Hello all! I am posting this so that you will all have the opportunity to see what a typical welcoming post will look like. By Thursday (the 30th) I want you all to have a welcome post of your own up on your blog. This welcome post should include the following information:
Your name (whatever you have told me to call you in class, preferably)
The most dangerous thing that you have ever done. This does not have to be something physically dangerous--emotionally, mentally, and spiritually dangerous things are a lot more common in most of our lives. For example, if you have ever been set up on a date with a friend, that can be extremely dangerous. If you have ever had to confront something that frightens you, that is quite dangerous to you, even if it wouldn't seem dangerous to someone else. If you have done something that risks life and limb, you can use that, but even if you aren't a risk-taker, you have still done dangerous things.
As an example, I'll post my own introduction:
My name is Josh Mattern, and I will be your instructor for this class. The most dangerous thing I have ever done, by far, is to become a father. I love my two-year-old son Christian; he is my heart and soul. However, he scares me on a daily basis. Like all little kids, he is fearless when it comes to his own safety--he bumps into things, falls down stairs, wants to touch (and eat) all kinds of horrible things, and basically keeps me on my toes all the time. In addition to having to protect him phisically, I worry about him--about things I shouldn't worry about yet. I worry if he'll be a good driver once he gets his license, I worry that he'll get picked on once he goes to school, I worry that he'll fall in with a bad crowd and end up in trouble. I shouldn't worry about this stuff--he's only two--but I still do. because of that, being a parent is extremely dangerous as far as I am concerned.
