Here We Go!!

Hello everyone!! I've finally been given the approval to start blogging for all of you again, and I must say it's been entirely too long. So let's make this year a great one!

I am still in disbelief that this is my SENIOR YEAR!! If you think that high school has gone by fast, then wait until you get to college and it's like BAM in your face faster. So, since not much has happened just yet at the 'Hurst I'll give you the lowdown on how my summer went.

In early June I started my internship with the Veteran Affairs Medical Center at a Behavioral Health Clinic in my hometown of Ashtabula, Ohio. Everyday I went to work to shadow my supervisor, Karen Woodard, from 8am-4:30pm. I have learned so much in just a small period of time from Karen and the rest of the Behavioral Health staff. It definitely reassured me that I want to go on in my education and that I am in this world to help the Veteran community.


The highlight of my summer was going to see Katy Perry in Cleveland!! I can't even begin to tell you how AMAZING it was to see her!

Here is what I call "the excited faces" picture of me and my sister. Also this is the best picture I could get of Katy because she was literally 100 feet away from us while she sang Thinking of You!

I also got to see a lot of my family this summer that came up from South Florida. Unfortunately my grandma passed away at the end of July so that was really hard for all of us to get through. And now that I don't have any more grandparents it's hard to not have anyone there to talk to you when you want some words of wisdom. But then again everyone dies eventually and I know they had their time.

I'm very happy to be back at school and kick off the year right since this is my last and final year at Mercyhurst. Once some events start happening I will keep everyone up to date!!
