Quick Update.. End of School :)




Hello everybody...just a quick update on my life..
I finished my sophomore year at Western New England College, which is very exciting! Time is just going by so fast… Both semesters this year I received at 4.0 GPA, which is really an accomplishment considering all of the time and effort that I put into my studies. My cumulative GPA is now a 3.9.. so I am on my way to reaching my goal of graduating with the honor of Summa Cum Laude. At the end of this semester I also entered some of my work into a Media Festival. There were many on the judging panel that included Deans, Professors, News Directors, and TV Broadcasters and Journalists. I was thrilled to receive 1st place for News Reporting out of several entries in the contest. I also received 3rd place on a music video that I filmed and edited. At the end of the school year I was also asked by my public speaking professor to speak at a local high school on the dangers of using cell phones which driving. As Vice President of the WNEC dance team, at the end of the year I was proud to be involved with putting together our annual show. This year our show was to benefit the Lung Association in memory of Coach Pearson that passed away recently at my school.
This summer I plan to focus on competing in Miss Connecticut at the end of June, which I am very excited for. I am spending much of my time at the gym and I am also beginning to work. I plan on continuing my summer job as a paraprofessional for the Special Education summer school program in Bristol, and I also waitress at a diner. I am going to be volunteering at LARC (Litchfield County Association for Retarded Citizens) and I am also going to be teaching disability awareness lessons in Elementary schools around Litchfield County. I am looking forward to having beautiful sunshine.
