I am currently volunteering at the hospital, and when my dad told me about Crista-bragstopping in the OR for a tour, I immediately jumped at the idea!  I even got to get a glimpse of my dad and uncle Michael performing surgery.  My friend and I got to wear our very own scrubs, and we had a blast walking around and learning how it all works.  I have a big interest in the medical field, so I would definitely do this again!

We faced our fears and went on the Dragster, an insane roller coaster at Cedar Point in Ohio. If anyone is looking to experience the most extreme thrill in their life, go to Cedar Point and ride the Dragster!
