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! 

Eventually, it was time to attend the gymnastics meet against LSU. We just had to go to a University of Alabama sporting event while staying in Tuscaloosa. Sadly Alabama lost, however, that didn't dictate how fun it was to watch the girls compete! The next day consisted of the same excitement of watching another Alabama sport! Who knew basketball was so much fun to watch? We got to sit on the front row of the student section and loved every minute of it! All in all, the University of Alabama is a great school to look into and to consider being your next step in life. I still have some more college visits left to go, but the University of Alabama has made a great first impression!

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...

The Art of Crochet

  I'd love to know where my idea to do crochet for my CAS project came from, but I honestly have no clue. However, after I was set on it, I came up with an explanation. It is a wonderful outlet to get me off social media, and I could tap into my creative side of life. This past Friday, my stepmom had a baby boy. What is a more perfect gift to give than a baby blanket? To be honest, It probably won't turn out to be a blanket. I strive to make a three-by-three piece of yarn. It is very clear that I have low expectations for myself.  To get started on my crochet journey, I looked up the definition, "A handicraft in which yarn is made up into a patterned fabric by looping yarn with a hooked needle" (Oxford Languages). I was satisfied when the only materials I needed were yarn and a hooked needle. I was even more pleased to find out that they were one dollar each at the store! Now, where to start? Youtube.  I found a woman who created a series of videos for each step to ta...

Recycling for the Family

         Since mid-fall of 2022, I have encouraged my family to recycle. I noticed how much plastic we use and I wanted to reduce that amount. I thought this project was something I am going to complete for my family. I decided to buy a plastic bin so we can dispose of our glass, paper, plastic, and aluminum. As of this month, I can say that we have successfully been recycling for over 7 months! Not only have we been recycling a great amount, but our trash disposal has also gone down drastically. I took this as a Lowry family win!      Every once in a while, I have to remind everyone to dispose of paper, glass, plastic, and aluminum in the recycling bin because sometimes they need a refresher. Whenever our bin gets full, I pack it up in my car along with other bigger cardboard boxes that have been used. The closest recycling center to our house is the Carroll County Recycling Center along Newnan Road. It takes me less than five minutes to get the...
