Ink

About six years ago when I was 18 I went out and got my first tattoo. I got the Japanese symbol for happiness tattooed on my lower abdomen on the left side. I always wanted to get more but was never really sure of what I wanted or where I wanted it. Me and my sister had talked about getting matching tattoos a while ago but this weekend went and got them. It is the outline of two stars. The larger star signifies me (the older sister) and the little star signifies her (the younger sister) check it out. I will have another photo soon with hers as well.

p.s. for anyone out there who says tattoos don't hurt. They're Lying!

Harold Grinspoon Foundation

A while back I took an entrepreneurship class at Westfield State College as an elective. For this class we were required to write a 15 page business plan... oh did I mention I took this class during the two week winter session. It was a lot of work but well worth it. My business plan was based on my photography business. Well a couple months ago my advisor asked me to resubmit the paper to him so he could submit it in for the Harold Grinspoon Entrepreneurship awards. A few days later i received a call from my advisor telling me I won a $1500 award for my paper! Can you say AWESOME! I don't normally win things and to get an award like that I was super excited! On April 29th a banquet was held at the Log Cabin in Holyoke for all the award winners. The winners including myself each got a table to display our work and talk about our businesses while guests came around and checked us out. Below are a few pictures from the event.
