One more week before I am done with classes which is really exciting. The feeling is kind of surreal since it seems like just yesterday I was talking to my dad about the possibility of going to Avila to play soccer. However, even as everything is coming to a close, there were still plenty of things to keep me on my toes this week.

The student leadership award ceremony this week is definitely going to be one of those moments that I look back upon and can't help but smile. The reason is because of one award: the Sr. Ellen Marie Gavin Award. It usually goes to members of Campus Ministry who put countless hours into the helping of those around the campus and community. Someone like Jenn or Bernadette. Yet, somehow, the team voted that I should receive it this year. This truly humbled me because I really don't think I deserve such an honor. While I help out as much as possible, it just seems that others are more deserving than myself. It boggles my mind why my friends would vote for me to receive the award, which makes me even more humble to receive such an honor.

After attending the award ceremony, I went to watch my brother Jeremy play in a soccer tournament not far from Avila. Jeremy's team usually isn't the best but was playing extremely well and managed to make to make it to the finals on Sunday afternoon. I really enjoy watching Jeremy play because he reminds me of myself back when I was his age: small and underestimated. It was fun to watch him take the ball multiple times up the field and have chances to score. Unfortunately, he seems to have the same problem that I had, he waits too long to shoot. In the end, his team managed to take second which was a first for his team, so his they were all really happy.

With my senior thesis officially due Tuesday, I will spending most of the first part of this week putting some finishing touches on it to make it perfect before I turn it in. Once turned in, I have a few more easy assignments to turn in before I am done. Yea!!! So until next week…
