FSC Freshman Women Rock

What a day September 18 was this year!! First I'm another year older...yippee....not to many women my age celebrate those numbers going up but for me.......well I don't think I have to say much about that.
Yesterday was slammed! We had HIV testing in the afternoon and a Friends-Together meeting too. But at 7 last night all the first year women, their RA's, several female student life staff and myself gathered in one room.......that's over 300 females and NO males. The energy was amazing. I started by talking about sexual responsibility, then we opened it and talked about the things women need to be able to talk about.
I will say I was a little concerned....OK a lot concerned at the number of young ladies who hadn't ever seen a gynecologist in their life and the numbers who have no idea how to do a self breast exam........it was a little scary but now that I know I will be on that like white on rice.
If you are at FSC we will be having a ladies self check night in October and I hope the room is packed!
I will be leaving for NJ on Sunday. I will be in Newark for a week working on some of my certifications. I must say I am looking forward to some cool weather.
All the best!
