Afternoon sky

I must admit that the evening sky is my absolute favorite. Tonight was a beautiful mixture of light and dark grays, a luscious white that reminds me of marsh mellows, and about five shades of blue, and my favorite shade of yellow from the setting sun.  Each color representing something different, but mixed so perfectly. The clouds make me want to spend a lazy afternoon searching for images or signs from the Heavens above. They appear so peaceful and slow moving, and it’s hard to believe that they are moving so fast that they appear to be standing still. The different sizes, shapes, colors, and patterns blow my mind. I could stare at them all day. The clouds that look like tiny cotton balls are my personal favorite. Tonight, they all seemed to be mixed in together, which makes looking at the sky inevitable. It’s so serene and peaceful. The cool, refreshing breeze is one of a kind. When taking a closer look, the clouds individually have no definite shape, but the way they form together and make an object recognizable to man is amazing.  They slowly move together, than re-shape into something completely different. Their fluffy looking texture looks oh so inviting. It’s strange how something that we imagine can’t hold anything can produce destructive storms that leave families devastated. How can Mother Nature be so harsh at times? I guess that’s why we are always taught to respect her.  While gazing into the afternoon sky, I can’t help but wonder if these clouds that I admire so much are really the gateway to Heaven. If they are, what does it mean when it storms? So many unanswered questions, but the best questions are left unanswered. We will know the answers when the time comes. But for now, everyone should take a moment to enjoy the seven PM sky.

Megan Freel :)

Hey everyone, my name is Megan Freel. I was born on August 19, 1993. I’m from West Palm Beach, Florida! I’ve lived in West Palm my whole life and absolutely love it.  Some of my hobbies include almost any water sport, cheerleading, horseback riding, and music. I cheered from age eight up until the eighth grade when I dislocated my kneecap at practice. Aside from cheerleading in middle school, I was in band. I’ve been playing my flute for seven years now and was a member of my high school’s marching band. GO FALCONS! My junior year I was the assistant Drum Major and became the head Drum Major my senior year. For those who don’t know what a Drum Major is, it’s the person who conducts the marching band. I consider myself a friendly and open person. I absolutely hate confrontation and try to avoid it at all costs. I’ve been employed with Panera Bread and currently work at Flanigans Seafood Bar and Grill. I never thought I would say this, but I love and miss my job. Moving to FGCU was a big step for me because my family is extremely close. My brother and I are best friends and it is hard to not spend my last summer with him. He attends Florida State University and is studying environmental science. As for me, I absolutely love children. Therefore, I am an education major. I would love to teach kindergarten in the South Carolina area. As part of my community service in high school, I coached a recreational cheerleading team. I really knew I wanted to teach after I saw the smiles on everyone’s face after they learned a new cheer. I feel like South Carolina would be the perfect area for me because it’s not super cold, and I can still be near some sort of water like a lake. Growing up in West Palm messes with your body so I feel like I need something half way. Well, I look forward to becoming friends with everyone. I’m really looking forward to this summer comp class!
