I enjoy spending time with my family at the lake, working out, and shopping. During the school year, I work at Orangetheory Fitness in Moore. I love working here because it is a fun atmosphere and it encourages me to work out. My favorite thing about OU is the football! I have grown up an OU fan and always look forward to the hustle and bustle that game day brings. I am really sad that this will be my last y...
