Life at Madonna ...

So far life is alright at madonna. It has gotten better and could be worse. I've met lots of new people which i love doing. My teachers are alright. My favorite in particular is Edna my univ. 1010 teacher. My classes are going alright i've been getting B's so hopefully i can keep it up. I've always pondered on why my friends change when they go to college but now i know. Maturity sorta kicks you in the *** when you go to college.

Service Learning: The Aftermath

Last weekend i went to service learning a the gleaners food donation. There i put caned goods in boxes to get ready to be shipped to the less fortunate . I am not gonna lie i was dreading waking up at seven in the morning to go but suprisingly it wasn't that bad. I felt like i was a good citizen afterwards.

JUST ME & MY SIS


In the picture is my sister and I. Don't mind the dark circles and the grocery bags under my eyes. I figured i would post about this! My sister lives in Florida and i'm going to visit her over Christmas break. I can't wait to see my nephew and niece! I haven't seen them in almost a year! :-(. While everyone is freezing their tails off in the winter ill be basking in the nice warm sun getting my tan on. I've never been to Florida so it will be quite the experience! Just thought i would share!

Service Learning

November 10 ,2007 i will be attending the Gleaners food bank. I choose this service learning because it hits pretty close to home. At one point in my life i was literally a dollar away from being homeless. My house along with a lot of other Michigan citizens got put up on foreclosure. The bank was about to take my house and everything in it. We couldn't afford our house non the less food. I worked 20 hour a week and also was going to school. I used the money i was making to buy food and help pay for my family's living expenses. Currently we still have our house because the bank gave us a little extra time to get our act together. I think Gleaners is a great program that i can relate with. My home often got gifts from charities such as lunch meat, corn and other valuable food items. I just thank got everyday for what he has given me and for all the charities that have donated to my family.
