Welcometo Burlington

Magazine

Dear Readers,

In this issue, we’re celebrating Spring and all the things that go along with it. As you can see from our cover, Heaven Sent Private Care is thinking about nice weather and all the fun activities they can plan for their clients this year.

Just down the road in Asheboro the North Carolina Zoo is gearing up with their new Dino World display. The animals are shaking off the winter cold and the flora and fauna throughout the park are starting to bloom. In this year’s new exhibit you can explore a forest of dinosaurs like you have never seen them before.

Did you attend the Maker’s Guild Roundtable? If you missed it, check out what’s happening with them in the Maker City article by Bennett Harris. Exciting things are coming!

In celebration of the Sound of Music’s 50th anniversary, Walter Boyd takes us back to October, 1941 when the Trapp Family Singers graced the stage at Elon College in the Whitley Auditorium. Can you imagine sitting in the audience and watching them perform, how cool is that?

With Mother’s day fast approaching, it can be challenging to find new and unique ways to show Mom your affection. Sometimes the simplest concepts are the ones that she appreciates the most. Buy her some sweet treats at your local candy shop, flowers or a potted plant she can enjoy throughout the summer months, take her to lunch at her favorite place or just offer to do her chores for the day and let her sit and relax with her feet up. Spending time with loved ones is what Moms enjoy more than anything in the world. Take a moment this Mother’s Day to say thank you to the women in your life who have had an influence on you.

We get so many great comments on the content we have in every issue. Look for even more variety as we introduce additional contributing and guest writers in the months to come and if you are interested in writing for Burlington Magazine, please contact us.

Happy Spring!

“I Love Loving

People!”By Sherry Johnson

Tricia McMasters was born and raised in Kansas. She grew up on a farm with acres of cornfi elds, alfalfa, wheat, cows, chickens and horses. After high school, she studied

nursing at Dodge City Community College, graduating in 1995 with an LPN degree.

She moved to Topeka, Kansas and started a private home care business. She offered private care for four clients on her own for eight years, before she expanded and hired employees. She and her staff managed many clients over the next 13years.

In 2009, her mom was diagnosed with colon cancer. Tricia sold her business and moved home to be closer to her mother and help take care of her through her treatments and illness for the next two years. In the last 11 days of her mom’s life, she talked to Tricia about her personal vision of heaven. That comforted Tricia, and helped her be okay with her Mom’s passing and let her go when the time came. It also allowed her to develop a closer relationship with God.

After her Mom passed, Tricia was surrounded by so many painful memories that she needed a fresh start. She moved to North Carolina in February 2012 to be close to friends, who could offer a support system to begin her healing process.

Although not sure what direction her life would take, she knew she wanted to work with horses. She spent a lot of time looking for a horse farm who was hiring. She found Creekridge Farm and loved the look of the place from the photos of it she found online. She drove out one day to meet the owner, Tony McMasters. When she asked if he was hiring and would he consider hiring her to work with the horses, he said “no.” Not one to give


up, she stayed for the next forty-five minutes talking with him until he finally changed his mind.

Once she began working at the farm, she subleased one of the horses from its owner, basically becoming the caregiver for the horse, paying for room, board and shoeing costs, and in return she got to exercise and groom the horse. She spent every day at the barn, mucking out the stalls, trail riding and taking care of the farm when Tony was traveling.

Tony recommended that she consider taking a position with a friend of his in Greensboro. Although she hadn’t planned on starting her business here in North Carolina, she began cleaning house for this family, and as time went on she started providing care for their elderly Dad.

Tricia continued to work at the farm and she and Tony became close friends. They talked about everything, and supported each other through rough times. When she took a trip to Colorado in August to visit her Dad, Tony came with her. While he was there, he asked her father’s permission to marry her. Her father’s response, “You are over 21 and have a job, don’t you?” With a smile on his face, Tony then asked Tricia to marry him and she said yes.

When they returned home and started discussing wedding plans, Tony asked her how an October wedding worked for her, and thinking he meant the following year, she said that would be perfect. But Tony had other ideas and they were married at the farm just two short months later on October 19, 2013. When she called her Dad, who was unable to attend the ceremony to let him know, he told her that was the date that he had married her Mom, so it became an even more special day for Tricia.

Many times she talked with Tony about opening another private care business, and her current client’s family was very supportive and encouraging. Basically, they gave her the “boot in the butt” she needed. In October, 2013 she filed the paperwork to start Heaven Sent Private Care, LLC which became officially licensed by the state of North Carolina on January 17, 2014. Tony came up with the name, because he always said that Tricia was “Heaven Sent” to him. Her employees and clients now echo that sentiment.

Tricia has a team of dedicated employees that work closely together providing her the help and support she needs to make sure that her clients are taken care of.

Tricia’s clients trust her to bring someone into their home trained to take good care of them. She is very aware of that responsibility and when hiring employees, she might be a little unconventional but it’s what works for her. She meets with each potential new hire, and then spends time after praying over them, letting God guide her decision making to hire them or not. In the second interview with a potential candidate, she asks them five questions. She trusts her gut as she listens to their responses. She handles all of her business decisions the same way, including accepting


new clients.

“My business will never be without God. That’s what has led me all of these years. The strength of God and my Mom’s memory are why I started my business again.”

In a very short time, Tricia has grown her private care business to include 19 employees. They are in fourteen client homes, caring for one or more person as several of their clients are couples who both need support and care. Heaven Sent has an RN on staff, but Tricia does all the evaluations herself. She spends the first 12 to 24 hours with each client, assessing their needs and learning their habits. She then trains her staff personally, so she knows that each client’s individual needs are being met. If they like their bed made a certain way or they have breakfast at a certain time – whatever their needs, Tricia makes sure that the employee in charge of their care has been trained thoroughly to make them as comfortable as possible.

Heaven Sent Private Care, LLC can provide services from one hour a month to twenty-four hours a day. They offer full-time non-medical care, laundry, light housekeeping, and meal preparation. They sit with a client who has entered the hospital, keeping them comfortable and relieving their family members of that duty so they don’t have to take extended leaves of absence or miss work. Many times, a patient is able to come home after a hospital stay instead of going into a nursing home to recover because Tricia’s team is right there to help them. They work closely with a client’s personal doctor and medical team to make sure each client’s needs are being met.

Loneliness is a hard thing for the aging generation, and Tricia provides companionship and care at the same time. If a client is mobile, she organizes two or three outings a month and will take them to the park, or the zoo, shopping at the Farmer’s Market or an apple orchard. The caregivers often take their clients on day trips, grocery shopping, to the movies – whatever the client would like to do. They offer respite care, if a family member is the primary caregiver and they just need to get out of the house for a few hours to run errands, do grocery shopping or whatever, Tricia and her team will sit with the client, read the paper, play games or just keep them company. If a family needs to go away for vacation or holidays, Heaven Sent staff is available to stay with their family member so they have peace of mind while they are gone that their loved one is well cared for. They have also accompanied a client and their family to the beach, so the client can be part of the vacation, but the family is free to enjoy a stressfree vacation while their loved one is able to come with them.

Some clients just need a little help getting up and ready for the day and then at the end of the day to get ready for bed. There are no minimum requirements with Heaven Sent; you can use them as little or as much as you need. Tricia offers two free hours of service to all new incoming clients. This


allows you to try their services and see if it is the right fit for you and your family’s situation, without any obligation or long-term contracts.

As the owner of the company, Tricia takes special time with each client and she checks in with her caregivers and clients constantly to make sure that everything is okay and everyone is happy. “I love loving people!” Watching her with one of her own clients, you can tell that Tricia truly cares and enjoys being with them. When she first took on her current client, he rarely left the house and was not very mobile. He now takes walks during nice weather, and after breakfast he is raring to get out of the house.

Heaven Sent Private Care, LLC is a family business. Tricia’s two sons work for her, helping with office work, as well as being caregivers. Her oldest son is also a trained EMT firefighter. Her 14 year old often invites her clients to go to the movies. “We want everyone to feel like they are family.”

One of Tricia’s favorite sayings is “There is no ‘I’ in team.” This really tells you how she manages her employees and her clients. Although she doesn’t mix business with personal, Tricia makes sure that everyone knows that they are appreciated and since she can’t do it all by herself, they are a huge part of her life and her success.

“There is no 9 to 5 in this business. You get calls in the middle of the night for a client who has been admitted to the hospital, you grab your bag and get there as quickly as you can! You might be there for four hours or four days, but the fact that you are there is what’s important!”

Tricia and her caregivers are looking forward to meeting and caring for your family. Give her a call today and see what Heaven Sent can do to help you and your loved ones.

A special thank you to our clients, friends and family that have helped our business grow in 2013. We could not have had such a successful year without your support. Wishing you much happiness this holiday season!

Keep windows, garages and sheds locked; and don't forget to use deadbolts.

Use timers to turn on lights and a television or radio.

Maintain at least a foot of space between a burning candle and anything that can catch fire.

When hanging lights outdoors, avoid using staples or nails which can damage wiring. Use UL-rated clips or wires instead.

Don't overload electrical circuits with holiday lighting; unplug your tree and outdoor lights before going to bed.

Don't leave a spare key in a "hiding place." Burgulars know where to look.

Lock your power box with an electricity authority lock (lock to which you and the electric company have a key) so that your home security alarm system cannot be cut off from the power supply.

Is now the right time for you to buy a home? You have many options to consider and choices to make. Buying a home is a big responsibility, fi nancially and emotionally, but most people want to own a home. Homeownership often is referred to as “the American dream.” Why is it so special? Among the reasons: Real estate often is an excellent investment, perhaps the number one source of wealth-building for families.

Buying vs. Renting


Owning a home has many benefits. When you make a mortgage payment, you are building equity-and that’s an investment. Owning a home also qualifies you for tax benefits

that may assist you in dealing with your new financial responsibilities – such as homeowner’s insurance, real estate taxes and upkeep, which can be substantial. But given the freedom, stability, and security of owning your own home, they are definitely worth it! Owning your own home also can be a great source of pride and stability.

But homeownership may not be for everyone. It’s a big financial commitment – starting with the initial shock of your purchase (including a down payment and fees paid to a real estate agent, the lender and others) followed by years of monthly mortgage payments, real estate taxes, property insurance and maintenance costs. When you decide to purchase a home, you accept responsibility for paying these expenses. They are additional costs to your monthly mortgage payment and should be included in your budget estimates: Property Taxes and Special Assessments, Home/Hazard Insurance, Utilities, Maintenance, Home Owner Association (HOA) Fee if applicable.

One of the advantages of renting is being generally free of most maintenance responsibilities and the flexibility of moving almost as soon as you decide. But by renting,

you lose the chance to build equity, take advantage of tax benefits, and protect yourself against rent increases. Also, you may not be free to decorate without permission and may be at the mercy of the landlord for your housing needs.

Home ownership also comes with short and long-term tax advantages. The mortgage interest and real estate taxes are tax deductible, which allows you to subtract part of your housing-related expenses from your taxable income and could reduce your tax bill. In many cases, the amount of money a renter spends on rent can be about the same or less than the amount a homeowner spends on a mortgage. With the tax benefit of homeowners, the savings can be significant.

Buy vs. Rent: Cost Comparison

The chart below shows a cost comparison for a renter and a homeowner over a seven year period. The renter starts out paying $800 per month with annual increases of 5%.

The homeowner purchases a home for $180,000 and pays a monthly mortgage of $1,000 (based on a 4% interest rate and 20% down payment). After a year, the homeowner’s payment is lower than the renter’s monthly payment.

And remember, with tax-deductible interest, you’ll save even more!

Burlington is recognized by the White House as one of the fi rst four "Maker Cities" in North Carolina. We have

achieved this honor because of the strong maker community built by the Alamance Makers Guild, for hosting the annual Burlington Mini Maker Faire, and the fact that the Mayor and City Council of Burlington have accepted the "Mayor's Maker Challenge." On Wednesday March 4th our community came together for the fi rst ever "Alamance County Maker Roundtable," a suggested community event in the Mayor's Maker Challenge.

The Alamance Makers Guild put together and produced this half day long event. It was hosted by our friends at Holly Hill Mall and Business Center and catered by the Company Shops Market. We invited 185 community leaders and were glad to have 60 of them in attendance. Atendees included elected offi cials and staff from the city governments of Burlington, Graham, and Elon, County Commisioners, ABSS School Board Members, the President and faculty from ACC, faculty from Elon University, ABSS STEM and CTE (Career and Technical Education), the Chamber of Commerce, the Alamance

Arts Council and Artisan's Guild, Sylvan Learning Center of Burlington, small businesses, and makers from around the county. We even had a representative from US Senator Richard Burr's offi ce in attendance. They all came to learn more about the Maker Movement and how our different governments, organizations, and citizens can work together around the Maker Movement.

Members of the Alamance Makers Guild and future exhibitors for the 2015 Burlington Mini Maker Faire brought projects they've made to put on display for "show-n-tell." Items

included actual products being made in Alamance County, books published by our members, blown glass, blacksmith, and wood turning projects, Middle School "Invention Convention" items from Blessed Sacrament School, electronics and robotics, and even an eighteen foot long half scale Nike Ajax Rocket project! The makers and their projects helped get people's imaginations going and start the conversation about what is possible when you think a little differently.

The main part of the event was a presentation about the Maker Movement that explained its origins and history, talked about Maker Faire as a 21st century County Faire, and discussed what we've been doing to build community and ecosystem around the Maker Movement here. We were joined via video conference by Stephanie Santoso from the Office of Science and Technology Policy at the White House. Stephanie's title is Chief Maker Advisor of the United States. Over one hundred cities have signed up for the Mayor's Maker Challenge and Stephanie spoke to us about ways that similar sized communities are embracing the Maker Movement to launch Maker Spaces, encourage job fairs, work with libraries and schools, and create opportunities to bring back manufacturing jobs. Stephanie also offered us praise for the work that the Alamance Makers Guild has been doing here in our county.

At the end of the presentation we switched gears to an open panel discussion. Panelists included Ian Baltutis (moderator), myself, Danny Oakley of Graham (co-producer of the Burlington Mini Maker Faire), Eric Henry of TS Designs and the Company Shops Market, and Tiffany Stalek of Blessed Sacrament School of Burlington. The panel represented different aspects of the maker movement from small business to hobby to education. A focus for the panel was to challenge everyone in attendance with finding ways to work together and work with the Alamance Makers Guild for the benefit of our community.

This was a great event and I am thankful for the participation of our leaders, our community, and everyone who helped us put this together.

Cruises are a popular vacation option that appeal to travelers for a number of reasons. When on a cruise, you typically get to see

numerous cities in various countries while spending your nights aboard luxurious ships that cater to your every need.

If you have never been on a cruise before, you may not know what to look for when consider taking the cruise plunge. The following are a few pointers for travelers who need some help fi nding the right cruise to take them out to the high seas.

• Find a ship that suits your style. You don’t need to know anything about sailing or boats to fi nd a cruise that suits you. It is important that would-be cruisers know that

not all ships are the same. Some cruise ships cater to families, so singles, retirees or young married couples without children may want to avoid such ships. Before booking a cruise, check with your travel agent to ensure you fi nd a ship that will appeal to you and cater to your needs.

• Ask for recommendations. Another way to fi nd a ship that’s right for you is to ask family and friends for recommendations. Chances are, you know someone who has sailed before, and they can be an invaluable resource. Ask about their experience and if there was anything they wish they did differently or had known about before they left. They may recommend a certain cruise line or time of year to travel, and such recommendations should be taken into

consideration before you make your final decision.

• Research your lodging options. Lodging prices vary greatly, and it will no doubt prove tempting to choose the least expensive lodging option, especially if you plan to spend most of your time on deck or patrolling the ports of call. But travelers who are accustomed to five-star hotels may find cabins with no windows don’t suit their style, and that can make for a less enjoyable trip. Before booking your trip, explore your lodging options and choose a cabin you know you will be comfortable in. Your travel agent may be able to get you upgrades or better options that you can buy yourself.

• Find ports of call you want to visit. A big part of the excitement of going on a cruise is the opportunity to visit different ports and experience various cultures in a single trip. Ships will usually dock for a day at a time and allow passengers to visit different cities throughout the trip. Make a list of cities you want to visit and then choose a cruise that takes you to as many of those locations as possible.

• Ask a professional for help. Even if you receive recommendations from like-minded friends and relatives, you still may find it difficult to choose the right cruise for you. Working with a travel agent is always a good idea. Travel agents can be invaluable resources in helping you find a cruise and cruise line that best suits your needs. Agents can also help you understand any visa or passport

requirements, explain the different port fees, and other expenses that aren’t apparent before you travel. They may also be able to arrange for special perks you might not be privy to if you simply booked your trip online. Cruises make for wonderful vacations that allow travelers to explore many different cultures while enjoying breathtaking scenery. First-time cruisers can take several steps to ensure they choose the right cruise and make the most of their first time at sea.

Where is Spring????By Faylene Whitaker (Whitaker Farms)

Where is the sunshine and warm weather? Here in North Carolina during the month of March it seems Mother Nature just can’t decide if it

is still winter or spring. Here on the farm there are lots of muddy roads and the sky is gray. But there are lots of things going on the greenhouses in preparation for spring. The fl owers are being planted daily and lots of them will soon be ready to go outside. Some of the vegetables will soon be ready to eat and for that I can’t wait.There is much to be done in the garden during March so we can be ready for spring and summer. First we must clean up any broken limbs and trim any that have broken off of our trees and shrubbery. It is time to put out grass seed and fertilize if we didn’t get to that last fall. Also if you have crabgrass it is time to put out a weed preventer on the lawn.

Ornamental grasses need to be cut back now before they start putting out new growth. I really like to get my lirope (monkey grass) cut back now so I can see if some of it needs dividing. Also you want to divide perennials such as hosta, daylilies, and any others that are just beginning to come up. It is also a good time to see where you would like to incorporate bulbs such as tulips and daffodils into the landscape for next year. Remember you do not want to cut back the foliage from your bulbs once the fl owers fade because the bulb will need to feed off the foliage for next year’s blooms. It is also a good time to fertilize those pansies that were planted last fall.

How about planting some new shrubs and trees into the landscape such as the new soft caress mahonia for the shade or some drift roses for the full sun? There are so


Nature’sNuances

many beautiful shrubs and trees to plant in the yard and this is a great time of the year to plant. Go to your local garden center and see all the new plants that are just waiting to brighten up your yard. Grouping plants of the same kind can add a lot of pizzazz to an area. Hydrangeas planted in a mass is an example of how great color in an area can be. I also like to plant several of the same kinds of grasses in a large group.

Go ahead and prepare some beds for those annuals that bring great color all summer to the yard. There are so many you will just want to go to the garden center and spend time looking at all of them. If you are planting cool season vegetables such as cabbage, broccoli and lettuce now is the time to get them in the ground.

This all sounds like work but in reality it is good therapy for the body and soul. You get to enjoy what you have accom-plished. There are some plants that will do better for you and some that will do better for someone else. They are just like our children sometimes they do good and some-times not so good but we still love and enjoy them. Plants come in different sizes and colors and each of us will enjoy different ones that is how nature planned it. So don’t be discouraged if not all of them do the same they just might not have the right soil and nutrients they need in that loca-tion but if planted in another location they might do great. Sounds a little like us humans don’t it?

Enjoy your today in nature and know that it another great day God has given us on this beautiful earth of his even if it is cold and raining. The sun will soon come out shining and brightness will surround us, what a great place to live right here in the Triad area of North Carolina.


History

Burlington Was Alive with the Sound of Music

By Walter Boyd

Old Blessed Sacrament Church (former James H. Holt, Jr. house) on

West Davis Street where the Von Trapp Family attended Mass and performed in 1941.

March 2, 2015 marked the 50th anniversary of the release of The Sound of Music, one of the most beloved films of all time. Most people are aware that the movie and Broadway musical are based

on the autobiography of Maria von Trapp. Few people, however, know that the real Maria and her famous family were once in Burlington and even performed here.

Maria's life story as depicted in the movie is generally true. She was an aspiring Austrian nun who became tutor to the seven children of a widowed naval officer, Baron Georg von Trapp. She became enamored of the children and married their father (on November 26, 1937). Moreover, the family left Austria after that country was absorbed into Nazi Germany on March 12, 1938. But, beyond those basic facts,

considerable liberties were taken to make her story more appealing to theater audiences.

In particular, neither the stage-musical or movie mentions that the driving force behind the Von Trapp Family Singers was a young Catholic priest, Father Franz Wasner. Georg von Trapp had inherited a fortune from his first wife, Agathe Whitehead (whose father invented first practical self-propelled naval torpedo), upon her death in 1922, but lost it all in 1935. In an attempt to salvage her family's finances, Maria rented out rooms to students at the local university, which is how Father Wasner came to notice the Von Trapp family's singing ability. He became the family's manager, trained them to perform, and made them famous throughout the world.


Walter Boyd is the legally recognized official unofficial historian of Burlington. Boyd is a historical consultant for numerous media projects in and about Alamance County. He is also a member of the Gallery Players and has appeared in many plays at the Paramount Theatre. He is currently writing a comprehensive history of the city of Burlington.Walter Boyd

The Von Trapp family was opposed to the Nazi takeover of their homeland but did not have to fl ee for their lives. In actuality, Georg von Trapp claimed Italian citizenship for himself and his family. Therefore, in order to leave Austria, all he and his family had to do was simply board a train, which they did in September 1938. Surprisingly, due to Maria's homesickness, they returned to Austria a few months later, but soon decided to leave permanently and settle in the United States just prior to the outbreak of World War II, on September 1, 1939.

The "Trapp Family Singers," as they were called at the time, toured extensively in the United States for several years. They arrived in Burlington on Wednesday, October 22, 1941 and checked in at the Alamance Hotel on South Main Street. That evening, at 8:30 p.m. in Elon College’s Whitley Auditorium, they gave what was described as "a mostly classical concert," although some Austrian folksongs were also included. Maria, along with stepchildren Maria, Johanna, Hedwig, Agatha, Martina, Rupert, and Werner, performed under the direction of Father Franz Wasner. Although Georg von Trapp accompanied his family to Burlington, he did not perform.

The next morning, Thursday, October, 23, the Von Trapp family attended mass at Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church, which was located at the time in the former James Henry Holt, Jr. house on West Davis Street. They then gave a short concert for the students at Blessed Sacrament School, which was also located in the house. Sadly, all of the Trapp Family Singers who came to Burlington in 1941 are now gone. The last surviving child, Maria Franziska von Trapp, died in 2014 at the age of 99.

Spring is here, which means animals at the North

Carolina Zoo are on exhibit soaking up the sun,

plants at the zoo are blooming and thousands of

people from all over the state are ready to visit

the zoo to see what new attractions the State’s third

largest tourist destination has to offer in 2015.

This year at the North Carolina Zoo visitors can trek

into Dino World and explore a forest of dinosaurs like

they have never seen. The snarling, roaring replicas of a

lost era that helped set zoo attendance records in 2012

and 2013 will return with 19 animatronic prehistoric

giants, which is more dinosaurs than the zoo had in

previous years. Most of the dinosaurs are nearly 20 feet

tall. Dino World is truly an adventure for people of all

ages. Visitors who explore Dino World will discover

that some of the dinosaurs spit water, make noises and

are robotic, which gives zoo visitors the opportunity to

make some of the creatures move.

ZOOZeal

Trek into Dino World and

experience several events at

the North Carolina Zoo in 2015


“Walking along the path and among

the animatronic dinosaurs lets our

guests travel back in time to see

what these prehistoric animals might

have looked and sounded like,” said

Steve Gerkin, Programs Coordinator

at the N.C. Zoo. “Guests can also

discover about fossil formation,

the tools of a paleontologist, and

where they can find fossils in North

Carolina.”

Some of the creatures in Dino

World include Diabloceratops,

Dilophosaurus, Tyrannosaurs rex,

Allosaurus and Iguandon. Once

visitors are done with being wowed

by large animatronic dinosaurs, they

can meet and take pictures with a

“live” 14 foot long Tyrannosaurs rex,

which walks and is handled by his

paleontologist. While in Dino World,

kids can get their hands dirty and

dig for fossils.

“The fossil dig site provides kids

an opportunity to become a

paleontologist for a bit, actively

digging for buried fossils that they

can take home”, added Gerkin. “It

is always great to see their faces

light up when they make that special

discovery.”

In 2012, nearly 240,000 people,

representing more than 35 percent

of the zoo visitors, toured the

Dinosaurs exhibit between April and

November. With the movie Jurassic

World coming out in June, the

return of dinosaurs at the zoo will

surely give zoo visitors something to

roar about. Zoo visitors have until

Oct. 31 to explore Dino World.

Burlington Magazine, Issue 1630

I would start this off with, “kids these days”, but one of my pet peeves is the constant bombardment of kids with the thought that it is solely this generation that has

problems. No, teenagers have been rowdy little miscreants since the dawn of time, and will forever continue to be. Yes, new problems arise as time goes on, just as old ones settle in the dust. I don’t think anyone has problems with their daughters running off with pirates anymore. (Was that ever a real problem or was Pirates of the Caribbean not as historically accurate as I was lead to believe?)

One particular “problem” (depends on how you look at it) that I feel has held true through centuries of teenagery, is trends. The weird thing is, it seems trends are focused less in

fashion, and more so in one’s persona. Forget about leather pants and corsets, people are going further. It’s about what you do and say and like and think that makes you cool, not just what you put on your body. This would be ground breaking and awesome, if authentic thoughts and actions were considered cool. Sadly, it’s only the

people that fi t the most interesting mold that receive attention.

Right now, there are two major personality types I see as trendy: the earthy-mother hippie, and the punk rock urban girl. If you’ve missed these trends, you can take a trip to a park where you may see three friends in baggy pants and Boho sandals, sitting under a tree on an Aztec blanket with some fruit and an iPhone, trying to recreate the latest “Adventure” post they just saw on Tumblr. Or perhaps to an art museum or library, where you might fi nd a young girl with messy hair and a fl annel, drinking some sugary ‘coffee’ and taking pictures of her book with her camera. No honey, you can read the book at home, you

don’t need digital photos of it.

It seems ridiculous to me how much effort goes into being what’s fascinating. It seems ridiculous, but I won’t say I’m immune to it. I have a fake septum ring for Christ’s sake. People (it’s not just girls) feel the need to be what they admire. It’s often forgotten that there is value in observing and respecting things different than one’s self, and leaving it at that. I fi nd mountains enchanting, yet I have no desire to be a mountain. I don’t want someone shovin’ dynamite in my sides. I think people that do yoga are admirable and peaceful, god knows I will never be a yoga instructor; I’m too aggressive. I said breathe deep and touch your fi ngers to your toes. That was half a breath and you’re clawing at your shins. Get fl exible or get out, Grandpa!

It’s not that I don’t fi nd bad ass girls and little pixies awesome; they most defi nitely are. My problem is with the girls that would rather be at Starbucks surfi ng twitter, and who are recreating themselves as something they’re not. I also have no problem with the girls at Starbucks on Twitter. Whatever makes you happy, do that. I just think it’s important to let go of trying to convince everyone you’re cool, and instead, be cool. Let your image be your own. I will tell you right now that as much as I wish I was cool enough to appreciate the classics, I do not enjoy reading Ernest Hemingway. I am a sucker for John Green. I am not ashamed.

Accept every aspect of yourself, whether it be socially acceptable, or not. It’s all going to be in style at some point in time, and it’s all going to be out of style too.

Kate is a 16-years-old aspiring writer. She believes in taking risks, adventure and drinking unhealthy amounts of cof-fee. “Embracing feelings is important. Humor is neces-sary. Discussion is beautiful. I’m always looking for some inspiration. For now. Enjoy my messy thoughts.”

“My dream of becoming a defense attorney began with watching TV’s Matlock when I was just a kid. But that goal fizzled when I dropped out of high school to help my family’s finances with whatever jobs I could find. ACC’s Adult High School program was crucial in earning my diploma and a way to better jobs. Next I worked toward an associate’s degree and was accepted into C-STEP, a transfer program offered by ACC that put me on track to go to Carolina. Even while working and taking care of my family, I began to dream bigger and decided on the law as a career. It was tough but ACC prepared me well when I moved on to UNC and its School of Law. I interned in the Orange County D.A.’s Office and tried more than 35 cases. With law degree in hand, I started a new job as a defense attorney with a firm in Morehead City. I’m fulfilling my dream and ACC played a big role in getting me there.”
