Well this blog isn't as planned..


I have heard my sister, Lynsey, talk about her experiences and enjoyments of being a Big Sister of the Big Brother Big Sister Organization. I recently graduated from college and have gained more "free" time now that I no longer have to dedicate my time to attending classes and working on homework... so I have been thinking more and more lately that I need to help out or give back to the community. I have been looking around and searching different local organizations where I can volunteer my time at. Organization such as: Red Cross, Florida Blood Services, etc. After some (light) research and everything that I have heard from Lynsey and her experiences with her "little", I have decided to apply to the Big Brother Big Sister Organization. I have been considering this for over a month but I have been hesitant due to my own fears of fulfilling this commitment and, selfishly enough losing my newly encountered free time.

Well fears pushed aside and selfishness swallowed, I am going to fill out the application and send it to the Big Brother Big Sister organization to begin the process in order to become an approved "Big".

The other day..

I was in Tallahassee this past weekend, when a good friend of mine made a comment that I should start a blog. I have never even considered writing one before, so if they are a little choppy.. forgive me! I am just warming up. The blog suggestion was that I start an "Ask Laura" blog. Sort of like a "Dear Abby" but not? I always try to have a somewhat good answer for any question given to me and why not blog about it? Everyone else is...

This may or may not be my attempt at blogging or answering questions that seriously need answers. I could not get the idea of this out of my head.. So if you have a question, ask away :)
