Very excited to get started on Monday. The students seem very dedicated to the next two weeks, for which I admire them greatly. Every one of them has a very big heart. Though I work with a lot students in a service capacity, I can sense already that this will be a special bunch for me. 

From a personal standpoint, this is something I’ve hoped for years I’d get the chance to do. I keep wondering if it’s real! From a professional standpoint, I’m sure I will grow in some way or another from this experience; from the challenges and rewards that are soon to come…
