Nice Girl: Adopt a US Soldier

Hey nice girls!

After talking to several people at BW who have adopted a soldier I was inspired to adopt one of my own.  A few days ago I visited www.adoptaussoldier.org and applied to be apart of the non-profit organization.  I applied on Sunday evening and I was so excited I was constanly checking my email to see if I received the information on my adopted soldier.  Finally yesterday I received the email with my soldiers information and I immediately emailed John to introduce myself. 

Last night in the middle of the night I received an email back from John.  I was so excited to hear from  him.  He introduced himself to me and expressed how excited he was to be adopted.  Let me tell you I couldn’t have felt better about putting a smile on this man’s face.  I am looking forward to getting to know him better while he is serving our country and when he returns home. 

If you are reading this blog I challenge you to take five minutes out of your day and apply to adopt a soldier.  This is a great way to give back and be involved with something bigger than yourself.  You have the opportunity to email your soldier and also send them care packages.  Maybe even some day you can meet them and their families if you become close enough with them.  I can’t explain how I felt when I received my first email back from John.  I know the US soldiers would be excited, and thrilled to be adopted by someone like you. 

If you decide to adopt a soldier of your own write to me in the comments below.  I have high hopes you will get involved and adopt a soldier.  I hope you are having a great Wednesday!  Be fierce, be fabulous and remember nice girls always finish first.

Hey everyone!!

What a great first day back to BW yesterday.  I’m excited to say I really like all of my classes I am taking this semester.  The day started off great with Business Ethics, Accounting, and then International marketing and I ended the day with line dancing. 

Line dancing was by far the best class of the day. In class we learned two line dances.  Being a cheerleader for many years helped me to pick up on the dances quickly so I was able to dance and have fun instead of concentrating on the dance itself.  This was a great way to end the day.  I am looking forward to Wednesday and the next set of dances I will learn. 

Besides line dancing I think I am really going to enjoy my international marketing class.  I am 

really looking forward to learning how different cultures market their products and how they react to marketing in general.  I think it will be a great class to continue learning about and exploring diversity. 

Side note: This morning I woke up to an email from BW saying I was randomly selected as a senior to participate in an assessment test.  Of course I do not have a choice but to take this test because they will not allow me to schedule for second semester if I fail to not show up to take this assessment. The email says I am not being graded or assessed but BW as an institution is being assessed.  I had to laugh because I’m not sure if I am the best candidate to be taking the assessment because I cannot take a standardized test to save my life.  I apologize for my score now BW… maybe you should have checked out my ACT score before you “randomly” selected me. Bahahaha!

I am patiently waiting for an exciting email and I cannot wait to blog about this fabulous opportunity I am taking part in.  Hopefully I will get the email today or tomorrow and I’ll be able to post about it.  It will be a Nice Girl post so check back for it!

I hope classes are going great, you are having fun, believing in yourself and remembering nice girls always finish first!
