No Place I Would Rather Be

After having worked the last two days in the swamps along side some of the most knowledgeable and interesting young adults I have met in quite some time, there is only one word that comes to my mind. (No, it is not cornbread.) This word happens to be respect. Each person on this team is incredibly passionate about what we are doing. The passion of each individual seems to circulate within the group, igniting and energizing the team as a whole. This I believe, is what makes this team so unique. Each of us could be lounging pool side in California, enjoying Spring Break. Instead, we are crawling through blackberry bushes, allowing ourselves to be bait for the mosquitos, and lets not forget, mastering our machete skills simply because we care. I have the utmost respect for the amount of effort each member has contributed and feel honored to be a part of this team.
