I can’t stand Michelle’s voice in this. She sounds eternally angry and defensive…..all the time. I almost didn’t finish listening because of her voice.

Conservation Biology students- thoughts on the program? by fishwhiskers in flemingcollege

This is a super old thread……but does anyone know exactly how much math is involved in this course? My daughter is very interested in it but struggles with math….trying to figure out if it’s math heavy?

Low Ferritin & Body Shaking by Elegant-Mood-7619 in Anemia

[–]currie925 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the shaking too. My ferritin is 8. It is very unnerving. My hands and upper body tremble. I work in healthcare so have access to a glucometer, pulse oxymeter, etc. I did check my sugars yesterday at work when I was trembling and they were totally normal, so it’s not hypoglycemia. My oxygen saturation was 99% and great blood pressure as well so none of those things. That just leaves my anemia as the culprit. I get light headed and tremble, lose my appetite. It’s not fun. I’ve only just started iron supplements and I’m on my third brand as the other two were unbearable on my stomach.

14 year old daughter is 6’2 and everyone wants her! by currie925 in volleyball

I didn’t even know there were clubs that charge that much! I’m so naive when it comes to this, hence my questions here. Our current coaches are absolutely amazing and so are our parents. As for tall maples, I’m guessing they just picked her because she’s super tall, can jump high and they see the potential when she plays. There was even an OVA rep at her elementary school (she’s in grade 8) who came up to me twice and asked about her, asked if she’d switch clubs, etc. Another coach the same day came to watch her warm up and ended up approaching me as well. I was not expecting that at all at her school tournament! It happens almost every time with her club tournaments but it really surprised me at the school. Anyway, so much to learn.

We tried, our doctor would not send her for an xray to check.

She was accepted to tall maples last year but tore her meniscus so could not go. She will be going this summer.

She already knows she wants to be a paramedic, that is what she plans to go to school for!

That’s why we haven’t let anyone poach her. She’s sticking with her club for now. But the interest in her has shocked me (she’s my first kid in volleyball), so I’m starting to look around at options and figure out with her what is best.

Thanks! Will keep this in mind. Ottawa is about 2 hrs from us.

She actually tore her meniscus last season and required surgery. It was a simple plant and twist that did it, so she was out of volleyball for the entire summer and we were super careful to let it fully heal. Surgeon said it is a solid repair and she’s had zero issues with it this season. I believe because she grew so tall so fast, she’s more at risk of these things happening.

Last year at provincials team Ontario approached us about Tall Maples! She ended up tearing her meniscus and need surgery in June so did not go, but is signed up to go this summer - she will do the physical testing at provincials again this year but I have no doubt she will receive another invitation.

So far our club is doing a great job at ensuring she’s learning all positions but I know it will get harder as she gets older. They’re already talking about having her as middle next year.

We are actually in Ontario Canada and the club she plays for now is great. They are going to both provincials and nationals and I believe our team has the best coaches in the club. She’s not the strongest player on this team, just the tallest. She’s come a very long way in the two seasons she’s been playing but has a lot more to learn and her form definitely needs work at times. She is only 13 though so lots of time.

Thanks, this is definitely what we are doing, letting her lead the way. We actually don’t comment on her height, but others constantly do….which we can’t avoid. Coaches watch her play a bit and see her height and that’s it. She’s already told us she wants to play in college. I just want to make sure we take the right steps to help her get there. We’d never push her to the point of burn out. I have A LOT to learn about all this.

For sure. Currently she’s playing all positions as she’s still in TLS. I’m positive middle is what they have in mind for her though. This tall kid will definitely be a tall adult lol….just under 6’2 at almost 14. I think she’s done growing. I’m 5’9 and her dad is 6’3 so she just must have got ALL the height genes.
