Hello everyone! Katie here, with another excited post about how amped we are to be heading to Haiti in only 34 days! I seriously can't believe it.I really am interested to get back this year and see how things have changed and reconnect with the great friends we made in May. This time, I also feel like we will be able to see such a greater difference in the impact that we can make on our trip because, like Nick said: we have a focus! And I am seriously so motivated and anxious and inspired and nervous that sometimes I don't even know what to do with myself. To be honest, though, as nervous as I am about being able to give our community partners the absolute best - which they deserve - I have such complete faith in our team this year that I know we will do really well.
I always find myself looking forward to our weekly meetings, knowing that Taylor will have something sassy to say or Kylee will have a great story to tell, and I've realized that that's what alternative breaks are about too: You serve a community and that service does something for you, but you're also a part of a team that's growing and becoming closer and stronger with every day. The team is the greatest asset that I'll have when I'll be in Haiti. I know there will always be someone with a great idea, or the new plan, or even just a funny comment or a "hand to hold" (cough, Billy, cough), and I couldn't be happier to be heading to Haiti with a group of the best people I've had the privilege to meet here at W&M.
As I sign off every team email (every one of the 10,000 I send):
HaitiLove,
Katie
