- Teachers Discuss Angry and Violent Adult Students Part 3of4All of us on the planet are students with a variety of personalities and styles of learning. It is our right to protest injustices that negatively affect our path to succeed. Unfortunately, depending on our psychological make-up we may express our perceived or real injustices as anger and blame. Either the blame/anger is on others or ourselves about why we did not finish a project or degree, train for a career we enjoy, or make an adequate income to support a family or ourselves. The main object of blame in today's world is the government system and we must figure out ways to reduce our anger and avoid giving up and turning to violence.

- Homeless: A CHOICE for the holidays-Cong. Valenzuela?Statistics for the homeless are startling but there are many who do not believe the numbers are really true. We are talking about the United States of America so there must be some mistake! Hungry and homeless students in our schools, teachers facing foreclosures, and Veterans sleeping in the cold, disabled persons with limited or no services. Many say this has got to be their “choice” because we Americans would never allow this type of situation to take place. This can’t be a real crisis in the USA because it is not broadcasted during the day or peak time hours on TV or radio. Are we choosing to ignore the realities?

- What Do You Feed Your Mental Self? Part 3 of 3What do you hunger for? If you perceive yourself as “dis-abled” it may be that you hunger to be “–abled”. Have you any idea what it feels like to be “really” hungry? The first thought that comes to mind when we speak about hunger is the food we consume by mouth. The horrible pangs of hunger cannot be imagined by most of us but the statistics are startling. If we can imagine the pain and suffering caused by the lack of physical food maybe we can understand how the mind feels when it is not stimulated by good mental food like hope, knowledge, positivity, and LOVE! Join Professor Applewhite and the great staff at White Apple Institute for this intense discussion about “HUNGER”.

- SPECIAL: Giving Thanks to the UnemployedWhat a controversial thought! How can anyone think of giving thanks for someone being unemployed or underemployed in these times of “economic recession” and “corporate greed”. Students and teachers must use caution when making statements like these when discussing someone’s perceived or real misfortunes. One of the most difficult challenges we face, regardless of our religious beliefs, is how to be truly thankful when our needs have not been met for a very long time. The basic needs of putting food on the table, providing a roof over our heads, winter clothing, gas in the car, heat in the house and so many other things an unemployment check won’t allow us to buy anymore is a frightening situation for many of us. In addition, the holiday season of gift-giving is here and we can’t do for ourselves and others the way we used to. Listen to our inspiring show or share your story of how you are able to participate in “thanks-giving”.

- What Do You Feed Your Mental Self? Part 1 of 3What Do You Feed Your Mental Self? Part 1of 3Most people are aware of the importance of feeding our physical bodies the right type of foods. Some of us are even familiar with the concept of spiritual food and claim to know what is needed to “satisfy the soul” in order to reap rewards in the afterlife. In the same line of thought students and teachers at all levels must understand what mental food is and what is needed to “satisfy the mind” to enjoy the rewards in our present life. In three episodes, Professor Applewhite, the staff of White Apple Institute http://whiteappleinstitute.organd invited guests will share the basic nutritional needs of our brain, why the brain must work properly to be used by the mind, how the mind creates an image of the mental self that is different from the physical and spiritual selves, and how the mental self can become malnourished by what we feed it!

- Don’t Let Labels Fool You- Part 3of 3Labels or stereotypes placed on us in our educational systems carry the most weight in determining our success as adults in the workforce. We do have a choice as to whether we wear those labels that have followed us from pre-school to post-high school ages or we can change what our labels say about us. This is especially tue for those who have been enrolled in special education programs. We are going to wear labels whether we like it or not because it makes it easier to understand each other and the things in our world but how do you chose the right label for you and what should it say?

About Ask Dr. Applewhite
From the publisher's feed
The ASK DR. APPLEwhite Program is hosted by Danita Applewhite PhD CRC (Ret.), a U S Army Veteran, founder/director of White Apple Institute, retired professor of psychology, and certified counselor…
in the fields of vocational rehabilitation and independent living for over 40 years. Dr. Applewhite experiences disability from both sides of the desk as a professional and as a person with multiple disabilities. The program has been on Blog Talk Radio since 2009 and YouTube since 2018 and is dedicated to exploring the core principles of the disability rights movement. The program was started to address disability discrimination issues faced by adult students, inclusive of military veterans and has evolved to express the needs and challenges of all adults with visible and non-visible disabilities. Encouraged by the feedback of listeners, The Ask DR. APPLEWHITE Program is moving beyond the framework of disability rights and recognizing the need to expand and promote the disability justice movement. The program will delve deeply into the intersectional nature of disability, examining how ableism is intertwined with racism, sexism, politics, law, classism, social economics and other systems of oppression.
In collaboration with for-profit and nonprofit organizations, The ASK DR. APPLEWHITE Program has helped thousands "accept the challenge to change the perception of 'dis-abled' to 'differently-abled". The program focuses on a variety of topics that help listeners effectively manage living with disability, including chronic pain, emotional stress, learning and motivation issues, sexuality, and more. HEAR "down to earth”, controversial discussions, and success stories with guests, including professionals in education, counseling, social work, health care (mental and physical), and employment (Human Resources), that will improve performance and success in the workplace and classroom while managing life as a differently-abled person!
The ASK DR. APPLEWHITE Program sponsors White Apple Institute, a nonprofit public charity and home of the Differently-Abled Network (DAN). Ninety percent of net proceeds from sponsorships and membership fees are provided to the DAN. Your tax deductible DONATION at www.whiteappleinstitute.org helps provide financial resources and outreach to underserved persons with disabilities such as bus passes, minor car repairs, childcare, equipment repairs, test fees, work uniforms, and more to restore hope and prevent them from dropping out of life!
