Summer is on it's way
Hello everyone! Spring semester is coming to a close, hope ya'll are doing good on finals. Graduation is next week YIPPEEEE, I am so excited to finally be done with my degree but also a little sad because I will miss all the great instructors and classmates on campus! Guess I will have to come back and take more classes lol. This semester has been a long one but incredibly fun. I would like to encourage everyone to paticipate in clubs, organizations and other extracuriclur activities on campus. You will be amazed at how these can enhance your college experience. But I do advise that you don't overextend yourself, plenty of rest will keep alert and able to focus on your studies. I learned this the hard way by pushing myself beyond the point of exhaustion and have had to deal with some serious health issues because of it. I wouldn't trade any of the great times I have had this semester but definatly would make sure I found the time for rest. Good luck to all of you in what ever your future holds and you never know I may be back!

Graduation Is Next Month
I hope everyone is having a great semester. This semester has just flown by and graduation is coming up on May 10, 2011. Remember starting tomorrow you can pick up your graduation tickets. Due to the lack of space in the gym, ACC will have the lunch room open and the ceremony will be shown on the "BlueTube". This year ACC has a second option that is pretty cool, they have opened the ACC Theatre for seating and will show the entire ceremony on a big screen. I know I am excited, because I am one of the graduates crossing the stage! I have also had the honor of being President of Phi Theta Kappa, which is the Honor Society for two year colleges. If you are a member of Phi Theta Kappa, make sure you stop by the ACC bookstore and purchase your PTK stole and tassle, to be worn during the graduation ceremony.
Several of our ambassadors are graduating, which means Cammy and Liz will be needing to replace them. There will be an "Ambassador Session" on April 21, from 12:00 until 2:00 in the Texas Room. Kristy and myself will be there to conduct the session and answer any questions you might have about the Ambassador Program. You will be able to fill out an application, as well as have your initial interview on the spot. Being an Ambassador is a great honor, since you are the "Face of ACC", and don't forget about the $500 scholarship that goes along with that.
I have enjoyed being an ambassador for the last two semesters, and if it weren't for me graduating, I would do it again next semester. I have enjoyed every minute of my two years here at ACC and I will continue to take some courses that will enhance my degree. Enjoy this beautiful weather, and I look forward to seeing you around campus.

Spring Semester Frenzy
Is everyone as busy as I am this semester?
I have to say I have double helpings on my plate this Spring. Working full time, full class load here at ACC, Student Ambassador events, and serving as Phi Thetta Kappa Vice President. It can be very difficult to juggle all of our responsibilities without becoming completely stressed and burnt out. Thank goodness Spring Break is just around the corner!
Sometimes I have to force myself to slow down and take a breather. If I don't take a moment or two to relax and recharge I have a hard time keeping my eye on the prize. Here are some suggestions you could try that work for me: read a book for pleasure (that's not school related), get a massage, "retail therapy", visit with friends (that I don't see very often due to busy schedule), or take a walk.
I can't believe it is already the end of February and graduation is in a couple of months. I am super excited that I will finally finish my goal! I will be graduating with an Associates Degree in Office Administration. The Office Administration program offers instruction in many skills that most of need everyday whether we plan to go into that career flield or not. The computer applications and word processing classes are valuable to anyone.
If any of you are scheduled to graduate in May the caps and gowns should arrive in the school store in approximately two weeks.
I had a great time with Liz and my fellow ambassador Karen at the Manvel High School Shutdown last week. We were able to provide students with information about ACC and encourage them to go to college. Blue made an appearance and was quite awesome. Being an ambassador has really helped me to get more involved in ACC be aware of resources I didn't know aobut before. I am having tons of fun and have the pleasure of so many new friends.
Just a reminder ACC Open House is next week on March 10th from 4-7 pm. There will be plenty of fun and games for everyone so mark your calenders.
Hope to see all of you at Open House and have a splinded week!

Superbowl Sunday
At last, all of the blustery days are behind us and beautiful weather is coming. I hope everyone is as excited about Superbowl Sunday as I am. Well, the teams that are playing, are not exactly my picks for the top two contenders, but I love watching the Superbowl every year. The commercials alone, are a good reason to tune in.
May 10, will be here before you know it, and we will have another great group of graduates crossing the stage. I am so excited, because I am one of them! My time here at ACC has just flown by, and I am kind of sad to see it end. I have been thinking of taking a couple of courses next semester, since there are some classes that would enhance my degree. Now I need to decide what my next adventure will be.
My best advice to all of the students is to get involved. Whatever you are interested in, there is an organization for you. I have been a student ambassador for two semesters now and I am currently President of Phi Theta Kappa; because of my willingness to get involved, I have made so many wonderful friends and had the chance to get acquainted with some of the faculty here. It is a proven fact, that the more involvement a student has with their college, the better their grades are. I know that my grades are definitely a reflection of my involvement and dedication to ACC. I have even had the opportunity to wear the "Blue" mascot suit. Get out and support our athletes. I know I am looking forward to watching some baseball and softball games. Go Dolphins!
I look forward to seeing everyone around campus, and remember if you ever need assistance with anything, there are nine ambassadors who are ready and willing to help.
