G.O.A.L.S.

    

On November 17th I decided to go to COSI with my roommates, who are all also in Humanitarian Engineering Scholars. COSI is a science museum with many different fun activities to teach kids about science. We were able to go to almost every exhibit there and the Progress exhibit was definitely my favorite. In the Progress exhibit, kids learn about how times and technology have changed. You get to walk through a town in 1898, where there are telegraphs, Morse code, and horses and carriages. Then you get to walk through the same town, but in 1962, where there are now televisions, telephones, and cars. I really enjoyed visiting the play diner in the 1962 town. If I were to go to COSI again, I would spend more time at the Gadgets exhibit and I would go there first so that we all are not tired by the time we get to that exhibit. I would definitely recommend going to COSI. It was a lot of fun and I cannot wait to go again.

Girl Scouts has been a big part of my life and helped make me who I am today. This past fall I earned my Gold Award, which is the highest honor a Girl Scout can earn. For the project I created a website called Believe In A Cure. The website is for families who have a parent or both parents with breast cancer. It is more geared towards families with younger children, but it is great for all ages. There is information for the adults about breast cancer and how to explain it to their children. There is also a kids page where there are games and activities for them to do and stories to read. This page helps the kids understand more of what is happening to their parent and for them to know that they are not alone. This website is one of my biggest and most proud accomplishments which I will never forget. I have spent many hours on it and I hope to help children and families with this extremely scary experience. I will never forget it and when I found out that I earned the award it was one of the best days of my life.
