There's Noting Like Volunteering and Giving Back!

In February and during my spring break of this year, I volunteered a few days for six hours at M.V. Leckie Elementary School in South West, Washington, DC. I know it's not many hours, but knowing you're doing something for a great cause, can feel like forever. Especially when children are involved!


Here's just a few that I chosen to post.

Procrastination Is Not Always Fun!

I've been extremely busy lately, and haven't really attended to my blog constantly like I am supposed to. Because of that, I have an ample amount of pictures to upload. It's the same feeling as letting a large load of dirty clothes pile up when one should have been washed them. You still aren't up to doing it. Now you have no choice. So I either do it now or suffer some other time.  


I'm uploading them. Check it out!
