Hollllllaaaaaa

so, I'm what they call a "leadership consultant" for the Martha Guy Summer Institute right now. MGSI is basically a three-week program for High School seniors who are interested in the world of Business where they will create a business plan while learning about topics like accounting and marketing and finance, etc.

1. I don't necessarily feel like this is work. I am having a blast.

we have gone to Lowe's Motor Speedway (took a few laps around the track)
we visited Hendrick Motor Sports, where an ASU alum is the CFO (got a tour inside the garage, something the general public is not allowed to do)
we went white-water rafting on the Watauga River
we chilled on top of Grandfather Mountain
etc. etc. (Valle Crucis Park, Hebron, things that Boone has that your town doesn't)

They actually are doing work, too, but still, this is sick. We haven't even gone to NYC or DC yet. (Mets game, Broadway, etc.)

2. High school kids have changed alot in the last 3 years.

this is not necessarily a bad thing, it's just really different.
that said, i absolutely love hanging out with them. they're a blast.

3. i have been reminded just how much i love my school and my major.

seeing these kids learn the basics has been probably just as valuable for me as it has been for them. it just has provided me with a fresh perspective and passion for what i do.






i could say so much more but i haven't the time. i will say this: appreciate the people God has put in your life. love them and cherish them, for the good and the bad.
