This project is written by Mary Lewis. This weblog contains my Multi-Genre Research Project for my CD 315 class.

I am a senior at Marshall University, majoring in Communication Disorders. I hope to continue my education in speech therapy by attending graduate school at Marshall after the completion of my undergraduate work this spring. I not sure where I would like to work after I finish my graduate work. I have enjoyed my experiences working with both children and the elderly, so I will probably just work where ever I can find a job.

In addition to school, I work with the elderly. I also have a wonderful family that is very precious to me. My husband is the most generous and caring person that I have ever met in my entire life. His family loves me, and my family tolerates me so what more could I ask from life.

I tried to write a poem to let my readers learn more about me, but after a week of getting nowhere, I decided that I would never be able to express my feelings as well as one of my favorite authors when he wrote the following:

i thank You God for most this amazing
day: for the leaping greenly spirits of trees
and a blue true dream of sky; and for everything
which is natural which is infinite which is yes

(i who have died am alive again today,
and this is the sun's birthday; this is the birth
day of life and of love and wings: and of the gay
great happening illimitably earth)

how should tasting touching hearing seeing
breathing any-lifted from the no
of all nothing-human merely being
doubt unimaginable You?

(now the ears of my ears awake and
now the eyes of my eyes are opened)

e. e. cummings

I hope you enjoy this project as much as I have enjoyed the effort of completing it.
