MPTC Student Awards 2012

Friday was a special night for my fellow Moraine Park classmates and me. There was a dinner and ceremony to celebrate our achievements this academic year.

I received an MPACTE scholarship and a Meritorious Service Award. I knew quite a few people at the ceremony. Several of my friends received recognition and scholarships. I sat next to some Web Developer Club members and a former co-worker of mine who also attends MPTC.

It was refreshing to take a break from all the hard work and be acknowledged for the time and effort we put into our education and activities. Sometimes it's easy to forget to stop for a moment to appreciate and enjoy accomplishments before moving on to the next challenge.

Congratulations to all the award recipients of the night!

Week in Review: A Reflection of March 19 – 25

One good thing about staying in Wisconsin for spring break this year was the warm weather. We had temperatures in the 70’s and 80’s. I wish I could have gone to London with the other MPTC students, but I wasn’t able to do it this year. However, I can live vicariously through Sara, one of Moraine Park’s international bloggers. She went on the trip, took tons of great photos, and has shared her experiences on the International Education Travel blog.

The best news from spring break came in the form of a letter in my mailbox. I’m honored to be one of the recipients of the MPACTE scholarships. In May, the Moraine Park Association for Career and Technical Education will be presenting the awards at the MPTC Student Awards’ Banquet.

Another good thing about this past week is that I got to spend less time on homework and more time with my friends. We saw the highly anticipated Hunger Games movie. I read the book beforehand and just finished it recently. It took longer than it should for me to read, because I only had time to read 10 pages at a time most days.

What did you do during spring break? If you could’ve gone anywhere, where would you have gone?
