Mr. Sean's 2010s Recap

Another decade has flown by. Luckily I've been able to hold on and enjoy the ride. Here are ten things that I think are worth highlighting in the past decade of my life.

2010

Tooth of Time, Philmont Scout Ranch, New Mexico

In 2010, I finally got to go back out west with fellow scouts by taking a trek through the Philmont Scout Ranch. There is a sentence that has been stuck in my head ever since the Philmont Rangers said it, "I! Wanna go back to Philmont! Wanna go back... to Philmont!"

2011

Manhattan Skyline

With fellow Meade High musicians, I got to finally visit New York City for the first time ever. I saw How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, then starring Daniel Radcliffe, and Company then starring Neil Patrick Harris, Stephen Colbert, and Yellow Diamo... I mean Patti LuPone (for those who don't know, Patti LuPone voiced the character Yellow Diamond in Steven Universe, a cartoon that aired on Cartoon Network). I only wish that the trip was a little longer as I was exhausted after the trip with little time to rest.

2012

La Tour Eiffel

In late June and early July, I was in Paris with my dad, my french teacher Monsieur O'Neill, and fellow French students.  I ate a lot of delicious French food, saw Versailles, was near the top of the Eiffel Tower and saw my favorite teacher ever Ms. Vlach!

2013

Me taking a crazy selfie

I went on my first missions trip in 2013. It happened to be in Charlotte, NC and was my first time on a roof, the group I was with was re-shingling a roof. Before the hard work, the youth pastor I've known for a long time had a day at Carowinds scheduled. My aunt Tiffany and cousins Michaela and Jessica visited Carowinds and I had a fun day spending time with family. At the end of the week my group celebrated with Cookout milkshakes and I had to get more than that as Cookout has a lot of tasty food.

2014

A double rainbow at Millersville University

This picture serves as an affirmation at my decision to pursue a meteorology degree. Also this picture serves to remind me of the memories made of my freshman year and the friends I made that year and the awesome people such as then Peer Mentor Chelsey and RA Tori.

2015

Somewhere in the Appalachian Mountains

In 2015 I went out west, but not to what I call the west, rather it was to West Virginia and more specifically the New River Gorge. I walked across the bridge, hiked up some of the hills, and ate good food such as pizza. It was a short vacation, but it was still enjoyable.

2016

Crawfish and Tasso Pasta

Although this happened right after New Year's 2016, the highlight of the year was going down to New Orleans for the American Meteorological Society annual conference. My only regret was not eating enough of the local cuisine as there was a mall with a food court next to the convention center and little time for lunch. The University of Oklahoma had a party in the area and I managed to get the crowd to cheer the band for a final encore one night.

2017

Abstract Algebra and some brain food

I didn't have an event with much pizzazz happen in 2017 but this photo represents a time when I was very happy with things. Mall Chinese food (they had good BBQ Pork) and Abstract Algebra (taught by Dr. Ikenaga) were a good combination of things. Maybe I should study some more Abstract Algebra in 2020?

2018

Amber Liggett and myself, Millersville Commencement 2018

I made it! Thanks to good friends such as Amber and all my meteorology friends, I graduated from Millersville University with a degree in Meteorology and Mathematics. Though I do wish time didn't go so fast so I could have spent what would feel like more time with my met friends.

2019

1st Place in my age group at a 5K run

2019 was the year of the successfully ran 5K race as it was the first year I finished a 5K race without walking once. The pictured medal came from a near to me race where all the funds raised were put toward obtaining wreaths to participate in Wreaths Across America, an initiative where the ultimate goal is to have a wreath placed at every gravestone of American service members at the various veterans cemeteries. The largest event taking place at Arlington National Cemetery. This race was to raise funds for wreaths to be placed at the Maryland Veterans Cemetery in 2019.
