As I think about people and place I am reminded of something a friend told me some time ago: "Sometimes you don't know how great a place you have until you have an experience away from it." Reflecting on last week, this is THE reason I feel it's important to get up and adventure outside your comfort zone.
Maybe more relevant to the topic people and place, I once tried to avoid school entirely. Luckily some interaction from people I trust made me interested in trying to study in a place I might be able to relate to, low and behold I am now here. What I think I'm trying to say is, we have the potential to create huge changes in other peoples lives and maybe I'm just drunk with energy but thoughts in this mind are flowing on how to make those changes.
After thinking about my interview in Wolcott, I remember one post recorded experience as one of the kids told us that he enjoyed our visit and would love for us to come back. This makes me wonder why interacting with people outside of the classroom isn't made standard in other classes; isn't the point of a degree to make change, why wait?
There is plenty to do right here, so keep in mind we are people in this place.
