Boston Marathon Bombings

     On the tragic day of the bombings in Boston, we were all considered Bostonians. Three people were killed, and over a hundred were injured. I remember flipping through the channels looking for a game on ESPN and instead they were breaking the news that bombs had went off near the Boston marathon finish line. After hearing about this I immediately went to the internet to find out more and what I found was shocking. I remember coming across images of blood and gore on the sidewalks, civilians running around frantic, and EMTs rushing to help the injured. 

     

     A police officer on the scene recalls hearing a loud explosion and seeing bodies fly into the street. She saw children lying on the sidewalk lifeless, and other individuals without legs. The sight of all of the bodies were unbelievable. The Boston Marathon became an event of dread, as news of the attack spread through the crowd and people awaited word. 

   

THE "I AM NOT A GEEK" SHEET

• One thing that I do well is.................being creative! Procrastination is another one of my talents! (Don't Judge Me) 
•  My parents are thrilled about my progression in school. I've come farther than them both, and I would like to continue to put a smile on their faces by going even further. 
• My greatest accomplishment was being offered an internship for the Tate County Democrat my freshman year of college.
• The latest compliment that I received was about my height!! 
• I could go on forever about all of the nice things I do for others, but my most recent moment of caring for someone else was during class one day, I got up to help another student who dropped all of his stuff after tripping and falling. I didn't laugh. I know how embarrassing that can be. I can totally relate! 
• I love the way that I tend to over think things a lot. Yes, over thinking isn't always good, but I feel like I've made the best decisions in some of the most drastic and stressful moments of my life because of my consist thinking. Wisdom has played a really big part in my life. Not just my family, but friends and even strangers have given me advice and a heads up on what to expect during a certain part of life. I take it upon myself to learn from other people's problems, I mean....who wouldn't? I know for a fact that I have definitely dodged a few bullets by being a little nosy and learning from my surroundings. 
• I love how ambitious and driven I am for success. This isn't even the beginning for me. I hope to obtain my bachelor's, and start a career in the entertainment business one day.
