Almost done......

My Senior Seminar Class on our last day of class

Last night I finished with my Spring finals.....and yesterday morning I turned in my senior thesis paper...phew! The paper I finished after three months of research, drafts and edits was on eating disorders and how the media's influence contributes to the problem. I researched prevention programs and highlighted a program on media literacy for teens called GO GIRLS! and discussed the positive and negative elements based on prevention research. I was so excited to do a project that was actually applicable to my life. In my ministry, I teach girls and moms about how the advertising industry changes how they feel about themselves and their bodies. I have struggled my whole life with body image problems and so this issue was close to my heart.

This coming Sunday I get walk through commencement at the University of Washington Seattle campus, where I started my college degree almost 23 years ago. I have a couple of classes to finish up this summer.....but I am almost done!!!!!!
