"A ship in harbor is safe, but that's not what ships are built for."
-John A. Shedd
The thing that excites me most about this experience is that it is new, unfamiliar and uncomfortable. JMU became my safe harbor and I am so ready to float onward.
Kayaking during my 4 day Americorps training with 12 of the other volunteers serving throughout Alaska. Ranging from age 22-37 and from all over the US, everyone had such a unique story and completely different reason for ending up here. We were a group of strangers, that could not have been more different, but united by the fact that we all for some strange reason decided to spend a year of service in America's largest, coldest and most isolated state.
i love that quote and may steal it. i can't wait to hear more about this part of your life. xo.
