How did the Interview Go?
Greetings Readers.
My birthday is tomorrow! I had my interview with Leadership Somerset on Tuesday, It was so fun. I arrived at Jefferson about 9:00am that day. I got there, signed in and said, "Hello" to everyone. I spoke with a couple of teachers before going into the Leadership Office, when I went into the Office I prepared everything I will need for the interview.
Waiting...Waiting...Finally, with a smile the interviewer comes in and meets me at the Gymnasium. I shake her hand, and greet her, "Hello, I'm Vashon Hill." She introduces herself to me, while we are in the Gym; I introduced her to the Co-Director of The Leadership Project. After that, we started the tour around the school. I even introduced her to my Kindergarten Students. After that, she spoke with School Principal Scot R. Burkholder, who said some very nice and encouraging things about myself and the program. Finally, my actual interview, we went down into a Private Office to talk about myself. She asked questions like who are my hero's. My Mom, Anderson Cooper (TV News Anchor- something I am interested in doing) and Tyler Perry (who inspires all with his success). After the interview, Kindergarten and 1st Grade students were in lunch. So, I walked down to the cafeteria and saw my students. They all gave me a big group hug. I was so happy to see all of them.
MY PERSPECTIVE: I thought the interview went very well. I can't wait to share it with you all once I recieve it. I had a great time with her, and I was pleased over with the questions that she asked. I shared with her what are some of TLP's long term goals. Which she seemed excited about. She also asked, Where I get my energy from? I get my energy from helping people, knowing I have made a difference in someone's life make's me happy. Finally, tomorrow is my BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am excited, I'll be 17. Happy Birthday to me!
With You For Leadership,

Superbowl XLV
Hi Readers, recently I have been asked by a Leadership Somerset Member to interview me for her class. I was very pleased when I recieved the e-mail. My Interview is scheduled for Tuesday and I can't wait!! The Interviewer will be asking me questions about myself and gaining information about The Leadership Project.
And Now to the GREEN and GOLD- Congratulations to the Green Bay Packers. They won the SUPERBOWL XLV. It was a very competitive as I watch the game from my Living Room on our Projector Screen. I knew they would win, I am NOT a fan of either because; I am just not a fan of Football but I love the Superbowl. My family had a BIG party at my house. We had Food and Fun, it was a great day to end out the weekend.
MY PERSPECTIVE: I can't wait till my Interview on Tuesday!!! Once again, Congratulations to the Packers on their victory last night! I hope you all have a great week. I will have more about my interview with the Leadership Somerset. I can't wait to see what type of questions they are going to ask me about The Leadership Project and myself.

2nd Murder of 2011
Hi Readers!
BREAKING NEWS
The shooting happened at the 400 Block of John Street in Plainfield a little after midnight. The police found Lovely shot in the head.

Swinging Into 2011
Good Morning Readers!
Most of us are heading back to office and school. For myself, I am ready to get back into school. But I bet by Wednesday, getting over that "Hump Day" will be the challenge.
January has hit us, and that means Midterms! Midterms at my school are a very big deal. So students are preparing for their tests. Wish me Luck.
MY PERSPECTIVE: I just wanted to wish you all a Happy New Year. 2011 will hold a new experience for us all. Remember, 2011 A Year of Goals and Success.
That's all for me now,
With You For Leadership,

The Weather Girl Who Cried Wolf
Hi Readers!
BREAKING NEWS 
WABC-TV/Channel 7- Weather Meteorologist Heidi Jones was arrested for lying about a false rape in Central Park.
Here's the story, On the afternoon of September 24th, Heidi told the Police that she was jogging and a Hispanic-Latino man in his mid 30's or 40's grabbed her from behind and pulled dragged her off the walking path behind bushes by a wooded area and attempted to rape her. She told police that her "rapist" was scared off by two-passers who came to rescue her. The cops were suspect about Jones' "story." The first clue to why they were suspect was why she waited until a day before Thanksgiving, November 24th; two months later to report the alledged attack. During which, Heidi told the police that he showed up to her apartment, three days earlier, November 21st and harassed her, saying "I know you went to the police!" After the meeting, Investigators and Detectives searched hard and long for witnesses and video. After they couldn't find anything, they went to talk to Heidi again and noticed some wet spots in her story. Heidi finally admitted that she had lied about the story and wanted some sympathy for her personal set-backs she was experiencing in her personal life; saying she felt "personal and professional pressures." She told her co-workers at Channel 7 in September and everyone was saddened by it. She even had Security Guards escorting her home, because she felt unsafe.
Heidi Jones, who anchor's the weekend evening weather reports and is a fill-in Meteorologist for Sam Champion on Good Morning America. She was charged with arrested Monday, the 13th of December; charged with filing a false report, which is a Class A Misdemeanor. If found guily, Heidi will be placed in jail for up to a year or a $1,000 fine.
MY PERSPECTIVE: I think Heidi should be held accountable, but to what extent? She would spend some time doing something and think about her actions. How about Community Service? Paying a fine? Her News Bio was taken down, but mysteriously reappeared at night. A poster of with her picture that hung in one of the WABC hallways, was taken down. I was very shocked when I found out that it was Heidi Jones, from Channel 7. Speechless! It has been said that she (Heidi) never really "gelled" with any of the other women at the station, you never knew where she would go with any story, she was sort of out for herself. If attention was what she wanted, she should have brought a puppy, went shopping, or went out with some friends. Co-workers of Heidi felt 'betrayed' by her lies. One staffer said, "We are all like a Family." A Source say, "she was deeply unhappy personally and professionally." "She's a really nice girl. There must be something deeper that we dont know about yet." said another source. It's very sad, I hope all works out for her. She still should serve some type of penalty as any other person would. For more information, please check out this video from FOX News I found on YOUTUBE. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Og6vve5_A54

Saying Goodbye
Hi Readers! I hope you all are staying warm out here in the Bitter Cold. Bundle UPP!
How are you? Wednesday, December 8th, 2010, I had my last lesson with the kindergarten students at Jefferson School. It was a very bitter sweet moment for all of us.
I attempted to make Gooey Goo for the students. Everything was going well, until I did not have enough White Glue. It was very disapointing to the students. They all gave me hugs and said, "Mr. Hill I will miss you very much!" That made my day, some of them even drew me pictures!
Taking this course has meant alot to me, I was able to get first hand experience working with kids MORE, being in a classroom with them, and actually teaching them. Do I want to go into Education? Only time will tell for now, however I do have a back up plan and I am prepared for the future. If I do go into teaching, I would definitely like to come back to Jefferson and teach. I also want to send a special THANK YOU to my Cooperating Teacher Antoinette Barracato. Even though she was away on Maternity Leave, I learned A LOT from her about classroom organization/management, scheduling and procedures, and discipline. Thank you Mrs. Barracato!
MY PERSPECTIVE: I am really considering Education. I definitely want to take this course again Senior Year. It's a very interesting course and you get to go deep into the Pre-Kindergarten, Kindergarten, and First Grade Curriculum.
