Dropping Some Love on Ethan and Alex :)

Last month the Love Drop Team raised over $2,500 and boxes after boxes of goods and items to help Jill and her family get through a hard time in their lives (homelessness & financial worries). We did this in 1 month. All 400+ people came together and gave a few bucks each to impact one family's life. If you participated in this, THANK YOU. The final presentation can be seen here. (It's pretty cool!)

This month we start all over again and circle around 2 beautiful kids with severe autism -- Ethan & Alex. Our goal is to raise $13,000 so we can get them a highly trained service dog. And if possible, two iPads so they can speak again (they can't even say "I love you" to their mom -- these iPads allow them to get their voice back).

Here are 3 ways you can help:

1. Join the team - This is the best way to help out, and all it takes is $1.00.
2. Join our blogger network - Blog about our Love Drops each month like I am :) It's easy, it's rewarding, and it REALLY helps spread the word (which in turn helps our families). Love Drop will give you all the content you need.
3. Give a gift or provide a service - Gift cards (iTunes would be great!), two iPads (so we can help the boys speak again!), and anything else you think could help out.

Thank you guys so much -- You rock.

Stay on Track and Never Fallback :)

 

I am now going into my second week of school. The first week was pretty basic [the professors just explained what we were going to do] and I have 2 online classes with the same professor[same stuff different books] and 3 on campus classes[all on Tuesday and Thursday] that are going to be smooth sailing, hopefully.

I actually have all the books I need for my classes, so I am able to do all of my homework on time. My plan for the semester[which is the same for every semester] is to pass all of my classes. My plan for the week is to get all of my homework done[way before] before the deadline and to stay focus in class.

I also what to get more involved in my school[join stuff] and meet lots of people instead of hiding out in the library [like right now]. I am already apart of two organizations but one of them I'm not sure if I want to stay with it. I was thinking about joining ASI or at least volunteering at some events. Tomorrow there will be some clubs tabling so I will go check them out.

Anyways, the whole point of this post was to write about how I'm going to stay focus on school and don't let anything or anyone get in the way of that.

I guess I didn't stay focus [got to work on that] oh well :)
