Family Vacation to Arizona!
Dec. 31, 2013—After arriving home from AWB, I had about two days to settle in Alabama before I was en route to my next destination: Arizona.
AWBreak in St. Paul, MN!
Dec. 31, 2013—As I mentioned previously, I spent the first week of my winter break on a service trip to St. Paul, Minnesota. Just to recap, it was AWESOME.
Winter Break, AWB-Style
Dec. 31, 2013—I'm so happy that I chose to spend the first week of winter break in Huntsville, Alabama! The purpose of the Alternative Winter Break trip was to learn about and help the community of Lincoln Village.
AWB and candy canes for my first winter break
Dec. 26, 2013—Unlike many other students, I have been dreading winter break for quite some time. For most students Winter Break means spending time with family. For me it meant staying on campus for three cold weeks. That I couldn’t do, so I planned ahead of time and applied for Alternative Winter Break. That was one decision...
Inside Inside ‘Dores

Rocko’s Modern Life
Dec. 17, 2013—Now that I’m home for break, I decided that it is a prime opportunity to tell you about my family’s current guide dog-in-training, Rocko. The last time my family trained a guide dog through Guide Dogs of America, my sister and I were both in Nashville when they picked her up (AKA when she was...
