Hey Everyone! (09/29/2009)

This weekend was one of my favorites of the semester. The MS Walk took place on campus and there were over 400 walkers walking to find a cure for MS! This means a lot to me, as I was diagnosed almost two years ago. No matter what struggles that I have, I know that my friends will support me no matter what and they will always be there. I have never felt so loved and cared for as I do on the day of the MS Walk each year. In being one of the people who planned the Walk this year, it was amazing to see it all come together and to see everyone working to make sure it all runs smoothly. An added surprised happened the day before the walk, when one of my CL students surprised me with shirts that she had made for several of my closest friends.

Another exciting thing that happened this weekend was Initiation for my sorority! We were able to welcome 11 more sisters into our sorority! It is always an incredible feeling to remember the bond that you have with each of your sisters and to remember the shared values that you have and to remember that although we might all be different, we all love each other and would do anything for each other. I am so glad that I have gotten involved in all that I have at LC.  Each one of those things really shape me into the person that I am. It also helps me to know that I am prepared and ready for the real world after graduation because of the support of all of the people that I have behind me.

In talking about adding people to a group, I had the unique opportunity to talk to the newly admitted students at the Scholarship Competitions that LC hosted this past week. I remember sitting in the same seats and listening to a student talk as I was deciding on what college to attend. It is such a great experience and a time to talk to students and potential students about all of the things that have helped to create the person that I have become. This has been a great week to be a Hornet; I am glad that I am one.
