Girl Scouts
This last Sunday, the 25th of September, I went to my first session with the girls scouts troop!! Elizabeth and I talked to them about the media and how it impacts our lives. While discussing the different types of media, we covered body image, cyber bullying, and how to balance electronics. In the end, we made s'mores!!! The troop leader loves us and we love the girls. I am very excited to continue working with them over the next few weeks!

Importance of Health & Fitness
On Wednesday, September 14, 2011, my favorite speakers by far came to speak to us. I could literally feel the energy in the room. I wasn't sleepy nor did I yawn once. I like to see speakers who are just as excited to speak to us as we are to listen to them! I may be biased because many of the speakers that Wednesday were in my field of Allied Health, but I thoroughly enjoyed each of their presentations. In order to be a strong woman, the body needs to be in good health. Yes, many of us have very busy schedules which limit our availability for the gym, but come on guys! We live on a campus which gives us access to many fitness options. No, not all of us are runners or even like vegetables. However, if each and every one of us want to be strong women, we have to take one for the team at least twice a week. I am not the ideal role model when it comes to health but I love the feeling after a hard work out. Tonight my roommate and I went to Zumba. For those of you who do not know what Zumba is... you need to go to it! It is a great way to exercise but in a fun way! Zumba is every Monday night from 4:30-5:30 p.m.! Wear comfortable clothes and hope to see you there! Having a group of friends or supporters is the best way to get stuff done!

Powerful Women
On Wednesday, September 7th, 2011, we had four guest speakers come into our class. The first three were women of different occupations and the fourth was a man who came to speak of all the powerful women of Otterbein University. Each person had something significant to talk about. Each speaker gives inspiration to young women of Otterbein.
The first guest speaker of the night was our reference librarian, Judy Nevin. She informed us of several areas of the library. She reviewed steps on our E-Portfolios. Judy also even made us laugh once or twice. By taking our class into the library, she showed us that everyone there wants to help and not to be afraid to ask questions.
The second guest speaker of the night is our group project coordinator, Melissa Gilbert. Melissa was my favorite speaker of the night. I agreed with everything that she had to say. Women are faced with several difficulties that hold them back from the success that they strive for. Melissa made every girl in our class realize that we are not alone! We all go through difficult times in our lives and with each others' help, we can achieve anything.
The third guest speaker of the night was the Seventh District Court of Appeals Judge, Mary DeGenaro. She is an incredibly passionate successful woman. Although I do wish I was more passionate about politics so that I could have enjoyed her presentation more. Politics or not, she is an incredible example of a woman who was career and family minded.
The fourth and final guest speaker of the night was Otterbein's Archivist, Steven Grinch. He informed us on the history of women here at Otterbein. Everything he had to tell us was extremely interesting. I wish he would have had started off the night instead of finishing the class. I was very interested but after three long hours of class, I was exhausted and ready to go back to my dorm.
Overall our first four speakers we very interesting to talk to. Melissa was my favorite speaker because she spoke of many topics that interested me as well as relate to. Mary was my least favorite speaker only because I am not as interested in politics as other students may be.
