December: 6.15 Fall Cumulative: 12.15   As we are heading into winter break, I found myself reflecting back on the first semester that I am shocked is already almost over. It has been another year filled with one obstacle after another. With Hurricane Ida, the subsequent evacuations, and the continued fight against the coronavirus, this semester was like no other. However, despite all the challenges, I am grateful we were able to continue the program in a pretty much normal fashion. I have sincerely enjoyed every minute and have made amazing new friends along the way, all while being able to live in the city I love and have called home these last 4 years.               For my service this month I did a few things. First, I again had the opportunity to create homemade holiday cards to be sent out to foster children. Instead, this time they were Christmas-themed. Along with a few other classmates, we were able to m...

 Blog 1:     ​      The beginning of my master's program definitely did not get off to the start I had imagined. After half online and half in-person classes for the last year and a half, I was eager to get back into the "normal" way of things. It had been a long year and I think we were all ready to have some normalcy back in our lives. The first week went great and I was excited to see what the rest of the year had to offer. Then came hurricane Ida. Having gone to Tulane as an undergraduate, I was no stranger to hurricanes, though throughout my time here I had yet had to evacuate. Growing up, I had experienced my fair share of major storms, and only once in my life have I had to leave town. Though at that time, I was almost too young to remember much. Knowing most people would be trying to leave town all at once, I decided to leave at the crack of dawn in hopes of beating the traffic. I was off to Florida to meet family friends and was lucky to only get c...
