She went to college at the University of Huston for nursing and continued her education at the University of Texas, School of Nursing; she graduated in 1986. In 1993, she married Rusty Yates, a devout follower of Michael Peter Woroniecki’s teachings which communicated that if a mother didn’t bring her children up correctly, she and her children were doomed to hell. Andrea, convinced he was right, later referenced some of Pastor Woroniecki’s teachings in court. The fertile couple had four sons over the period between 1994 and 1999. In 1999, Andrea attempted suicide twice before she was treated for her post-partum depression which was already provoked by her present mental imbalance, the family’s overcrowded living conditions, and Andrea’s refusal to take her medication. The doctor told Andrea and Rusty not to have any more children. Andrea was prescribed medication and sent back home to mother her children. She appeared to be getting better and Rusty began pressuring Andrea to…

    Kayla Cloward died October 28th due to blunt force trauma to the head in a car crash at the age of 14, and was born March 17th. Kayla’s childhood was what you could call good. She lived in Blackfoot all her life, and never got a chance to experience what it’s like to live in another state, let alone a town.

Some would say her childhood was lovely, she had one younger brother and an older brother, and two caring parents who loved her dearly. When she was younger she played on a little hill by her house, and in the winter, her and her brother’s would often go sledding down it. Besides that little hill, she would often go on walks with her parents.…

    On February 7th, 2017 Betsy DeVos was confirmed as the Secretary of Education. Betsy is a billionaire from Michigan who has little to no experience with education. The only experience she has with education is the schooling that she had taken part of when growing up. She never experienced education in the role of a professional educator. The Secretary of Education doesn’t mean much to most people but this cabinet position touches and deals with the education that is given to our youth and future. DeVos also has no experience with the disabled. She stated that she was unfamiliar with the law that protects the students with disabilities. Electing Betsy is a huge concern for myself and many others. As a future educator, I know and understand the…

    Princess Potsy. A Princess combined with Potsy, or Potluri. What is this strange name? Well, it’s mine. It started out as my brother as a joke within the debate team, but then, I came along. The days where I started working on debate were the days that Princess Potsy became viral. Some say it’s because our facial structure is exactly alike, but when a kind person named Daisy, who you probably know as Jenna, decided to call my brother Queen, I got stuck being Princess Potsy, or Princess for short. My brother Vamsi got the nickname Queen Potsy, and I inherited his old nickname, as I with other things, and now I am Princess Potsy.…

    Since 2006 I've watched a number of Sandra Lee's "Semi-Homemade Cooking" episodes on The food Network; what captivated me from the beginning was both Sandra Lee's impeccable personal style and the elegance of her kitchen, which she changes for each episode. Sandra Lee is remarkably easy on the eyes - a modern-day throwback to the style, grace and beauty of the 1950's. That crispness is what she represents. Sandra Lee's originality is beyond compare and while she gives credit to her beloved paternal grandmother for instilling in her the love of baking and decorating, Sandra Lee's inventiveness is entirely her own. Many have grown up in challenging circumstances but not everyone can tastefully design a small apartment with inexpensive fabrics.…
