Hello everyone!

I am doing much better than my last entry. Thank you all for your comments. I finished my freshmen year. Friday was my last day. I spent the week before last going to awards ceremonies. I got 4 awards and I was installed into the National Council of Negro Women! I was inducted into Phi Eta Sigma, the National Freshmen Honor Society, for maintaining a G.P.A of 3.0 or above, I received an outstanding service award for helping the Ceenter for Personal Development set up their workshops, I received another community service award for volunteering as a mentor for youth at risk and tutoring the children with learning disabilities, AND my last reward was for being on the Chancellor's list which means I have a G.P.A of 3.75 or above. I just checked my grades and I made all As in all of my classes AGAIN which means I STILL have a perfect 4.0! I have an interview tomorrow for a summer internship with Teen Court and I might start volunteering at the Battered Women's and Children's Shelter with my next door neighbor. I am vvery excited for this summer because I have my very first jury duty, I was selected to attend a conference with the Honors Program in July, and me and my dad are going to go on a "my birthday/Father's Day" vacation to see my favorite singer perform at the beach! Did I mention I met my favorite singer because she came to perform at my school for our annual ball? She gave me a hug when she sat on the stage! It was the best day of my life. I don't have any pictures of me with her but I am going to upload pictures of myself at the ball. I actualy cried when I had to leave school. I thought about how much fun I had, how much I accomplished, and how beyond nice everyone was to me. I can't wait until next semester!

Katrina,

The very best thing you will give to the children with disabilities with whom you will work is that they can accomplish great things. A better role model and truer inspiration they could not have WHAT A GIFT! The awards you earned through your hard work despite your challenges make them that much more admirable and awesome. :Clap-Hands:

 

We are all sooo very proud of you. You are truly an inspiration to all of us
