The World of Speech Pathology

Speech therapy a cinch with new tongue technology By  Wendy Leonard ,  Deseret News Published: Wednesday, July 20 2011 8:28 a.m. MDT View 4 photos » Speech language pathologist Jennifer Harris helps Dayton Kinzer, 12, use a palatometer for speech therapy at CompleteSpeech in Provo on Monday, July 18, 2011. Kristin Murphy, Deseret News OREM — Over the years, Dayton Kinzer has learned how to hold his tongue when he speaks. He is very aware of every lift, thrust, curl and tuck that it can do as he articulates himself. "It's hard to control all the muscles in your mouth," the 12-year-old said. But it was even harder just three months ago. Kinzer has been in speech therapy almost as long as he's been talking, according to his mother, but after making what she says is "miraculous progress" in 20 intense recent sessions, he is taking a break. "It's like night and day difference," Kinzer's mother Stacy B...

Food = Culinary Art

Many people around the world share a lot of similarities through food. Most of them have been inspired to cook from either a childhood memory, where their parents made something extraordinary, or at a restaurant where they ate something that they never forgot. When I was young, my parents used to take me to my uncle’s fish market. That was when I was introduced to fresh fish eggs. I thought it was weird at first but he made me try it with some crabmeat sticks and rice (like a sushi roll). To my surprise, I was amazed by the texture and the taste of it. It’s weird right? Ever since that day, I started to appreciate every food I ate. I am always trying to figure what ingredients the chef’s put in the food and try to make my own version of it. I always have so much fun cooking and that is when I realized majoring in culinary arts is something I will love and succeed in.

Programming

Having to be a programmer is a great career. Very flexible hours, high salary, not to mention the overwhelming sense of enjoyment... right? Okay, so maybe sitting in front of screen debugging thousands of lines of code for several hours just to find you used the wrong set of quotation marks isn't exactly the average American Dream, however it is something that I am in love with. The greatest feeling for me(aside from seeing my lovely significant other) is to come up with a new innovative idea, and make it come to life. That is what programmers do.. all those android and apple applications comes from developers who had a dream, logically thought out how to create it, and then just set themselves with a project. These applications can take up to months to create. However the end-product is always satisfying(or so i believe). I myself am still a beginner programmer studying Java and VBA. However I will one day come up and develop my own apps, in order to litera...

Food = Culinary Arts

Food. The word food always brings a smile to my face. I think about food every second of my life. (I mean, who doesn’t?) I love food! I love everything about food; cooking, baking, eating, buying cookbooks, reading food blogs, and watching cooking channels. Like music, I believe food brings people together from all over the world. No matter where you are from or what your culture is, food will be something that we will all have in common. From cooking with the similar ingredients to similar cooking method. This is why I want to major in culinary arts, and become a great chef. I want to create food that will bring smiles to people faces.
