Senior Projects

Hey Everyone! Sabrina and I (Rachel) are seniors this year and along with that comes the wonderful responsibility of a senior project. Becca, a junior, has a jump start on her project and is actually using this entire trip as that project. But this year Sabrina and I would like to do a similar project specifically for the orphans we will be with in Ghana. We are gathering supplies, toys and needed necessities of all kinds to bring to these children in need. To put it bluntly: they have practically nothing. We are gathering toys (ones that would be fun outside), paper, coloring books, colored pencils, pencils and erasers, pens, tooth brushes, tooth paste and all other hygiene items. We are also going to have T-shirts made with our logo and names to bring to the children to decorate with them while we are there. We are looking for donations from all who are willing! Please if you have anything or are willing to donate money to buy these items, we would appreciate it tremendously! Thank you all for your time helping us with this project and donations.

Tuesdays With Morrie

Today in one of my classes at school we watched part of the movie "Tuesdays With Morrie". I really loved watching it and it really made think about my life. Its a true story about a man named Morrie who has a terminal illness and throughout the story he gives lessons on death, love, and most importantly.... Living. He talks a lot about living each day to its fullest. We were only able to watch about half of it, but he said a few things that really stuck out to me, and even though they talk about death.... I really think they can be applied to anyones life. He said:

"Dying is one thing to be sad about, Living unhappily is another matter."

It really made me stop and think..... Am I truly living my life to the very fullest? Am I happy with the things I have done and the way I treat others?

Another one I really liked was:

"The fear of aging, is lives that havent found meaning."

Have I found meaning in my life? What kind of person do I want to be?

And the last one that I really liked was:

"When you know how to die, you know how to live."

I want to live each day like its my last one and to never regret who I am or the things I have done. I want to live my life to the very fullest!

I really loved watching "Tuesdays with Morrie" and I Highly recommend it!! :)
