Lake Sam Rayburn is My Favorite Place


(Sam Rayburn Reservoir: Wiki)

When I think about my childhood, I think about going to my grandparent's house. My grandparents lived on lake Sam Rayburn in Brookeland, Texas. They had a huge backyard that backed up to the lake with a koi fish pond and a vegetable garden.

I learned how to swim, how to fish, how to drive a car and how to be a big sister at lake Sam Rayburn. I also learned how to kayak which is something that I still love to do. Growing up around the lake and at my grandparents house didn't only teach me how to do all of those activities it also turned me into the person I am today.

Unfortunately, my grandparents no longer live on lake Sam Rayburn but I will always have those memories at the lake surrounded by my family.

    Oh, how great, Chelsea! I know who Sam Rayburn was, but I did not know he had a lake named after him. What a beautiful legacy! Thank you for sharing that and these lovely pictures!

    Hi Chelsea! That is a beautiful picture that you have chosen to depict the Sam Rayburn Lake. Your photo of you and your dad is also super precious! I like that your favorite place connects to memories from your childhood and your major milestones. Would you still go back to visit every now and then even though your grandparents don’t live there anymore?

    Chelsea, I adore the pictures you shared. The one of you and your dad fishing is so cute and the one from 2005 is precious as well. Honestly, I don't think you've changed much! :) The picture of the water at Sam Rayburn is also gorgeous, I can see why you chose it as your favorite place. The water looks like glass!

Introduction to a PR Student

Hi, my name is Chelsea Journee and I am from The Woodlands, Texas. The Woodlands is about 30 minutes north of Houston, Texas. My family and I have lived in the same house my entire life so it was a big change for me when I decided to go to college in a different state. I am currently a first semester senior (by hours) at OU. I am studying public relations and my minor is general business. On campus I am pretty involved. I am in a social sorority, I am an account manager for Lindsey + Asp (OU's student-run PR and ad agency) and I am also the treasurer for PRSSA (Public Relations Student Society of America). (Personal Photo: My sorority family) (Personal Photo: PRSSA executive leadership outside of Gaylord Hall) I enjoy lounging around with my dogs while watching Netflix in my free-time. My dog's names are Jasper and Snickers. Jasper is a miniature dashchund that loves to lay in anyone's lap and we don't really know what Snickers is because we rescued her...

Kunti was left with a child from the sun god. Kunti knew that the child was destined for greatness. She placed the child in a basket and put it in the river. Kunti's son with the sun god was a secret. No one knew about it not even her husband, the king. One day Pandu was hunting with his bow and accidentally shot and killed a couple. Before the man died he cursed Pandu and said that the second be would be come intimate with a woman something terrible would happen.
