Just a Little Introduction

My first blog post! I guess I should be giving all my readers a bit of background information about me and where I am coming from. As of June 1, 2013, I became an alumni of my high school. The fact that I graduated high school is still unreal to me. I feel like it was just the other day that I was walking the halls for the very first time. I had no idea what the next four years would entail me making the honor roll, playing three varsity sports falling in love and getting my heart broken. They were the best 4 years of my life… so far!
Until I started college at the University of South Florida, I had no idea what my future would hold for me. As I ventured out and explored the many different options the university had to offer me, I began to grow and change in many ways I didn't know were possible. Friends faded and all the drama and things from high school just seemed to vanish. Coming from a small hometown, I knew who I was but not who I was going to become.
Growing up, I was always an active child, involved in dance, gymnastics and piano. As I grew older I ventured out and tried some new sports like tennis, weightlifting and yes, cheerleading. After multiple injuries and one very hard major, I decided my body had enough and I chose a different route to be involved in school in another way other than sports. So, I joined a sorority that I am now "anchored" to for life! Little did I know that this was the best decision I could have ever made.
As a new member of Delta Gamma, we are taught the values and beliefs that DG was founded on. The other girls and I share the same things. Not only are we anchored to our beliefs and values but we are anchored to the lives we live every day, which is where the name for this blog came from. Also, being raised by a father in the military has aided in this as well. The anchor stands for a symbol of hope and as I continue to grow and prosper, this symbol will forever be engrained in my mind as MY symbol. So, for all my friends and family who will read my blog, this is just a short introduction to what happens in my crazy life and I hope this will help you keep up with the crazy life I'm anchored to.
