post 1 - Online Icebreaker!


This is a picture we took on academic excellence night. That day was an especially proud moment for me because I used to a c or b student. As a junior I became very determined to do better in school, studied very hard at school and managed to get straight A's for the 2017-2018 school year. I hope to maintain good grades in all my classes this year!!!

                               Here are four interesting things about me and a lie! 
  • I used to live in Ireland
  • I have traveled to over 10 countries
  • I have broken my leg once
  • I have 3 sisters
  • I know how to speak 5 languages

https://www.pancan.org/news/tips-to-improve-the-taste-of-food-during-treatment/                                           When undergoing treatment for pancreatic cancer there are many side effects, one being that patients may face is a change in how they experience food. Sometimes medications added to treatment regimens can also alter taste and often, the mouth can become dry, and this too can impact taste. One of the tips are that patients can try rinsing or cleaning their mouth just prior to eating using a non-alcohol mouth rinse, anything that contains alcohol is too abrasive. Another is that certain foods can taste unpleasant to some patients, if this is the case, try foods that do not offer complex tastes, and are instead more bland and simple (i.e. use a mild sauce with pasta, or go without sauce altogether). This makes sense to me because when a family friend ...
