Welcome to the Blog!
I would like to start off my first post by welcoming you all to the blog! I will be updating this for an Honors English II class. I hope you find my posts either interesting or just self indulgent enough to want to stew over how terrible a person I am! Either way it will be nice to have some readers!
As this is my first post, I would like to tell you a bit about myself. I am hoping that I can either go into the engineering field or the medical field, however, right now, I am leaning more towards engineering. I have always loved electronics and the sciences, and I absolutely adore finding ways that I can apply these fields to improve something.
I currently am enrolled in two after school activities. One is Operation Others (O.O.), which I hope to find a leadership role in within the next year. This program collects and boxes food to send out to families in my community who can't afford to have a holiday meal. This year we fed around 1,000 families! The picture to the right shows a section of the warehouse we fill up with boxes in one weekend. On the third day of the delivery week, we give all the food to families in our area with the help of caring volunteers.
The second activity is trap shooting. I have always loved guns, and although I am in favor of gun control, I feel that it is one of the best feelings in the world when you hit a clay pigeon and see the orange dust shower down onto the field. Currently, my record for number of hits is 40 out of 50. Hopefully, by the end of the year, I will be consistently shooting above 40 targets out of 50.
If you know me at all you know that I love dogs, and my dog Millie is no exception (no matter how dirty she gets). Even though I think she causes some of my minor allergies, I could never bring myself to not pet a dog when I get the chance. Recently, I have noticed that most of the pictures on my iPhone are of her. This picture was taken as I was cleaning my car one sunny day. I realized that she was dozing off in the grass beside the driveway and I couldn't help myself from taking her portrait.
I hope that you have enjoyed my first blog post! I look forward to presenting you with some true material in the future.

In the final photo it looks like Millie was posing for you. We both have very scientific minds, I'm thinking of going into very similar fields. And I'm sure if you make your desire to be a leader in O.O. clear, you'll get it for sure.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like we are very similar people, I may read your blogs in the future.
