Giving Back the Big Half. Reflections of a college student devoted to service. Tuesday, August 21, 2012. What Else Can You Do About It Except Laugh? There was only one problem, when I turned the handle of the faucet, no water came out. Thinking I must be imagining things I tried turning the other handle of the faucet, still no water came rushing out, not even a trickle. Unwilling to accept this, I went down the line of sinks, turning the handle of each one. Water did not present itself. But, instead, I s...

Giving Back the Big Half: A Grave in Red Dirt
http://givingbackthebighalf.blogspot.com/2013/08/a-grave-in-red-dirt.html
Giving Back the Big Half. Reflections of a college student devoted to service. Sunday, August 25, 2013. A Grave in Red Dirt. Thirteen years of dance training didn't seem to have any effect on my ability to travel through the wilderness of Africa, and Vile found my lack of agility to be of great amusement. She laughed hysterically as I tripped over a rock and skated down the dirt as if it were ice, landing in a small ditch. You Americans don't even know how to walk! Vile, what is. I stood motionless to st...

Giving Back the Big Half: October 2012

Giving Back the Big Half. Reflections of a college student devoted to service. Saturday, October 13, 2012. Not a day goes by where I don’t think about my brothers and sisters across the world. Sandile, Kholiwe, Danele, Colile, Takhona, Gizy, Tlamiso, Dumsile and dozens of other names and faces run through my head as I go about my daily activities. It’s been almost three months since I left for Swaziland and I’m still processing. I’m still on that struggle bus. My power, my strength, was just an illusion.

Giving Back the Big Half. Reflections of a college student devoted to service. Saturday, January 11, 2014. I Go to Swaziland to Count Rocks. Whenever people find out I’ve been to Swaziland, Africa, people are very excited to talk to me about it. Their eyes light up and they ask animatedly,. 8220;So, what was the highlight of your trip? 8220;The highlight of my trip was sitting in the dirt and counting pebbles with a very sweet little girl.”. What a waste of money.”. If counting rocks with a 5 year old in...

Giving Back the Big Half. Reflections of a college student devoted to service. Friday, June 21, 2013. 8220;We are just so far from having it all together aren’t we? I nod and grunt a wordless agreement. Sierra pauses thoughtfully, then lifts her head and looks at me straight on. 8220;But isn’t it great how God can use us anyway? 8221; I knew I wanted to go back to sing and pray and laugh and cry and love the people who I knew for such a short time yet so easily came to feel like family. And then all at o...

Giving Back the Big Half: December 2012
http://givingbackthebighalf.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
Giving Back the Big Half. Reflections of a college student devoted to service. Friday, December 7, 2012. Let me take you back to a day about fourteen years ago. I'm standing on the blacktop basketball court in front of my elementary school's playground staring at the sky. The clouds above me are a murky grey, ominously promising rainfall. I wonder what the clouds must feel like. Are they soft like my stuffed animals? A dozen other six year olds are scrambling around me, lining up to go inside after recess.

Giving Back the Big Half. Reflections of a college student devoted to service. Wednesday, May 23, 2012. Grieving to Gratitude: How Thankfulness Changed My Life. Smiling and am most definitely not in some kind of eternally good mood. I get angry, sad, and feel pain far more often than most people seem to realize. I have my bad days just like everyone else. I’m human, not a Barbie doll with a smile plastered on its face. Then, one day, about three weeks before I started college, I decided I’d write i...
