The CK Daily – Weekend of Miracles
Good morning and Happy Thursday!
This past weekend started off with a special event for me! UGA held its very first annual Family Weekend, and for families that participated there was a “Very Important Bulldogs” brunch. They go to hear from guest speakers, tour the football lockers rooms, take pictures with the national championship trophies, and even see the field up close! I got to attend as a representative for UGA Miracle (which I’ve talked a lot about here!), and my boyfriend was one of the speakers. He got to tell the families about Miracle and his story with it, while I was there for any questions that people had during the ‘mingle’ time. It’s always special to hear him share his story, and I think the families really enjoyed it too.
After that early morning, we went home and spent the rest of the day getting some schoolwork done and preparing for Miracle’s big fundraising push, which kicked off last night! The theme for this one is “Beyond Limits,” and we spent a good hour or so setting up emails, social media posts, and all our fundraising materials. It took a while, but I’m so excited to see the total tonight when we do the reveal! My goal for this push is to raise $1,000, which is a little intimidating but I’m feeling motivated and hopeful to hit it.
The rest of the weekend was a productive one filled with errands, chores, and meal prepping to get ready for the week ahead. Since then, it’s been nonstop Miracle events! From our general body meeting on Tuesday, to our fundraising kickoff last night, and our “hype room” today, it’s been busy! But it’s the best kind of busy, because I know everything I’m doing makes a real difference in kids’ lives.
I’m planning to finish this week strong with our push, and I hope your weekend ahead is restful and just as rewarding in your own way!

Learning Center Article – SAS vs SATA Drivers in Servers: Which is Better?
If you have a server, it needs storage drives. Whether you are using hard drives, solid-state drives, NVMe drives, or another storage medium, those drives need the ability to communicate with the rest of the system. For that communication, you have a multitude of connection types. When it comes to server systems, the two most prominent connections are SAS and SATA. Which is better for your server? That depends on how you intend to use it. We can take a closer look at SAS and SATA to see when one might outperform the other.
