Ashley as of April 11th, 2008

Ashley is a junior in high school, wow how times fly! It seems like yesterday when she was running around in her aunts skirts pretending they were dresses. She's getting ready for prom, and is very excited about it. Since being in high school Ashley has found a love in journalism, politics, and volunteering. Many would, and do say, that she isn't a "normal" teenager, but we all know that she does have her "normal teenager" moments. She has interned at the campaign office for Bill Ritter, and went on to intern in his press office at the State Capitol. Bill Ritter is our governor. When she left her internship at the State Capitol, she ended up getting a recommendation letter from the governor, what a great accomplishment!!! She was very excited. She has taken four college classes this year so far; Journalism (she got an A), English 121 (she recieved another A), and she is currently taking Spanish and Anthropology. Ashley is still playing the violin, who thought that seven years later the little nine-year-old girl making all of the screeching noises on that instrument would be in the advanced orchestra and even lettering in orchestra?! We are all very proud of her!
