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!

College Visit to Alabama

  The University of Alabama has been a big part of my family for many years. My parents received their master's from Alabama and I have many friends and family who have gone there or at least applied to the school. Because college is coming soon and it is time to narrow down my choices, I decided to travel to Tuscaloosa during winter break to scope out the school! This wasn't my first time visiting, however, this would be the first time that I explored the school with a student who attends the university.  Our first goal of the trip was to get a tour of the campus. Because she had a meeting at the beginning of the day and our schedule was tight, she gave my friend, Amelia, and me a ride around the campus. She gave a really good and thorough tour around the school and it was very helpful in regard to what I should be looking for in a school. Afterward, we got lunch and had to shop, of course. No matter what school I will end up going to, I will have to know the best stores!...

Carroll County's Military Ball

  This past Saturday, April 15th, I attended Carroll County's Military Formal hosted by all of the county schools. This event is designed for JROCT members from the county schools to recognize special guests and veterans who act as role models for all cadets. I got invited by my brother who is a freshman at Central High School. He is new to the school and wanted someone to attend with him. I couldn't say no and I am glad I didn't! It was a great learning experience.  The event started at approximately 5:00pm. Remember that this is a very formal event so I had to wear a dress like you would wear to prom. I enjoy being at formal events, but this was like no other event I've been to! We started off the evening by meeting the guests of honor and shaking each of their hands. They were very friendly and easy to talk to! I was very eager to get to know some of them. Next, we joined about 100 other people in a room full of fully set tables and drinks ready to be used. Not too l...

My Best Friends are Third Graders

 Ever since I was the ripe age of 6, I was addicted to playing teacher. I couldn't get enough! I had four students and they were the same students I used every time I played school. My family used to have this room in our house called the "classroom." This was only a craft room, but to me it was my classroom! I used to beg my sister, mom, grandparents, and my friends when they would come over to play school with me. Because of my whole childhood consisting of teaching, grading fake papers, and giving fake presentations, I was set on being a school teacher. But is that the same case now? The want to teach has worn off for me right now. Pretty sad isn't it? Well, in my second semester of 9th grade, I started the Teaching as a Profession pathway. This regained my love for teaching others a little bit! I think the question to ask now is, "I love teaching and being in a leadership position, but do I really want to be doing it in a classroom?" I really enjoy this ...
