Profile Information
- Why I'm choosing to give:
- I listened to the audio book and I often find myself being angry and bitter like Cami used to be. Also, I was very sick with West Nile Virus when I was 12 or 13 and ever since then I have suffered severely from fatigue. After listening to the book (I must admit I was skeptical until I finished the whole thing), and Cami was explaining how much more energy and happiness she has from giving, I feel that I could benefit in the same way. I do suffer from self-pity and anger towards people who have hurt me. I am excited to see how this change in my thinking and focus changes my life.
- What I'd most like to receive:
- As I said earlier, I would like to recieve a new outlook on life. I would love to be less tired, bitter and angry. I would also like to develop more self-esteem and have more energy and motivation to workout so I can lose the extra weight I have packed on.
If we are talking materially- CA$H!!!! to help with my financial situation. I am the classic broke college student and can always use money to help pay for textbooks/rent/food/personal expenses.
- How did you hear about the 29-Day Giving Challenge?
- My mom handed me the audio book that she had checked out from the library and listened to. She said, "You need to listen to this." I wasn't very thrilled, but SO thankful I followed through!
- About me:
- What makes me me? I am a young woman, currently single, artist, West-Nile survivor, golfer, Christian, drummer, napper, movie-watcher, hookah-smoker, tea-drinker. I am a college student, studying Social Work, which I LOVE. I also love dogs-they are my favorite things in the world. My family recently lost our yellow labrador in February and our miniature dachshund this last week (July). :( However, we have an energetic, happy, life-loving Corgi puppy named Jack! :) He is awesome!
I plan on getting my Master's degree after I graduate, and my long term goal is to open my own canine-assisted therapy. Being through what I have, and studying Social Work, I am finding more and more that NO ONE is perfect and that we all slip and fall daily. I believe that if we would all tell our secrets, we would find that we all go through the same/similar things. Secrets are overrated. Anyone can tell me ANYTHING and I still think of them as a person who has dignity and worth. I wish we could/would all share our stories. I strongly believe this is why I am SO close with certain people...because we share our deepest secrets, regrets, and dreams.

OMG-DAY 29!!!!

Today was my last day with Allie. :( She leaves tomorrow morning for Washington.
However, I did get to spend some quality time with her over my lunch hour, even though we had other people with us. We decided we would eat at the Gannett Grill because it has become "our place" this summer. I told Allie I would meet her and her friend there at noon. She texted me a few minutes before and said that she was bringing our old friend, Ben, to eat with us! Ben was someone we graduated with,…

Today, I agreed to go on a LONG hike with Allie, her visiting friend, and her parents.
I knew that I was going to have a really hard time on this hike, because I am really out of shape, but I only had 2 days left with Allie. So I went along anyway.
Sure enough, I almost died (or felt like I was going to), but it still was nice to be with Allie. We hiked up to the this place referred to as “The Falls”, which is a waterfall coming down the mountains off a flat rock that…

Today, allie asked me to go with her to Jackson with her. She had to go in order to pick up her friend who was flying in from Washington.
Allie was excited for this friend to come to Wyoming to spend the weekend, but this friend had also done some really selfish things lately at Allie’s expense. So, she wasn’t completely thrilled to be making the trip just with this friend.
“It’s totally up to you, but it would seriously be like 100 times better if you came with me,” Allie…

One of my best childhood Wyoming memories is from going to the carnival in the summers. I felt like I had a very good childhood and got to do a lot of things that are only appreciated by a child, but sometimes I feel that my little brother and sister are robbed of that. Not that it's my parent's fault or anything, but just the way life is here in America. Sometimes the fast pace of life and…
