Smile no matter what

TRY IT!!!

3 June 2014

Hello guys! Ok at first it wasn’t so bad. But now I miss having service and Wi-Fi! It feels as if I am actually a cadet going through basic training with no phone. But I will not let this interfere with my #100DaysofHappy. Oh, I forgot to mention that I began the 100 happy day challenge. It is now day eight. Nothing or no one can make me mad. You should try it. 

Today, was long. We were away from our barracks for eight hours discussing different topics. The only hard part about today was staying up through all of the talking. I am loving the business world though. Creative minds together are awesome! Until next time. 

Day 1

2 June 2014 

Mr. Smarts and Mr. Walker met us at the bank around 9:00 and drove us to our new home, our working office. We had class for three hours discussing Army ranks and safety: lightening safety, heat safety, and personal safety. Our working environment will be outside; therefore, they enforce us too drink plenty of water to refrain from being sick. At 12:00 we had an hour lunch. We tried to go to the cafe and eat for free but it was filled with cadets; therefore, we ate at a subway on base. As we all know, according to, United States military, “If you’re on time, you’re late; if you’re early you’re on time. In saying so, we ate quickly so that we could be on time. After returning back to our new home, we separated into our groups: Public relations/social media, video, photography, and writing. I am apart of the video team along with four others. For the next three hours of class we discussed our mission, goal, and vision for this summer. Although I am not a video expert I am so ready to learn and produce products. Everyday this becomes more interesting. Well, I guess I can catch up on some sleep and get ready for another informal meeting. Say your prayers. Until next time. 

Up Up Up and Away ....

1 June 2014

Fort Knox, Kentucky here I come. As I swiftly packed the day before leaving, I was eager to head to the airport and arrive in Louisville, Kentucky.  I had already been home, which is Hopkins, South Carolina for the entire month of May and was ready for my next stop. My brother and mother dropped me off at the Columbia Metropolitan airport an hour early

before heading to church Sunday morning. My plane was expected to depart at 11:15 but unfortunately, it was delayed until 1:15. During this time I only surfed the web, and updated my status with eager tweets and post, only to kill my battery. Therefore, I was unable to listen to music during the plane ride because my battery was too low. Once safely arriving in Charlotte, I had already missed my original connecting flight, therefore, the next flight scheduled to Louisville, Kentucky was loading as soon as I arrived. Needless to say, I was unable to charge my phone.  Finally arriving in Louisville, Kentucky around 4:30 I met Mr. Smarts, director of PAO (Public Assistance Office) on Fort Knox base along with two other interns. After placing my bags in the van, he drove us to Fort Knox, Kentucky. I almost had an anxiety attack how anxious I was to meet all the other interns. When we finally arrived at the place we were staying I saw all the other interns as we drove up to the dorm waiting on the balcony. They were all so welcoming and nice. After meeting everyone I went to my room and unpacked while my roommate Katie converted with me. I forgot to mention food; I didn’t eat all day, so when the interns decided to go eat . . . I was more than happy. Well, we are scheduled to meet at the bank on base at 8:45 to see what we have gotten ourselves into. In the meantime keep F.A.I.T.H and I will be sure to keep you updated.
