Hiking with the Environmental Club

 



Last Saturday, the environmental club and I went on a hike at Cochran Mill Park! This was a really fun and cool experience to share with some of my classmates and other club members that I haven't gotten the opportunity to converse with. The day started off with myself and three other girls riding to the hike. Since I was the driver, there were pretty good songs on the loop during the trip! I enjoyed this part because I got to get closer with some girls in my classes that I haven't been able to in the past. When we got there, there were tons of bikers and horses. I thought this was a weird setting for horses, but to each their own I guess! After we all took turns using the restroom, our hiking experience was soon to begin!

One of the first things we saw on our trail was a huge waterfall! It was gorgeous. Once we all took a picture beside it, we chose which hiking trail we were to go on. The options were yellow, blue, red, orange, and green. We chose the green one because it was supposedly longer but had more sights! Our trail was nice and steady at the beginning, meaning that there weren't too many obstacles in our way. However, a few short moments later began a more difficult path. The inclined increased significantly and the sun was more present as time continued to pass. Despite these challenges, we stayed together, focused on our goal, and congregated in the meantime. When we completed the hike, we all agreed on Mexican food for our lunch. In conclusion, this hike was an adamant help with improving my relationship with the people around me. It was difficult to find a dull moment during those four hours. I look forward to going on more hikes in the future!

Miss Sparkle Pageant

  This past Saturday, I chose to spend my day volunteering with the Serteen Club at Carrollton High School at the Miss Sparkle Pageant: a pageant that contains the special needs community throughout Carrollton. There are Little Miss, Junior Miss, Teen Miss, and Miss categories which separate the girls into four groups. Within their group, they are judged by about ten judges and are each crowned and given a flower at the end of the ceremony. However, there will be one winner throughout each category. Sometime during the pageant, each girl is escorted by a male member and given a description of who they are and their interests. This whole day was a huge learning experience on my part, but it is one experience I will never get tired of sharing.  At 12:00 p.m. all of the volunteers arrived to help welcome the girls, sign them in, and hang up their dresses so they could attend the pageant rehearsal. While they rehearsed, volunteers continued their role of welcoming contenders. Afte...

CAS Project Final Reflection - 5/6

  As my CAS Project came to a close, it concluded a little over a month ago, I have allowed myself some time to reflect on my experience regarding the planning process and the implications of what led to my final results. It is safe to say that I am nothing short of proud of this project and I have the hope that it will continue on through a rising senior or another member of a club who hopes to provide the school with exposure to a clothing drive. My vision for this project was not only to develop a space where the students of Carrollton High School could shop from each other’s clothes that have no longer been used but to also provide clothing for people who may need extra items that they lack. Looking back, I admire the period leading up to the week of the project. I sought out all of the steps needed to continue the development of the project and had several planning days with just me and my trusty computer. I made connections with people and resources who were crucial in t...
