I am a human services major because I want to be able to give people the advice and guidance needed for a better or happier life.

I am very privledged to be able to experience everything I do, I could not ask for a better life.

Our Class Hike..
On May 10th 2010 our class went to Robert Treman State Park in Ithaca, New York. We started a 2 mile hike at the bottom of the trail and started to climb. It was a fun experience because we were able to be involved with nature. As a group we passed waterfalls, large trees and other natural parts of a forest. After accidently whipping my phone down a hill, and running away from a snake in my path, it was a crazy trip away from the computer lab. We walked up steep hills and long dirt paths to get to the large waterfall. We reached a dead end with part of the trail ended and we had to improvise. It was a fun time and a different experience for me. At the end of the trip Marki (below) and I were quite exhausted if you cannot tell haha!
