Parent Job Interview

First I interviewed my mom, Patty Henry. She is a dental hygeinist and says she enjoys her job because she gets to work with the public and promote oral health. Next, I interviewed my dad, Kenny Henry. He is a nurse at MOTT Children's Hospital in Ann Arbor. He also likes his job because he gets the opportunity to help children and make a difference in their lives.

Theodore Roosevelt and the River of Doubt

In 1913 Theodore Roosevelt went on an expedition, after an embarassing elction loss, to explore the River of Doubt. The river is located in the Brazilian rain forest. On the trip, he brought with him his co-commander Candido Rondon, a Brazilian explorer and his son Kermit. Both Roosevelt and Kermit suffered from malaria. Roosevelt also suffered from an infection in his leg. On the trip they faced strong rapids, starvation, disease and attacks. In the end, they made it through the expedition and came out alive.
