wow

just wow, thats honestly all i have to say, the kids have been here for only about 6 hours and i've already seen a big change in them! and i cant even really call them kids because shoooot im the same age! but its crazy for to the the change in happening in front of me, its totally different then watching it on any video posted on the website about first and goal that ive seen, this is truly amazing. there is no words to describe this program. not only am i behind the cameras learning about how the kids taking part in the program are, but as i'm standing in the corner, trying to not be seen by anyone, trying to blend in to the background (you knoww... the usual job for a cameraman /woman) , i myself am learning and taking in everything the counclirs are saying in about college & other things, because i too have a story and i too have those "game changer" people in my life. as i sit here in the lobby typing this i feel melancholy for all the things that have happened in my past and i hope that maybe someday i can participate at 1st and goal as a counciler and not just a camerawoman haha :) today has been so tiring so far but its been so worth it. i look forward for the rest of the night and the rest of the weekend.
