The Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill By Alison Werner, Senior Writer For decades, hundreds of oil wells have been drilled into the ground in the Gulf of Mexico. The deep-water wells consist of a pipe that carries the oil up from the deep ocean floor to a platform that floats on the water’s surface. There the oil is collected and shipped to land for us to use.  Member SpotlightTuesday, 06 July 2010 00:00 | | |
Milton Whitley
In July 2007, at the age of fifty-two, Milton Whitley began working with a basic literacy tutor at the Literacy Council of Montgomery County (LCMC) in Maryland. At that time, he was unable to recite and print the complete alphabet; was unfamiliar with many letter sounds; and was at a loss when attempting to read all but a few words. While his profound desire to become a full participant in life led him to seek assistance from the Literacy Council, he harbored a great deal of self-doubt about his ability to learn how to read and write. After years of failure and frustration, Milton believed that he was “unteachable.” The shame he felt—and his fear that others would find out—impacted every aspect of his life. “I was born and raised in this country, but I felt like a prisoner,” Milton said. “I was basically a dead man walking.” He had faced unemployment, struggled with drugs and alcohol, and for a time, lived in a shelter.
