I once again find myself in Denver, in my dorm room (a little more home looking this time), and with an incredible group of people. Its strange how so much can be the same, and yet can also feel so different. I'm trying not to compare this year to last year. To not compare people from this class to last. I'm trying to start over an experience I have already been through which is a strange feeling. I'm excited to get to be a part of Class 18, and to see how this group of TL's forms together. I'm also trying to establish more of a real life for myself this year. Attempting to do things not always involving the "A", and slowly adjust to maybe not being with at least 10 other people all the time. This is not an easy task for me. I'm someone who thrives in community. Someone who easily gives all of themselves to a particular group or experience. This year, I want to balance that with also giving to myself. I hope to be able to take what I have learned from last year and be better this year. I hope to remember my adventures and people from last year but move forward with new ones for this year. Here is to another year representing AmeriCorps NCCC, and getting to be a part of a incredible team of green shirts. Its only the beginning, but the places, and people we are going to effect will move us through this year faster than we think.
