Thing 7

As I searched around on Flickr, I had no idea of what type of picture I wanted to blog about.  I searched off the wall things until I finally decided to do something that means a lot to me.  Here on campus, I am involved in a sorority called Chi Omega.  Every year we do "Wings for Wishes" in order to gain money to donate to the Make A Wish Foundation.  Make A Wish Foundation for those of you who don't know, grants children who are terminally ill one last wish.  Each year we have tons of community involvement in getting this one day organized to raise thousands of dollars.  Last year we were able to have a wish grant party with the child we granted all of the proceeds to that we raised.  The picture posted above is from a different Chi Omega chapter in a different state, however, we all have the same philanthropy in helping adopt a child from the Make A Wish Foundation and granting them a wish.  I am so excited for this April, because our goal (which will happen) is to grant TWO wishes to two different children.

Implying this web database seems like a good tool for students.  As I was searching like a crazy person to find a picture, I ran across pictures that I thought "hmm..this could be useful."  This website has tons of images with quotes, motivational and inspirational messages, and pictures from all over of different ethnicities and subject matters.  This could be a very useful tool for research and projects, or even to clarify on a particular subject.  A lot of the times, a picture can be worth a thousand words, versus an explanation.
