The Death of A Super Star Althelte

Aaron Hernandez died this morning from committing suicide. I struggled with this because I don't know much of the story, even after reading a couple articles. He was acquitted and still committed suicide. I'm thankful for life everyday no matter the circumstances or the outcome at the end of the day because I wake up a free man that lives to see another day.

His death was "a shocking and sad end to a very tragic series of events that has negatively impacted a number of families," said Bristol County District Attorney Thomas Quinn, who prosecuted Hernandez in the Lloyd case.

They said if they had seen signs they would have moved him to a mental observation wing.
It's sad he took his life but it happens. Watch your Karmatic footprint people and do good to others don't cause unjustified pain that could end you up in a situation like this man. He has left a void in a case that would be solved faster, in his child's life and the NFL community.

I'm not going to justify this with a hash tag and he did what he did.

Suicide prevention is key to not losing a friend or family members life. If you feel suicidal talk to someone and try to express yourself so you can get help. If you're lacking in the ability to talk with someone close reach out to a help line.

I struggle with depression and some of my peers on here have vocally expressed that they are supporters of suicide prevention or even have thought about it. I don't know if a couple of our friends' lives could have been saved but it's sad that they masked the pain so well. If you're the friend or loved one and they have show signs of needing help don't brush them off. It could mean the world for them today or the grave tomorrow.

- One Love and Live Furiously Happy

To Whom the Bell Tolls

 Hi, my name is Joshua Harke and I’m from Syracuse, NY. I’ve lived in Charlotte since I was 13 years old. In the summer of 1994, we moved to Charlotte, NC. It was a huge culture shock and life change for a new teenager. I went to a few different schools here; I went to Randolph Middle School for 7 th grade and I was bullied there so my parents moved me the next school year to Bible Baptist Christian Academy in Matthews. I liked it there and played soccer in middle school. I also attended church there with my family. I transferred schools after my junior year to United Faith Christian Academy. I loved it there and grew into a great high school athlete. I played in the praise band and played soccer, baseball was even the mascot, and outside of school, I played ice hockey on a local team and for the Junior, Checkers travel team. I made Who’s Who Among Highschool Americans my senior year. I also couldn’t decide what I wanted to be as an adult and that’s fine. I had an internship in a ...

The Only Time Consitancy Sucks

  I'm constantly reminded every morning that I have a disease. I take a few little pills that make life relatively easier. Today isn't one of those days. I'm super frustrated, sad, and have a crazy headache. It's not that I enjoy talking about the reality of what goes on in my brain, this is new the talking about it, within the past couple of years. It's like tons of information got held back and for a while, I just talked and talked. I've gone through a lot and I'm really proud of myself for working hard and getting back into school last spring. I'm proud of how hard I work at simple life tasks that people take for granted. I'm proud of how hard I work just at a job and what I hope is seen by employers as my integrity. I'm really proud of being able to coach kids in flag football and how much I really enjoy it. Life is much better than it was even 2 years ago to a year ago. I keep moving forward and marching towards a brighter future. A lot of ...

Education Inequalities Based on Class, Gender, and Race/Ethnicity

 This is a discussion that I posted in my Sociology of Education class here at UNCC and the dialogue following. 1. I think that today in the climate of education being a minority can have its advantages for education. I feel that being a mixed male special education teaching student might afford me a better chance to obtain job placement when I graduate and being that there are fewer males in elementary teaching roles now. That's my intersectionality. I believe that the demand for minority teachers is good for me but they shouldn't place a male in a teaching role if they're not qualified same as a woman, it just so happens that it's a role that is needed to be filled in society. 2. Attention should most certainly be given to economic segregation. It should be addressed but as the problem that whites have been afforded a head start in the game. It's like a video I just watched in Child Psych. If we as a society could get over living in white-walled neighborhoods wher...
