At 3am on tomorrow morning the journey begins. Isabel and I will be driving to Jonesville, Virginia to begin our two weeks of training. From Milwaukee, it is about a 10 hour drive, and let's pray that there is minimal construction! But now the car is packed and fueled, and the energy drinks are purchased. Until today, the whole idea of being a summer staffer for ASP was a bit surreal, but once everything was packed I almost feel ready.
I received an email yesterday regarding my position for the summer. I was chosen as the volunteer coordinator and I couldn't be more excited! As a volunteer coordinator, I will work closely with a contact person from each volunteer group that will come to my given center this summer. I will help them prepare for the trip and let them know what type of work they will be doing the week that they will be coming. I feel very fortunate to have the job of working so closely with the volunteers this summer!
I will continue to post about the amazing people I will meet, as well as where I will be for the remainder of the summer after training. We are suppose to find out the counties we will be stationed in over Memorial Day weekend. And it can't come soon enough, I'm dying to know where I will be!
I would again like to thank everyone that has been a part of my ASP experience thus far, because you all are the reason this trip is so meaningful to me. I will miss my family and friends this summer, but you are always in my prayers and my heart, and I will be as active as possible on this blog as well as facebook.
Peace,
