About Me

Hello everyone! I am Heidi Moser and I am a freshman here at Hardin Simmons University. I traveled all the way from Las Vegas, Nevada to attend school here in Abilene, Texas. Many of you might be wondering why I chose this small town over Las Vegas. I am here because Coach Bart Craig called me and told me about the amazing opportunities that this town has to offer. I couldn't pass up his this opportunity so I decided to pack my bags and come play golf for him at HSU. I had to leave a lot back home to be able to come here but so far I think that it was worth it. Back home I lived with my parents and my little brother. My brother is 15 years old, and is currently a freshman in high school. Most of my family is from a small town in Nebraska called Grand Island, however i have one pair of grandparents that live in Las Vegas with us. We have two puppy Yorkie Terriers named Bogey and Ace (these are golf terms that are complete opposites just like their personalities). It has been very hard leaving my family and my pets, but I have met friends in Abilene that are just like me family. In Las Vegas I love to spend time with my family on the golf course. After a long week of school the golf course is the best place to go and relax. I have chosen to major in Exercise Science with a goal of becoming a Physical Therapist. I have always had a passion of working with children with special needs. One child in particular helped me realize this, his name is Ethan. I met Ethan through my church where I love to spend my free time volunteering with the little kids. I believe that Ethan was put into my life to help me just as much has I can help him.

    You are a great blogger Haidi! Beautiful family by the way. Your passion and goals for future being driven by a personal experience and knowing your strengths is commendable. Coming to a school miles away from "home" is not easy, I know (been there myself), but I am sure this pursuit will be all worth it. Glad to have you here!

    I can't imagine the cultural change of coming from Las Vegas to the much smaller town of Abilene. However, what an amazing opportunity to play golf here! HSU is basically like a family. There are great people here and you definitely chose a great school! Best of luck to you.

    I love the names of your dogs! I play a lot of Disc Golf, so I see a lot of Bogies and Aces! What is Las Vegas like, compared to Abilene?

      Las Vegas is more of a desert area landscape wise. People from Abilene think that this is the desert, however I think that there are so many trees here! Also everyone is really nice here the people in Vegas can be very rude and closed off. So far I love Texas!

    Hey Heidi, it's cool that I have a fellow Team Perry member in my online class. I think it is cool that you are from Las Vegas and exciting that you decided to make it out here to Texas. I wish the best for you during golf season and I can't wait to hear about how you do. Good Luck!

Grandma Great

For this activity about personality I decided to analyze my Great Grandmother.  I titled this Grandma Great because that is what I and all my cousins have always called her.  If I could think of one word that would describe my Grandma it would be nurturing.  In the concept nature vs nurture my grandmother is all nurture.  When I go visit her and stay at her house the first thing she does for me when I wake up is make me my favorite pancakes, homemade.  Her priority is to make everyone happy.  My Grandmother is about to celebrate her 95th birthday this November.  I have known her for 18 years and her personality has never changed.  She has always been the some Grandmother who puts others before herself and who makes everyone happy when she tells her stories from her childhood.  I love finding out new things about my Grandma from her old stories that she tells me about out family.  Using Eysenck's personality theory I see my Grandmother as...

For this blog I decided to interview two of my family members who suffer from anxiety and depression.  At first I was very nervous to ask my family members to help me with this school assignment because it is very hard to word things the right way to people who suffer from these illnesses.  However, my family was very accommodating and they were able to answer all of the questions that I had.  I have decided not to use names or pictures, but I decided to interview my mom and my uncle.  At the end of these interviews I learned a lot and gained a lot of respect for my mom and uncle. I interviewed my mom first.  She has clinical anxiety and has been overcoming it for over 20 years.  When she experiences a panic attack it mostly happens earn she doesn't have control over a situation. During these attacks she breathes really heavily.  Most of the time she is very good at calming herself down, however it is a lot easier for her to do this if people around ...
