Blog 1 Rachel DeMarco




                                                                          Rachel DeMarco

            My name is Rachel DeMarco. I am an eighteen year old from Middleton, Massachusetts.  Middleton is a small town of nine thousand people about twenty miles north of Boston. I currently attend classes here at Nichols College as a freshman. I have not yet chosen a major but I am very interested in math, education, and also hospitality management. I am one of three sisters and live with my parents in a modest colonial home. Both of my sisters are in high school. Emily is a freshman and does cheering and dance. Jessica is a junior and does club and high school gymnastics. I have always had an interest in gymnastics and cheerleading. At a very young age Jess and I joined the Yellow Jackets Gymnastics Club. This was our home gym for high school gymnastics meets and club gymnastics. We have spent many hours over the years working out at that gym. Luckily, Nichols College has a cheerleading team so I can continue with one of my enjoyable hobbies and be able to do a sport in college. This year our Nichols College cheerleading team is going to Daytona, Florida for Nationals. We have all been working really hard fundraising for the trip and have had many practices to work on our routine. I hope we do well competition wise, but I am also very excited to hangout on the beach with my team! Not only do I put my hard work into sports, but I also had two jobs this summer that kept be busy. I worked in Danvers for a company called SwerevePoint. The awesome part of this job was that I worked with my best friend, Maria. We sat together in an office and filed papers and sent out checks. We also did a lot of larger projects for the company. My second job was babysitting. I watched three younger kids, two of which were also a part of the gym I went to. They always kept me busy. From this digital applications class, I hope to learn and become more familiar with modern technology. I am also looking forward to learning how to be able to create multimedia movies. In searching for a credible blog I came across a blog about Beyonce singing at the Presidents Inauguration. I found this very interesting because there was so much talk about how fantastic she was, and she is one of my favorite artists. Come to find out as noted in The Washingtonian, she was not singing live at all. The Star Spangled Banner was prerecorded a day earlier and she lip- synced the song. She will also be singing at the Super Bowl. It will be interesting to see what she doing there. I found this blog credible because this story was all over the news and confirmed by many news stations.

Cheering!

  1. I am also from a small town in Massachusetts called Milton, it is small with about 8,000 residents who live in it. I like it a lot because everyone knows everyone there and you make a lot of close friends by living here as well. As you know, I am interested in cheerleading as well and I am excited to hear all about how you guys do in competition and I wish all of you the best of luck! I find it funny how many students here are past, or former cheerleaders, it seems like almost everyone I talk to they used to cheerlead as well. I don't have any brothers or sisters so you are very lucky to have two of them, I have always wanted a sister like all my friends have, and they are very close to them. I worked a job this summer too so it is nice to see that you are interested in working, because I am too. We also share a common interest in Beyonce, she is one of my favorite artists too and I saw her perform at the inauguration as well and I thought she did a fantastic job. Reading your blog was fun, and I got to learn a lot about you and come to realize that we have a lot in common!
