Hey guys! Sorry for the long disappearance... It's been really crazy trying to get back in the hang of the new school schedule and whatnot. This past week I got to have to greatest pleasure to spend three days with the most amazing 5th graders ever. I got to be a high school leader for their outdoor ed and it was so much fun! Spending three days in the outdoors without any access to technology really gives you something to think about. Outdoor Ed was in Larkspur, and the camp overlooked a gorgeous view of the hills and mountains in Colorado. It's these kind of moments and scenes that really make one stop and reflect on life and all its beauty. Besides the gorgeous scenery I also got to meet the coolest 5th graders and the coolest high schoolers. We all got along so well and it was really great how well we all put our best foot forward for the kids, regardless of how exhausted and unenthusiastic we were.
For those of you who have seen the musical Wicked, first off good for you! You've seen one of my most favorite musicals and secondly, you probably know the song For Good (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQJaZO2nfGg). This song happens to be one of my favorite songs partly because it relates to everyone in one way or another. It's true, we meet the people we do for a specific reason and they all teach us something that we can learn from. Because I went to help out at outdoor ed, I got to meet the most amazing people and create some great memories. I grew so much in these last three days, I got to experience the outdoors in ways that I never have and I got to help out 5th graders who really respected me. So, if you're reading this, I challenge you to take a moment and reflect on the people that you have met and think back to how you met them and the kind of impact they have made on your life. If they are still prominent in your life, then try to imagine what your life would be like without them. There are hundreds of people in my life that have totally changed my life around. Thank you to all of you who have impacted my life. Regret nothing.
Something new I'm going to try, there's this awesome project my art teacher told me about. It's called Project 365 (http://content.photojojo.com/tutorials/project-365-take-a-photo-a-day/), everyday I'm going to take one photo. You've all heard that a picture is worth a thousand words, I'm going to create a 365-thousand word blog. :)
