I thought last class was one of the best ones so far because of the subject. Networking is probably the most important tool in society because one cannot get where he/she wants all by himself/herself. I am looking forward to class tonight since it is on balance.
I work close to 35 hours a week on top of being a full time student. I am still trying to balance this whole mess out. I have done both of these separately but never at the same time. Hoping to learn some awesome tips tonight. I am happy I was able to get to mentor a group that made things not a stressful with my schedule.
This Sunday I went with Ashely Hook to the local Girl Scout troop meeting for our project. It was an awesome experience, and I am looking forward to working with this group. I learned many things about the middle school generation and how media affects them. Things sure have changed since I was in middle school ten years ago. I am excited to see what else I will learn from this group. :)

I have never really been much of a blogger because things online stay permanent, and I have a tendency of ranting when I write freely. Some things are better kept privately in a journal. Anyways I really enjoyed all the speakers we had last class.
The one who stuck out the most is Melissa Gilbert because of her passion for helping others. Before I decided to major in creative writing I wanted to be a social worker so I could work with kids who did not have the best opportunities in life. My last year in high school I got involved with a local group who helped kids coming from abusive situations. Hearing Melissa talk about all the different groups that we could work with, and the small exercise we did just brought me back to that last year.
Unfortunately, I have a crazy schedule so my options are limited to which group I can work with. I would love to get involved more as I continue here at Otterbein. I think this semester our class could really make an impact on at least one girl's life with what we have to teach from our own experiences.
