Fifth Week of School

Hello bloggers,

HORRAY...I finally finished reading "At Risk"!!! It was such a great book, I enjoyed it to the last page where it ended beautifully, and left me to my thoughts.
I am going to the library this Friday to watch the assigned movies that we have to watch and start writing the report on each one of them. I also need to go get my HIV testing done because it's almost time to do module three.

I don't know about you guys but I loved module 2 last week. It was full of helpful and interesting information about our bodies and how the disease takes control of us! Completely LOVED it.

DID YOU KNOW?
Did you know that a research study conducted in the University of California showed that between1991 and 1997 there was an increase in the percentage of people who said that AIDS patients deserve their illness!
"In 1999, 41% believed they could get AIDS from using public toilets, compared to 34% in 1991. And 50% of those surveyed in 1999 believed that they could get AIDS from being coughed on by a person with AIDS, compared to 46% in 1991."
