The Adventures Continue...

If I had to describe the last few months iwith one word, it would be "transition".

I have gone from:

-Sin City to the Mile High City
-desert life to mountains
-"teacher" to "student"
-decent salary to poor college student
-lots of roommates to one who is often gone
-school in the 'hood to a school with buildings that look straight out of Hogwarts.
-Studying "reading, writing, rithmetic" to studying International Disaster Psychology

It has been quite a change, but I am really liking this new adventure. Luckily I've still been able to find ways to keep my love for the inner-city life alive. I intern at a women and children's day center downtown. It's an amazing facility that focuses on connecting clients with the needed services and support in order to help them become more self-sufficient. The people there are absolutely some of the most amazing and strong women and kids I know. (And the shelter makes the most delicious food. Could you ask for a better internship?)

I've also started volunteering at a charter school whose populations is made up of refugee children from all over the world. Once a week I get to go help kids from various countries like Nepal, Tibet, Burma, and various countries in Africa learn to read. Again, I am so grateful for the chance to meet some of the world's most amazing and strong people.

I can't wait to see what other things Denver has to offer!
