National Charity League Senior Presents

National Charity League is an organization where girls and their mothers donate their time within their community. My mom and I began our NCL journey together when I was in seventh grade. Through my experience in NCL, I have learned to not take my blessings for granted. While everyone has hurdles in their life, a wider perspective can make your problems seem very minor compared to others. So you are probably wondering, why the wedding dress? At the end of senior year of high school, each chapter of National Charity League holds a Senior Presents where each girl is recognized for her accomplishments through her time in the organization (as you can tell it is very formal). After being presented we have a giant celebration with our closest family and friends! It was such a fun night to end my rewarding time in NCL.

Chicago, Illinois

This past spring break I went to Chicago for my sister’s volleyball tournament. I watched her play, but I also took advantage of the city as well! I was excited to visit Chicago because I have heard that people generally like it, but as a New York kind of girl, I did not plan on liking it that much. After walking around and exploring, I loved it (just a little less than I love New York)! Michigan Avenue was basically every store you can think to shop at on one street, along with adorable restaurants and of course the Bean! For anyone wondering, the Bean is really worth the hype. I may have taken too many pictures of it because I have never seen anything like it. The Burberry store is another piece of art that caught my eye. It has the iconic plaid on the building! Chicago is basically a mini New York City with tons of great shopping and eating! What more does a girl need?
