I am a Master!

A Master of Public Health that is! I am proud to announce that I have completed my degree with a 3.7 GPA. It was hard work but I've had a great time pursuing this degree! Plans for the fall are research, an internship, and I have just signed up to be a mentor. I hope that I am wise enough to help guide a young mind. I'm excited to share some of the wisdom that I have gained over the years. Plans are still coming along for Honduras, March 2011. Yo necesito practicar espanol!!

Time Flies!!

Time sure flies!!! The summer semester is over and all that stands between my and my MPH is a credentialing exam. I am scheduled to take it on Aug 28! I'm getting a bit nervous. As most know, I am a huge procrasinator and haven't really taken the time to properly prepare. The next couple of weeks will be critical and I will be super busy reviewing everything I've learned over the past few years.
On a good note, plans for Honduras are coming along smoothly. I am scheduled to spend the month of March doing public health training there. As soon as I finish my exam it's time to brush up on spanish!! I can't wait.

The semester is over!!

Plans are coming along for me to travel to Honduras and work in a hospital doing Public Health Training. I am super excited. This semester has finally come to an end. Mom was right....the older you get the faster time flies!! Only 1 more semester to go and I can't wait to be finished.

Been a While!

I had a great, life changing time in Zimbabwe. The past few months have been spent working on my MPH. Once that is completed (August 2010 hopefully!) I would love to travel back to the beautiful country of Honduras and work in a children's home that I was blessed to visit in 2005. Plans are in the works and I hope to have good news to share.
It's amazing what you can see when you really open your eyes. My wonderful neighbor had established a non-profit while I was in Africa. Braids n beads....a non-profit that travels to low income apartment complexes and braids young girls hair for free all while teaching self-esteem. Amazing isn't it. Please check out her website. braidsnbeads.com
Find your passion and become involved! We all have a life that's worth living so get out there and live!!
