I Am Your Peer Leader!











This past fall I was asked to be a Peer Leader for a forum of freshman. The forum is meant to guide them through their first semester of school and to give them insight into topical issues. My forum looked at global issues and perspectives. I met Kelsey on her very first day at Edgewood! She is now one of my best friends. It was Kelsey who got me to sign up for alternative break! Here are some photos from our time in Kentucky!

Spring Break in Kentucky

I spent my spring break in David, Kentucky volunteering at an alternative school. It was a week of growth and a week of fun.


A friend...thinking...

Ryan and Stephanie had a wheel barrow race while we moved a tree that had fallen down...

Ryan won in the end because Stephanie hit a rock...

One of my besties, Kelsey...

Cartwheels...

More Cartwheels...

Kelsey and I

The trees have started to bloom...spring is on its way...

Belfast or Bust...Officially!


I think this photo story board says it all...but for clarification...I was officially accepted to study abroad at Belfast Metropolitian College in Belfast, Nothern Ireland!

Whispers of Life...

I have been feeling very absent from a lot in the last couple of weeks and months. I think some of reasons for these feelings are because of being lost in thought. I have had a lot to think about and many of those thoughts just can't be expressed. They are like the light clouds that don't actually seem like cloud, but seem like whispers in the sky. The other night it seems like some of those whispers finally drifted away, yet I still wonder when they will come back. If they will come back. Life is strange like that, I guess. Some of the whispers are from my past and dealing with hurt and anger for the things that have happened in my life. Other whispers are thoughts and questions that I have tried to hide, yet they have surfaced. Many whispers are regaurding my future and the dreams that yet to materialize.

Life is funny sometimes...as I say this, I smile flickers on my face. It is funny at times.
