How I tried to self medicate my depression by doing sportsAndré Cedik
Living a developers life makes you more susceptible to mental illnesses like depression. However, these things have always been stigmatised and therefore are a tricky thing to talk about. That is because people naturally assume the worst. Depression e.g. can get pretty serious, leading to a disconnect with the world and finally ending with a person taking his/her own life.
In my talk, I'll explain the hows and whys of depression based on what I’ve experienced first hand. You will hear about how I slowly recognized that something might be wrong with my life. I’ll show you the unusual way I tried to self medicate my symptoms instead of reaching out to family or friends. You will also hear a few strategies that have helped me dealing with my depression.

Establishing procedures within the first few days of class is essential in order to establish a comfortable learning environment where students know and understand teacher and class expectations. I show this slideshow on the first day to briefly go over procedures. I also post these procedures/expectations on a bulletin board for the first weeks of school.

program through www.readingplus.com, and enter hia117 as the site
key.
3. You are required to log onto the program and complete 3 sessions per

and takes 30 minutes to complete. This will be checked weekly (see the

4. The Reading Plus program states that this program will greatly improve
your reading skills and increase your FCAT scores in reading if you try
your hardest and complete a minimum of 40 sessions before you take the
FCAT. Thus, you must put in maximum effort to see results. Prizes and
recognition will be given to students making improvements in their
reading.
5. If you do not have a computer or internet access at home, you can
complete these assignments at a relative or friend’s house. Additionally,
you can go to the public library, use the school’s library during lunch, or
use a computer in Ms. Allen’s room when we are finished early in class
one day or if you finish early in another class. Not having a computer or
internet access at your home is not an excuse for not completing these
assignments.
