La Historia de Mi Vida

These past few weeks have been a blur, though they were a great way to finish off the end to my summer vacation. I went to a camp one week and then to South Dakota the following week. The camp I went to was so much fun! I had a blast! Believe it or not it was the first time I had ever been away from my family for that long. Though I missed them dearly, I enjoyed every minute spent at camp! It was a leadership camp for inspired Student Council members. Sounds kinda nerdy, ya I know. However the knowledge I have gained from there is amazing! I made so many new friends and met so many inspiring people. Everyone there had so many talents and brought great leadership values to their council's! As soon as I returned I was overwhelmed by how much I missed my Council, as well as the amount of time I was given to do all of my laundry before having to leave again for another week. South Dakota was a lot of fun! My family is very outdoorsy, therefore, while we were in SD we went camping. The Black Hills were absolutely gorgeous! We went on many hikes and climbed various mountains. It was great to spend so much time with my family after being away for a week. As soon as we set up our campground I put up my hammock. There was a creek close to where we were so I set it up next to there. It was the perfect spot for reading! The driving part was not so pleasant since I have a really hard time sitting for long periods of time. I would much rather be playing! I still had a great time and would do it all over again if I could!!

One cannot simply go to South Dakota without seeing Mt. Rushmore! 

The Black Hills were beautiful!! I loved our week there!

The view from the top of the mountain we hiked. You could see for miles!

Now that I am back home I have been running of course, as well as figuring out my future. It's crazy to believe that I am going into my last year of High School. Where has all the time gone?? Lately I have been applying to colleges and looking for scholarships. It's all very time consuming I must say. The good thing is I know that I want to be a Pediatrician. Therefore I would like to major in Biology. The draw back...I have no idea where I want to go to school. Each school is different in its own way and I just need to find the one that's right for me.  I know that God will lead me to the best one, but it's still hard to make decisions! Every senior goes through this same process. Although it's long, I know that where ever I choose will be worth it in the long run!

I believe every teenager must experience the sensation of being home alone. When ever this opportunity arrives I have a grand time! Today just so happened to be one of those days. When no one is around I love to play the piano (I tend to bore my family by playing the same song over and over but how else am I supposed to practice?) or violin or turn my music up really loud and make up random choreography to each song (One can do great leap passes down long hall ways). I probably look hilarious when caught in this act....but it's so much fun. Today I was practicing the violin and was wishing that I had a piano accompaniment to the song. Clever as I am, I realized I could record myself playing the piano on my phone. I then hooked up my phone to the speaker. And Bam! There I had my piano accompaniment! IT WAS SO COOL!!! I was absolutely thrilled with this idea! I understand someone probably already thought of this idea. However for the time being please allow me to be impressed with myself.

So here is the story of my life as it stands!
Love, Megan
