Orientation day!!

So this is my first ever blog! I'm not really sure how this works I'm still trying to figure it all out but I'm excited to have one! It makes me feel very computer savvy =) Also, just a heads up I am a horrible typer so just an advanced warning for the millions of typos that will soon probably follow in my future blogs so just be prepared! Anyways, I had the orientation with all the other newbies on Saturday and I was, I have to admit, a little nervous. I wasn't sure what to expect, I was afraid I was going to be in over my head and of no use but that seemed just the opposite! Once we met into our individual groups I got to know everyone a little better and it seems we all have something unique to bring to the table to make us stronger than ever. I found that really exciting that I was in a group of people that all had such different experiences and backgrounds but we were all gathered for a common purpose. I can't wait to actually begin the internship and I really already feel a part of a team. In the orientation it was so interesting to finally meet everyone and I hope we all become very close. What I particularly enjoyed was remembering why we were all gathered there. This program is so much more than just gaining work experience or knowledge in our specific area. It is truly about helping these refugees and I am so thrilled to be a part of something so inspiring! I just want to say thanks to everyone for allowing me into this internship and I cannot wait for what lies ahead and all of the amazing things we are going to be doing for these people. Well, that's all for now!

Until next time,

Kacey Cherry
