The Blur of Summer

Summer, has been a fantastic and furious experience over the last month. I can hardly believe it's already July. My month of June was consumed by orientation, working with other Student Orientation Undergraduate Leaders (SOULs) to introduce the class of 2013 to Miami campus and to get them excited about coming to the University. Such a good time.

I have to say this past month was superb. The people I worked with this summer were some of the most dynamic and wonderful people I've had the privilege of being so closely associated. The bonds formed were just one the many benefits of the summer.

I won't dwell to long on each point but to summarize, it was a great leadership experience. A healthy increase in confidence, perception and forethought are among the assets I have consciously noted gaining over the course of the SOUL experience. I feel that it was just a really great growing experience overall.

Grow, grow, growing.
Like a weed.

I hit the ground running this summer and I've just gotten my feet under me, SOUL set the pace and all, but there's still so much to do, there's still August orientation to go but even before that I'm going to be heading out to North Carolina for a family reunion as well as making the attempt to meet up with friends in Maryland all before dinner time/before school starts...Well, we shall see.

Onward and upward.
