Laura WandW, 22

Atlanta, United States

Website

Bio

Hey people! My name is Laura, and I am a freshman at TULANE UNIVERSITY in New Orleans, LA. So excited. I love working with the city to make it a better place! I also am a SERVICE NERD.....all I ever read/do/think about doing is related to making the world a better place. After all, I think I figured out that's the meaning of life :)

Ahem, important stuff: I am the Executive Director of Wild and Water Swimming, a nonprofit organization that provides swim lessons for children who would otherwise not be able to afford them. We have served 181 kids as of 7/21/2008 and we'll be expanding beyond the Atlanta area to New Orleans (in September 2008) and Pensacola, FL and Mobile, AL (2009). Our mission is to provide swim lessons for kids who would otherwise not have the opportunity to benefit from them while engaging these children in a healthy activity in a safe environment with positive role models. In my opinion, WW is ESPECIALLY cool because we target a group that is typically not asked to serve...competitve athletes...and recruit them as volunteers.

I have always been more prone to buy mbt shoes clearance my dad liked them so much. H 7.24 Glad I tried something new for a change mbt kisumu 2.I wear this to work in - office casual - and with mbt sapatu. Takes about a week mbt baridi or two to break in for the perfect fit. Not that mbt fumba they cause blisters or anything right out of the box but that two weeks makes mbt salama perfect.Had my last pair of mbt unono for 9 years. They have been all mbt panda around the world and held up with very little maintenance. I hope mbt staka this new pair will have the same high quality durability, mbt imara comfort and mbt ema yes, great looks!
