The Cat Days of Summer

I must be getting older, because every time I turn around I'm shocked by how quickly the time has gone. When I first started school in September, it seemed like I would never make it until the end of first year, and now my break is almost over! Seriously, where does the time go? I've spent my break working (much more than I thought I would be) full-time at my local eye clinic.

Well Hello Everyone!

This is my first ever post on the SCO Student Life Blog and I am very excited to share my thoughts! So, let’s get right to it! My name is Will Stringer and I am now a second year student at SCO. I grew up in Daphne, Alabama in the Gulf Coast area of south Alabama. Not familiar with the town? You’ve probably passed through it dozens of times on your way to the beaches of Alabama and Florida. It is a wonderful place to live and I can’t wait to move back to the area after graduating from... Read More
