Fueling the Fire.

Tomorrow is the first day of my sophomore year as a college student. Where does the time go? Anyway, I am so thrilled for this year. So many big things are happening! Today was our first meeting to kick off the recycling program at school. I would call the meeting a success; everyone came with so many great ideas. We have a meeting with the dean of student activities very soon, and that is just the first step of making this program a success.

I was talking with another student the other day about the recycling program, and she told me that recycling in West Texas was a contradictory statement. To me, that was like a slap in the face. Recycling should not be hard to come by; it should be something that everyone does. People take their trash out, so it should be just as easy to do the same thing with recyclables. But I would like to thank the girl for making such a statement; it motivates me even more to make a difference. Raising awareness and educating the people on campus is going to be quite a task, but I hope they see that what we are trying to accomplish is for the greater good.

It looks like I am going to have a busy, but meaningful semester. I’m taking seventeen hours that consist of World Literature, British Literature, Chemistry, United States History 2, and Theatre. I will definitely make use of the time I have left here at Howard College. Until next time, do your part to save our planet and recycle! ☺
