The Life of Lara

Lara obviously has a lot of time on her hands since she just took her last final. This semester she took Chemistry and Sociology (Deviant Behavior) and finished up with a B and an A. She plans to take the summer off and return in the fall to finish up Calculus. In addition to being out of school, she is also out of a job. She kept cutting back her hours more and more until there weren't any hours on the schedule. She will work on an "on call" basis, but for all intents and purposes, is unemployed. Again, is that a tear? Not to worry, she has been keeping busy. This past year she has been teaching Alec's Confirmation class and ultimately got involved with the Youth Board (along with Michael). Together they have been planning activities for the 6th-8th graders one Saturday a month that involve service projects for an orphanage in Romania. In addition, Lara has been invited to join 13 high school youth and three other chaperones to San Antonio, TX this July for a youth gathering! It has been amazing getting to know the kids and the new youth director, Elizabeth. If you'd like to see more of what they've been up to, check out this link: http://www.oursaviourlutheransimi.org. So you can see that Lara is pretty busy--and she has quite a bit planned for this fall, too...
