A TED Talk is an inspirational piece of writing that somebody shares with you. My mom introduced me to the idea of starting a club at my school, I'm still working on getting everybody on board with the idea. This was the one my mom showed me, and I personally think it's the best that I've seen yet.

On February 8, 2014 I was able to go to a camp that was meant for teachers. This was in St. Louis and it was fun even for a student. I met many incredible people and learned a lot more than I expected. The story behind edcampSTL is... my mom was going to this camp and told me what it was about. I decided I wanted to speak and wrote a speech, although I wasn't able to speak and the original plan was for me to stay one session I decided I wanted to stay for the entire thing. If you would like to learn more, search for the hashtag #edcampSTL on Twitter! I hope you have the best year you could possibly have! My New Year resolution is to try to be more myself and not one of my friends. Anyway, what's your New Years resolution? Comment below or go to the Contact Me page and tell me.
-Liv O. Headed home from Reagan Airport in DC! I hope you had a great holiday break with your families and friends! I had a great time with my family. I got to make cookies with my adorable 3 year old cousin. We had a big party for my cousin and uncle (their birthdays are 3 days apart). We also went to the Native American museum, the American History museum, and the Metro (which I could ride all day without stopping 😃)! I hope you have a wonderful Christmas Vacation and I hope you get to watch Christmas Vacation during the Christmas season. My flight's boarding, see you at home. My home, not yours, that would be weird! ;) Liv O. What are you doing this holiday? I'm sitting in the airport waiting for my flight to Washington D.C. to take off. My flight takes off in 30 minutes. I'm blogging to pass the time. They are starting the "boarding process." It won't be long now! See you in D.C. Tell me where your going this holiday, comment below! :) - Liv O. Hey get it it's 11/12/13! Yesterday was Veteran's Day. My school district did a special flag raising to celebrate the soldiers who fought for our nation. Two years ago the date would have been 11/11/11! Ha ha!

We ended up in the last row, but we still could see everything perfectly. The orchestra was small but we could still hear them perfectly too. It was beautiful, the way they pizzicato(plucked) their string instruments. They even did an entire song with just clapping hands! It was a concert worth writing a post about.
