Those are some pictures from 2011. Within this last year I graduated high school, I turned 19, I'm going to my dream college, I am in sorority meeting my friends and sisters for life, and I've grown as a person.
When I first got to Drake University I thrived. We had our door open all the time, I was constantly meeting new people, and I was so excited for everything. Then a few weeks in I got homesick, I missed being home with my mom, my cats, and I missed my ex-boyfriend Tony. Then I rushed for sorority. I was so upset when Alpha Delta Pi was the only soroity interested in me, but my mom told me to finish recruitment. I'm so glad that my mom is smart and told me to stick with it. I loved ADPi on the last night of recruitment, and I joined. I'm going to be philanthropy chair for the year 2012. I've met a lot of great girls, and I'm sure I'm going to be friends with them for life. (Emily, Sarah, Amy, Nichole, Rory, Bre, Megan.)
So I got friends. I wasn't homesick anymore. I just needed to really choose my major. I was PR and English, but that didn't feel right. So I tried Technical Theatre Design and Writing. Didn't fit. So now I'm a double major Secondary education endorsement in english and possibly theatre and reading and my second major is writing. I think this is a great mix: I enjoy kids, I love to write, and I want to change the world.
Speaking of majors, I have one more class that needs to post and then I will offically know my final grades for my first semester at college. For my scholarhsip I needed to keep a 2.5, I currently have based off 5 out of 6 classes a 3.45 GPA. (Pretty good for first semester, and I got a B in Ethics the hardest class I've ever taken.)
I've grown up a lot I'm more mature and I've been through a little bit more. My friend Scott from high school passed away and my Grandma Virginia passed away.
Even with the sadness, I have to say it has been a great year. Thank you to all my family and friends for your support and help while I attend college. I love you all, Merry Christmas, Happy New Years, and God bless every one of you.
