Howdy!
Hey there! Welcome to my blog. I am running off to church shortly, but I wanted to pop on and say hello and tell you a bit about myself.
I'm a sophomore Religion major from Woodbury, New Jersey. I am actually a Woodbury fanatic, and have done work at our historical society since I was 13. At the time, I was the youngest member in the hundred-year history of the society. I still hold the record for being the youngest member.
Here at Bryn Athyn, I participate in many things, from clubs in the college to events in the community, and love being active in planning and running events. After church today, actually, we are heading to Kempton PA for a bit to partake in their autumn celebration. I'm pretty excited. In the past I have organized trips to Six Flags Great Adventure, camping, rafting, and to the opera, to name a few. (The opera was a miserable failure - I'll have to tell you about that another time. But people claim to have had fun and wouldn’t trade that day's experience for another. I still think they're trying to make me feel better)
Just recently, I gave a speech at the Charter Day Banquet. It was truly an honor to be up there where loads of more learned and respected people had once stood and spoke. My speech, they say, was a great success - even having one tell me that it was possibly the most important Charter Day speech he's ever heard.
For those of you who don't know what Charter Day is, it is essentially Bryn Athyn's homecoming. It is the time when we celebrate the granting of the school's Charter - the declaration which 130 years ago gave the school the power to grant degrees.
If you are interested at all in my speech, which some say was so moving it made them tear (wow, right?) it will be posted somewhere on the internet sometime soon. Keep an eye out, as I will post the link on here.
Okay! Well, I must go. Have a good day!
