Wooooaaaahhh!!!!!!
Probably not going to sleep one minute the week before Kaleo starts because I’m so excited on meeting and learning with everyone!!! My name is Alisha Penner, I live in Richmond (near Vancouver) with my two little sisters, parents, and our weird budgie... I have a thing for peaky waves and snowy mountains which usually takes me interesting places. Valedictory was last night. Yeaa!

2012... Oh the Anticipation!!
I don't know about you, but every time I think about what this year has the potential to be I get little shivers, and butterflies in my stomach! I can't wait to meet you all and to grow with you over this next year - it's going to be rad!!
Just like everybody else, I'm stopping by at the Kaléo 2012 Blog to introduce myself. My name is Bec Rodda, and I shall be one of your interns for this coming year (specifically your female intern, if that needed any clarification!) I was born and raised in Australia but have spent the better part of the past 5 years in North America working at summer camps. I have previously worked 2 summers here at Qwanoes - 2008 & 2009 - my first summer as a Senior Counselor and then my second as the Staffing Assistant. I have also done a few summer at a camp down in Florida as a counselor too. This summer I shall be returning to Qwanoes to assist all present as the Staff Concierge before joining you all for the Kaléo program.
I have spent the past year and a half at home in Australia spending time with my family (I have a brand new baby niece that I'm very sad to leave) and studying Minstry, Theology and Culture at a local Bible College here in Adelaide. I'm yet to graduate with anything, but am absolutely loving what I've been learning and am super keen for you guys to get stuck into some classes too.
About a year or two ago, there was a faze on Facebook in which everybody was encouraged to write 25 random facts about themselves in a note and tag their friends in it, in the hopes that their friends would also write random facts about themselves. I'm now going to dust of that little gem of an idea and share 10 (I thought 25 might be a little too much) fun-facts that you will come to know about Bec anyway.
1) I'm pretty much always cold.
2) I've never had to go to the bathroom in the great outdoors before.
3) I love to drive things. I have my car, boat and motorcycle licenses.
4) I hate tubing - it scares the snot out of me.
5) I have a strange/strong fondness for love songs
6) I dream of one day trekking through Egypt, Jordan, Israel, Syria, Cyprus and Turkey
7) I'm a tea drinker - Coffee makes me feel sick
8) I LOVE Thrift Store shopping
9) I hate being late
10) I'm more of a morning person than I am a night person
So that's just a very small glimpse into me. I'm very much looking forward to getting to know all of the random little facts that make up each of you. Please feel free to share as many, or as few as you want here on the blog so we can all get to know each other better.
I truly can't wait to meet you all. Until then... I pray that you will have a truly blessed summer.
Peace.
Bec
