A Month in Recap

          This first month of school has definitely flown by. I feel like just yesterday was the first day of the semester. I guess that is what happens when life just gets so busy. School is going well . I think I have fallen in love with my major all over again. I love all my classes except math ( but who likes math anyways).
         It’s been nice to take on more of a leadership role when it comes to academics. I am a Mentor for the Advertising and Public Relations Society and also for the National Broadcasting Society at our school. It is great to know that I get to help younger students grow in their majors and find their places at school. I also am enjoying still working with broadcasting doing Sports and Marketing team for KWTS radio.
    I did my first sports broadcast for volleyball and have since moved on to soccer. I love announcing games, it is a lot of fun. In Ad/Pr I got to tell students about my awesome internships this summer and help them network so they can become more involved. Needless to say, school is going well.
    My internship with the Amarillo Bulls has definitely gotten more busy. As we get closer to hockey season, the promotions are starting to pick up as well as the advertising. I finished designing some of the ads for the program and got to know photoshop more, so I was happy about that. We had our first exhibition game that we worked and it was awesome to get to see the players on the ice finally. Our season opener is in a week and the first elimination will be made so competition is high.
        The WT soccer team is going well. I love being able to do what I love all the time. After last year being hurt, I have come to really appreciate what God has given me no matter if it being used on the field or to motivate my teammates. We are 5-3 overall and 2-2 in conference and we are just coming off a big win against Midwestern State. Today we play ACU And they are probably our biggest rivals.    
           Lastly, I am glad to have found a rhythm in this semester. I have become involved in FCA ( Fellowship of Christian Athletes) which has helped me balance a lot of things out. A lot of their talks focus on exactly what I am dealing with and FCA has taught me forgiveness, trusting in God, Glorifying God in everything that I do , and that no matter what roll I am on and off the field, God still loves and trusts.
          Only a month in to the semester and I am excited for what is to come. I have been able to grow in my friendships with people and grow as a person and I am thankful for everyone in my life. Only 2 and half months left of the semester. That is so weird. I know it’s cliche but it’s all happening way too fast.
