Right now, I am sitting in class, writing a blog. This truly is the 21st century. The next blog I post is hopefully going to be from my mobile, I'm going to try and see how that works out.






I forgot to put in my previous post a few things. I guess I should elaborate on the fact that I have an interesting vocabulary. If i say baller, word, or legit to you, don't be offended. That is just one of the things that I do. I also forgot to mention some of my best friends and family.



Best friends: Delyna! Allison! Kaelan! Trevor! Sheilah! Danielle! Cory! :)


Family: Mom, Dad, Jeremy. :)



I also failed to mention that I am drum major of my band! It in so empowering to be on the podium in front of the band. It is such a great feeling to know that i am the leader of a great group of fellow students. Also, I hope to go to college in two years at the University of Georgia. GO DAWGS! I am not completely aware of what I want to pursue, but i know that I will figure that out in time.





Just one more thing..



I guess i should have talked about this in my first post, but...EH.



This past summer was the best summer ever. I met so many great people and had so many great once in a lifetime experiences. The first seminar I attended was HOBY, the second UGA drum major camp, and the third RYLA.



HOBY! -(Hugh O'Brain Youth Leadership) This seminar was held the first weekend of June at Georgia Southwestern University in Americus, Georgia. I arrived at 7A. M. sharp to roughly 20 teenagers banging on my car welcoming me to HOBY. I had a feeling that this weekend was going to be fun, but i had no idea how OUTSTANDING it would be. I learned so much about myself through seminars, and what i can do to be a change in the world. "be the change you want to see in the world" Gandhi. I learned that i am an eagle personality type, meaning that i am direct and do not really care about feelings. I also learned that I love meeting and talking to different kinds of people. Facebook has allowed me to stay in touch with all these amazing people across the state, and each of them had their own story. I am so glad that I was able to represent Liberty County High School at this conference. It was the most OUTSTANDING experience of my life. Even if we did ride that pony and make fun of crutches. I miss all my team mates(triple M best friend especially), the O.G.R.E.S. (our team really equals success) and a couple of other people i got close to throughout the weekend. It was definitely one of the highlights of my summer.



UGA drum major camp - WHOA! These five days were some of the best of the summer. I learned so much about being a better conductor and how to be a better leader. Along with classes, I was able to talk to and meet other drum majors from across the state. All of them are such amazing people. I still talk to two of them almost daily. Both are from Fulton county though, so I cannot see them as much as I would like, but Danielle and Trevor are the greatest people ever. All of the drum majors learned so much, and for our final performance we did a flash mob to the "glee" version of Don't Stop Believin! We also rode roller coasters, had dance parties in Brumby, and fist pumped to Ke$ha's "your love is my drug". The whole week was awesome, especially because Jeremy got to spy on me all week because he is the drum major of the redcoats. GO DAWGS! Everyone knows the band makes the football games. :)





...alright...the bell is about to ring...ill complete this later. :)




RYLA - (Rotary Youth Leadership Awards) This conference also was life changing. I learned so much about how to be successful in life and anything i try. I met so many people from across south Georgia, many that are teens that are trying to make differences in their schools and communities. We had many classes about business leadership, how to run meetings, cultural awareness, and communication. Along with these classes, we did many social activites, like scavenger hunts, capture the flag, and pizza parties. We would stay up all night talking, listening to music, and getting to know each other. On almost a daily basis i continue to talk to kids that i met at this seminar this summer. It was a great experience.





After these three "camps" I went to, I had the oppritunity to come home for two weeks and relax. Those two weeks were amazing and i got to spend them with my friends. :) AFter those two weeks were over, band began, and then school.



Which brings me to this blog...sorry it is so long, but i wanted to get some ideas out about how OUTSTANDING my summer was. These are just some basic ideas...if you are curious, just ask me!
