My Firespark! Story

(Note: This is the same note titled "Reactions and Reflections of a Shocked Survivor" that's on my FB page. However, there is a small addendum at the end of this version. First-years and Survivors alike, enjoy.) Well, where do I even begin? I suppose it all started in April 2006--I had gotten a brochure in the mail about some performing arts camp in Gainesville, GA, at a certain Brenau University. I had virtually nothing planned for my summer, save for a camp in San Francisco dealing with, as… Continue

Woah...I can do this?

I guess you could call this my first venture into the blogosphere, Facebook notes notwithstanding. Anyway, two weeks until Firespark!...and July 6th can't come fast enough. I can't wait for it...this program has seriously impacted me and the way I've lived this past year. The theme last year for FS was "break out of your box", and boy, I took that and ran with it.
