Today marks the end of another beginning for me. Yesterday was our last day of training at headquarters in Indianapolis, Indiana, and although learning everything that we did made for extremely long days, it is crazy to think I have been here for a month. Here are some highlights from my time here...
Our raft building excursion at Bradford Woods!
This was just our second day together!
But, we did it!! And that was the experience that made us become a team...
Mid basketball court at Butler University in Indy!
The New Kids on the Block & Backstreet Boys (NKOTBSB) concert!
And even though I have a big girl job now, it was great to feel like I was in fourth grade again!
My picture for the year - soon to be found on the Kappa Alpha Theta website! Don't worry though, the suitcase I'll be living out of is much bigger than that!
Full-time travelers for the year - Me, Katharine & Madison!
We love our Theta kites! "Kiting" our wonderful boss, Jenni.
The 2011-2012 Kappa Alpha Theta Educational Leadership Consultants!
And, just like that, somewhere between my first day here and right now, I became an ELC. I don't remember the moment and I know I still have A LOT to learn, but I'm starting to realize that I'm going to be okay, which is an amazing thing considering how overwhelming this month has been! So admist all the packing and goodbyes (only for now, of course), I feel truly blessed... to have this opportunity, to have SUCH an amazing support system that I will never understand what I did to deserve, and just to have my life. For the first time in a long time, I feel like I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be and I'm surrounded by the people that I was always meant to find.
So my travels begin tomorrow... I am headed to the Beta Delta chapter of Kappa Alpha Theta at the University of Arizona! Thankfully, my dear friend, Madison Motley, will be there with me (we get a buddy for our first visit!), and our other ELC friend, Lindsey Witt is a recent graduate from this chapter as well, which should make for a wonderful start to the year... But as for today, Madison and I will be enjoying some much needed relaxation and a date night together in Indianapolis!
My favorite thing I heard this month:
"You don't have to be a 'person of influence' to be influential. In fact, the most influential people in my life are probably not even aware of the things they've taught me." -Scott Adams
I'm taking everyone I love with me on the road...
Love from Indy for the last time until December!
