Story of Community:
Over a year and a half ago two kids from my highschool died in a car crash. They were ages 19 & 20 - to young to lose their lives. Starting at the scene of the accident our community came together to help and support the family and friends of the victims. It started with the police, fire department and rescue squad who rushed to the scene to try to help these victims. Also, many family & friends along with random people from the community went to the wake and funeral to show that even though they may not have known them personally the community as a whole was grieving.
Education Story:
I went abroad my Junior Year Spring Semester and had an amazing internship opportunity. However, I was too homesick and returned home. Even though I thought I had written down all the pros and cons, I was not thinking clearly. From this situation, I learned that no matter how upset or homesick I am I need to take a step back and review the situation a couple of times before jumping on that flight home. Even though my decision would probably have been the same I feel this was a huge learning experience for me even though I was there for two weeks.
