Erika's Musical Thoughts

Let's talk music. It is one of the very best things ever. You can sing it, play it or listen to it. There are so many different aspects to music and how it affects me. So here is Erika's break down of music.
First you have style whether it's pop, country, folk, classical, rock, techno, jazz, Christian contemporary, hymns or a super sweet eclectic style of all, you like what you like.
Then you find groups in this style that you like. Either yur surfing YouTube and find them. You friend tells you to check out this awesome band. Or you just have always liked them we all have our favorites. The bands that we tell everyone about, the ones that are okay once in a while and the secret ones you can't live without.
Moving onto songs, you can love a song for it's catchy beat, lyrics that speak to you and are relatable. Or if you are like me you love some songs and you can't even explain why. You have different jams for different occasions too. So now that I have given you my quick thoughts on music. What do you like to listen to? Leave it in the comments.  Also I am having a tough time coming up with post. So the next one is a Q and A session. This blog is so you can get to know me. Anything you wanna know I will try to answer it in the comments. Have a very blessed week.

What I am Learning as a Student Rep

    Student Representative? What's that? It is a great  role that one girl and one boy run for every year at my co-op. Last year two of my wonderful friends were elected. Rachel and Jakob did a fantastic job. They are part of the reason I decided to run for Student Rep this year.     To start this road of politics I had to write a speech. I spent some time trying to figure out what I wanted to say. I knew what I wanted to say, but I felt like I couldn't phrase it convincingly enough. In the end I decided to state a few ideas I had and not over promise. I went with the idea that we could worry about the election and then go from there with what we wanted to do as a group.     It was a fun election and in the end I was elected the girl student rep. Luke, the boy student rep won as well and he is such a great guy to work with. I have enjoyed getting to know him and sharing ideas back and forth. Luke is so funny, smart and has fantastic ideas about what ...

Thanksgiving

 Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I hope you had a good holiday with your family because I did. We traveled over to Richfield,  WA to visit with my Dad's family. This year we didn't do a "traditional" meal. We keep it simple,  but still nice.  Now as a girl who is very traditional,  when I first learned of this I was shocked! But as the day progessed I began thinking more about traditions. What do they really mean? How do they get started?   Here is where my thoughts lead me. I started with the traditions my family has and why we have them. Some of them we just do because we enjoy them and over time it became a tradition.  Others are used as a means of keeping family memories alive. All of the reasons are really good, but why do I get thrown for a loop so much when we don't do something the exact same way we have always done it.   What I really decided was, traditions are fun, but who you are chosing and how yoyr chosing to make memories with is wha...

The One Where I Graduate

Hey, Everyone! This girl did the thing, she got her diploma. Not without the help of some dear people. My teachers are incredible through the last few years at the co-op I have worked with me and taught me so many valuable and cherished lessons.  I have been blessed with a loving and hard-working Mother who has spent countless hours preparing and teaching lessons. She has spent time discussing, researching and praying over the best direction she needed to take with my education. My parents have encouraged me through any adventure I chose to embark on. They never let me believe I couldn't achieve whatever I set out to do. They taught me that hard work would always be rewarding, to always do best, and by example, they taught me to put others first and give when I can.  My brother James is truly the best brother in the world. He is my sidekick in life and we have had countless adventures together. He has shown me to accept whatever happens and be happy at the moment. He has taug...
