Residential Life

When I first got to Scoot hall I was little scared because I have visited UNL dorm and the room had bunks bed. And I was afraid that I was going to share a room with a complete stranger. The only time I’ve shared a room is my sister and we don’t even get along. And I have seen those reality TV show, some people can get really rough.

Even though I was scared, I wasn’t discouraged. I walked in that hallway with my head held up high. I was a little intimidated by those kids a t first because the sort of conversation they were having were so out of my comfort zone so I was afraid I wasn’t going to fit in.

In all the activity we did during that one week, well, going to the camp was my favorite. If it wasn’t for it I don’t think I would make the connection I made after that one week. The stuff we did in the camp had to do with trusting, and helping you team move forward. Trusting is something I don’t do often not even to my close friend. So for me to trust people I have never met in my life, was pretty impressive and I was so proud of myself for that.

Even though I didn’t do all the challenges at the camp, I was still impressed with myself for at least making an effort. Overall, my stay at Scoot Hall was fun and adventurous but there’s one thing I will never forget about it and that's the FOOD. Those were some really good food.

Thumbs UP Chef… ;=)

My Role Model

Throughout my life I’ve had many people who have guide me, help me get up when I fall but mostly encourage me when I feel like giving up. And there’s no one in the world that can do it better than my auntie Kathy does.

My Auntie has the most influence in my life. She is nice, respectful and she never gives up on people. Doesn’t really matter if you are family or not. I have always admire the way my Auntie has a way of living her life. She has never care about what others had to say about her but she never let other bash out her family either and I like that about her very much.

My Auntie is a woman in her thirties but believe it not she doesn’t look like it. My Aunt was married to my godfather but he left her for another woman but she never complained about it. In fact they are still friends. Since he left I have never talk to him because I think I have a hate for him for leaving my amazing aunt for someone else. My aunt is a really happy person except when it comes to kids because she had “abdominal hernia” which causes her to not have kids. When ask her why she can’t just adopt. She always says that she as always dream of having a kid from her own blood.

As a kid I watch my aunt stand up to people she wasn’t supposed to but she did anyway because it was the right thing to do. She had a way of bringing people to her side because she wasn’t afraid to speak her mind. She has a theory that giving other people happiness is more important then her own happiness. And to me that pretty courageous because I could never put people before myself.

Even though my Auntie has been through a lot she hasn’t stop smiling. She has never once show any sign of defeat and sadness and to me that’s something I should try to invest in myself.

You’re the BEST Auntie and I LOVE you. Always will. :)
