The wonderful Corvallis, Oregon
It's a rainy town with 42.2 inches of rain a year. The weather is similar to Grants Pass, cold in the winter, hot in the summer.
There are lots of recreational activities there. Corvallis is located by 3 National forests that offer hiking and nature reserves. The Whiteside Theater does live theater, so much of my time could be spent there. There is also a water park and movie theaters.
My High School Plan to Reach My Goals
I volunteer with an all girls camp that deals with troubled kids ages 8 to 13. this work helps me learn how to deal with the kids and build relationships. I can also volunteer in classroom when I am old enough. I want to be a teacher so I plan to take all the Child Development classes and Physiology to better mu understanding of kids intentions and background.
