Nola Post #2

Today is the last day that we will be working on the house. It is currently 5:27 am, so I think I'm probably the only one awake - it's because I fell asleep early last night. But I'm lying here, writing this blog and looking around the room, and I notice how far we have all come in such a short time. We have all gotten so much closer and learned to work through trying situations with one another. I have gone on similar trips before when I was in high school, but this trip has definitely been the one where I've grown the most as a person. It has been an incredible experience, from the service work to the culture to the people I am with on the trip. Speaking of the service work, I found my momentum yesterday when I realized I had two days left to make a difference on the house we're working on. Yesterday we spent a significant amount of time fixing previous errors and I am worried that our work at the site is less productive than I wanted it to be. Hopefully today everyone will be inspired to work their hardest, being as it is the last day.
