Friends!

Hey everyone,

Nothing too exciting has been going on. I've just had classes and normal everyday things! Well I guess this morning was a little different! A few friends and I got interviewed for a beauty pageant (yes, ANOTHER beauty pageant!) this morning!! The girls that are participating are supposed to represent their respective region of Ghana and show that theirs is the best. So, they are presenting to internationals since we don't really know too much about the cultures of each region so we won't be biased or anything. The actual presentation is tomorrow afternoon but today they just asked us basic questions about where we're from and what we know about Ghana so far. They also recorded us walking in and acting like we're reading a book or something. It was pretty fun! I'm excited for the presentations tomorrow!!

The main reason why I wanted to write today was to let you know about my friend Anna's blog! She just graduated from Truman in the spring and is now starting her year of service! She's helping with a pre-K class in Massachusetts. Anyway, she has a really interesting blog called The Four Tees. She asked me be a guest writer, so I am featured in her post today! What I wrote is from a little while ago, but I'm still pretty excited about it! You can check it out here:

Thanks again to everyone for your support! It really means the world to me to know how many people are cheering me on at home! Hopefully tomorrow I'll get lots of pictures from the presentation and the dance show to share! :)
