For the past couple weeks I've had the best time of my life. It was at the weirdest thing, I thought I would be dreading going to school everyday and stressing out about my exams and quizzes and what grade I got. Well that was not the case, I have made friends that I know I'll keep for the rest of my life and those people that I have met, got me through these amazing 5 weeks.

I have also learned a ton in my Sociology class and my teacher was great. I also have to give a shout out to my study group teacher Aryka, because she has been through it all with us, guiding us through our class in ways we can understand. Back to the class, my teacher Dr. Rajaram was so funny and was very wise and a great teacher, and always being their to help. So for the next, and future Summer Scholars you should keep Sociology its fun and it teaches you about different types of people and not to pre judge.

Summer Scholars is the best thing ever!!! I hope it continues for the longest time and I really don't know what I would have done this summer without it, also it will help me in the long run with my new connections to people and how to apply myself in a college setting. So thank you for all of you that made this possible!!!!!

I HAD A BLAST!!!

This week on Monday June 30 I had my first job shadowing experience. For my career choice I would like to be a clinical pshchologist, just like my mother. What I thought would happen was that I would go to a small office and see that kind of reports that psychologist do, but that was not the case. Where I ended up going was straigh across the Milo Bail Student Center to Allwine Hall which to me was a little weird. Once I got to the fifth floor I recongized that I'm going into a science room.

When I got in there I met a guy named Adam who talked to me while the guy I was going to shadow showed up. So Adam and I talked a little about what I wanted to do and through that I found out that he studied to be a clinical psychologist too, also Adam told me the ins and outs of college. But the weird thing about it still is that I was in a science lab, well it turns out the instead of Adam being a clincal psychologist, he became psycobiologist, where they study the behavior of monkeys, birds, and rats and their hormones.

That is sort of interesting but that really wasn't what I wanted to do at all. The next thing that happend was that the guy I was supposed to shadow showed up finally and his name was Drew and he was pretty cool. Drew then took me around the labs and showed me the cutest, tiniest monkeys ever and i got to feed them Cherrios.

My experience was fun and interesting and I got to learn something that I never knew existed, but at the same time I didn't care for it that much, because I would like to study and dignose human patients and not anmial patients.
