My Trip to Kentucky.... Day 1&2

Sometime over the summer the Deaf Sunday School at my church found out about Deaf Day at the Creation Museum and Ark Encounter in Kentucky. It was a day for Deaf from all over to come to the Museum when they knew it would be completely filled with other Deaf and there would be Interpreters around every corner to help. We were all very excited about the trip and plans were made. There were 23 of us altogether including:

• 4 Deaf,
• 1Hard of Hearing,
• 1 Interpreter,
• 1 future Interpreter (me!) 
•  3 CODA’s (Child Of a Deaf Adult) (one of which was the interpreter)
• 2 other people who know ASL
• 4 people who are learning or simi-fluent in ASL
• 8 people who know 30 signs or fewer

 I wish I had kept a log every night of what had happened that day; I did not, however I took a lot of pictures to show you all and I am writing from memory, Yay Me!

Having a Job...And Quitting

Hey everyone! This week we had a friend of ours write a post on having and quitting job. Her name is Kira, you might remember her from our hiking post from last year. She went to Freshman Advantage (the summer program here at WWU) with Megan, Aly, and I. She is a sophomore in the Honor's Program who is majoring in Biology/Pre-Vet.

College in Disney Songs

 Love God, Love People, Love Disney,

And today I am going to touch on my love for Disney.

Here at William Woods it is midterms week, by the time this has been posted we will have finished all our midterms and I’m sure everyone will need something fun to lift their mood. So today I am going to describe college with Disney songs. However, this is going to be quiz style, I’m going to use lyrics and other references in the post and at the end will be the list of songs in order. Don’t worry, if you try you will get 100% on your test! Why? Because I am giving you the answers lol!

WWU Hunter/Jumper Derby

     Last weekend, William Woods hosted the Fall Hunter/Jumper Derby. The hunter/jumper show team runs the competition, which consists of classes anywhere from ground poles to 2’ hunters to 3’ jumpers. This was my first time showing as a Jumper, and it was a very awesome experience!

Glow Party

Hello friends,

The first week of school I went to a glow party, which to most people doesn’t sound like a big thing but to me this was a big thing. This was my first party EVER. In high school I never went to a party because I didn’t have a lot of friend and the ones that I did have didn’t go to the parties.

My First Thoughts on Being a CA

Hey Guys!! I’m here to tell you about my journey being a Community Advisor at school. Last semester I applied to become a community advisor, I wasn’t sure that I would get it but I was very hopeful that I would get notification to be a community advisor for the next semester and so on here at the woods.

WWU Summer Riding Camp - A Stablehand's Perspective

Over the summer, just like most college students, I got a job.  I had the opportunity to work with the horses at William Woods.  It ended up being a pretty rough summer, but that’s a different story.  The barn on-campus functions a lot differently over the summer than during the semester because all the students are gone.  For the summer, a lot of the horses leave campus.  They either go out to pasture or get leased out to a summer home.

The Scoop on WWU Orientation

A College Sized Faith: Quiet Time

Every year, the week after Mother’s Day, my church back home has Graduate Sunday. This is the week all the High School graduates go up on stage to be acknowledged before going to college. Then, the sermon is focused on them and becoming a Christian adult. And every year a few things are said, ‘So many lose their faith in college, strive to be among the few who don’t’ ‘Make sure you find a good church to get involved with’ ‘Make good Christian friends’ AND, ‘Don’t forget about your quiet time, because if you aren’t talking to God *insert something bad here.*’ The problem with all of this is no one ever tells you HOW, they only say it needs to be done. Then when you move to college and become overwhelmed by all the changes these things become the first to fall to the wayside. Today I am going to give you 5 tips to help you have and keep your quiet time in college.
