I have survived Month 1 of being a Milwaukean! It's been such a crazy couple of weeks, full of learning, meeting and greeting, laughing, sharing, crying, listening, Unity Rally-ing, hugging, venting, and questioning. It's been exhausting, but it's been awesome. I am proudly serving as a CY Corps Member at Hopkins Lloyd, and I FINALLY got to meet my kids yesterday. We got off to a rough start due to some technical difficulties, but by the end of the day things were much better, and I didn't want to say goodbye!
Today we had our second official Unity Rally down by the Calatrava and the Sunburst sculpture, and then a day at the office full of training and a guest speaker. I was skeptical about the speaker until I saw who he was - State Rep. Jason Fields. During his session, I found myself getting more and more inspired about what CY is doing. There were several times I wanted to either jump for joy or just run up and hug him. I, of course, did none of these things, but just sat back in awe. He talked about his dream of making Milwaukee an international hub. He talked about honor being the most important virtue someone our age could have.
