What is the PEC?  An organization called “Parents for Exceptional Children” is also known as the PEC. It is a New Jersey based group of families who advocate for children with special needs.   Who are the PEC children? The PEC children have special needs in some capacity.

Who would have known that while working hard in my Writing for the Media college course, I would have the interview of my life. I had been attending the Knick’s vs. Milwaukee Bucks basketball game at Madison Square Garden on February 6, 2018 when my name suddenly appeared on the scoreboard screen as the winner of the “Up Close and Personal” floor seat at the foul line. Along with my win came the opportunity to interview a player of my choosing at the end of the game. Every person who was seated in my section, in front of the handrail, was invited to the floor when the final score was called. But what would follow was a miracle for me even though it was a very unfortunate situation.

Immediately after the fall that sent him flying over the foul line, a group of professionals huddled the fallen player and the game was put on hold. Within seconds, I was asked to j...

Even though people could not believe he would risk his own life in search of four-legged felines and canines, he said "I love it". He has a huge heart and reported that "people don't believe me, they say it's got to be barking crazy. But no. They know I'm the Alpha dog and I'm not here to hunt them." Rescue shelters across the South placed Facebook posts about the rescue operation of the animals others would not take. Alsup reminds us that "it's so easy for people to adopt the small pets and the cuties and the cuddly. We take on the one s that deserv...
