**Sarah  B      **  My name is Sarah and I am a senior in high school. Although the thought scares me, I can't wait to graduate. I am ready to get on with my life so that I can go to college, get married, and have a family of my own. These are the things I am looking forward to most in the future. As for the present, I love spending time with my family, boyfriend, and friends. Over the past few years I have realized how important family is and that they won't always be here. I learned this lesson after two of my grandparents were diagnosed with cancer. This caused difficult times for everyone in my family, but thank goodness both of them survived. My boyfriend is someone who I also value spending time with. I know that we won't be able to be together as much as we would like next year since I will be in college, but it is something that we both will have to learn to cope with. Even though we will be apart, we will always be together. I love being with him and never been happier in my life. Lately I have been spending more and more time with my best friends. I think we have all began to accept reality and realize we will all be going our separate ways when this summer ends. We love being together doing random things and just goofing around. We are some of the craziest and most random people you could ever meet. All of the people I have mentioned are the ones who are most important to me. If it weren't for them, my life would never be as amazing as it is now. I love them all dearly.  <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Lucida Console',Monaco,monospace">My best friend, Sarah and I on a bowling adventure.

I have an older sister, Michelle and a brother-in-law, Josh. We are as close knit as we can be considering Michelle and Josh's distance. They attend college in Tennessee and this makes it difficult to be very close. My family are Penn State Football fanatics. My dad and his brothers all love watching each and every game. They get very "into" the game. When games are on, I usually go to the mall with my mom. It is much more peaceful there. My family is also very involved in the Clinton County 4-H program. My dad works for it and also heads committees for it. As a family, we spend much of our summer preparing for the fair.

This year I am taking classes that I need to graduate and some fun ones. My two favorite classes are Pottery and Anatomy. I like pottery because it is interesting to see how things turn out, if they survive the kiln. I also think that anatomy is fascinating. I love learning all of the different things. I feel that it will help me in the future when I need to take a more in-depth anatomy course in college. As for my required classes, I am taking Computer Skills for Collegiate Success and Living on Your Own. Computer Skills is a class that I didn't think I would enjoy. Despite this, I think it will help me a lot next year at college. In it I have learned how to use Excel, create surveys, and even make a podcast, which you can listen to here.media type="file" key="sarahsarahandtrishaFINAL.wav" width="26" height="26" I am glad how much I have learned in this class. Living on Your Own is a class that I haven't started yet. I am looking forward to see if it will also be different than I expect it to be. <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif"><span style="DISPLAY: block; COLOR: rgb(5,5,5); TEXT-ALIGN: left"><span style="COLOR: rgb(167,57,57)"><span style="DISPLAY: block; COLOR: rgb(13,26,156); FONT-FAMILY: 'Lucida Console',Monaco,monospace; TEXT-ALIGN: center">

For the past two soccer seasons, I was a manager for the boys varsity and junior varsity teams. I did this with my two friends, Sarah and Cortney. Our jobs included getting the boys water, making Gatorade, and doing pretty much anything else Coach Stauffer told us to do. As for my youth group, I am the president of it. Currently we are learning a dance to the song O Holy Night to perform on Christmas Eve. I am also part of an organizational group we have. We are in the process of planning a spaghetti dinner. The proceeds will benefit Rapha House. That is a safe house in Cambodia for girls who were trafficked into the sex industry. We heard about this organization at a conference we attended this summer and it really touched our hearts. I am also the vice president of my 4-H club, the Susquehanna Haybalers. For this, I run the monthly meetings when our president isn't able to be there. I also have a few different hobbies. They include spending time with loved ones, teaching the pre-schoolers at my church, coloring in coloring books, shopping, and of course, texting.

One of the most entertaining parts of the fair, getting the animals there.

I chose this school because there aren't many options in Pennsylvania if you want to become a speech pathologist. The schools around this area are for that subject are Bloomsburg, East Stroudsburg, and Penn State University. Bloomsburg was the best school for me. I have talked to a lot of people and they said that it has a very good speech program. I plan on obtaining my Master's degree from Bloomsburg University. After I get it I would like to be a speech therapist for mentally challenged and other pre-school age children.

I think I have the best job in the world. I am an elf for Santa in town. As Santa's elf my first job is to create a work schedule for all of the other elves. When we actually start working I write down what the children want for Christmas and give them a popcorn ball and candy cane. As an elf, sometimes I also try to calm down the children who are scared of Santa. I love seeing the changes in the kids from year to year. That is one of the best parts. I could have never asked for a better job that I would love so much.
