John Heibeck Intro Blog

     Hello! My name is John Heibeck (I'll probably show up as Jack on Brightspace/Email; either name works). I was born on February 20, 2006. I enjoy reading, writing, and watching old movies. I'm legally tied for a world record (no, I will not clarify what record I'm tied for). Other than that, there's not too much to know about me.

    A book I recently read that I would highly recommend is Penpal by Dathan Auerbach. The book is about the narrator recalling events from his childhood pertaining to his stalker. It's one of the few horror books I've read that really, truly terrifies me.



Sorry for the poor image quality. It's the best picture I could find.


    Here's a link to an emulator for The Oregon Trail. It's helped me through many a boring day in the past.

    Finally, below is a video by YouTuber hbomberguy about the origins of the anit-vax movement. It's a very interesting watch if you have the time.

    Hi John,

    It's nice to see a familiar face in class! What's your favorite old movie?

    One day, I will hear about which world record you are tied for.

    Hey John, I also like to watch old movies, particularly ones pertaining to the mob. They just randomly popped up on my "you might like" sections of all my streaming services so I just watched a bunch of them.

    Thanks for sharing, John. The video is amusing (I watched a few minutes out of curiosity). My partner purchased a tabletop version of Oregon Trail that we've played a few times. We always die! We are highly amused by it.

My name is Alexandria Rose, and I am 24-years-old. My majors are American Sign Language Interpreting and English. I recently graduated with my first degree in Publishing for Writers. When I was 17, I self-published my first poetry book. Since I was a little girl, writing has been my passion. A book that I love and would recommend to others is Archer's Voice by Mia Sheridan. This novel focuses on bridging the gap in communication.  A website that I love is from Bill Vicars. He has numerous free resources available for anyone interested in learning American Sign Language. This website specifically assists with practicing fingerspelling.  https://asl.ms/ Something I recommend is learning how to play the guitar to introduce yourself!

Tyler Harper- Introduction Blog

 Hello everyone, My name is Tyler Harper. I am 21 years old and a secondary education major, but also intend to graduate with an ESL certificate. Some hobbies of mine include studying Japanese, playing video games, and physically working out. I have lived in PA for most of my life, but also lived in Colorado, Georgia, and South Korea while serving in the military. A book that I recently read was "Babel" by Kuji Furumiya. It's an entertaining fantasy light-novel that incorporates an interesting approach to linguistics and communication.  I'm a pretty big anime fan, so I decided to link Crunchyroll's website.  I'm always down for new anime, television, and movie recommendations, so please help my watchlist expand even more! Some of my favorite series include Fullmetal Alchemist and Frieren: Beyond Journey's End. I'm also reading the manga for Frieren, so it's been a lot of fun seeing scenes I read become animated in the second season.  Something I wo...
