Well folks, it's relay week. The excitement and stress of the event has begun to set in, but thanks to the most fabulous relay team ever, planning is coming together quite nicely. I have the most amazing group of students to work with. As one of them said, Jess, we aren't students anymore, we're friends. I don't think I could have said it better myself! Most groups work poorly under extreme pressure, we seem to get closer and support each other even more. While we have had some pretty tough issues to deal with this semester, everyone kept working and they never lost sight of the goal ahead. It you want to see a group who truly embraces the meaning of a relay, check them out! Have I told you guys how much I like you all!
I am in the process of writing the survivor speech for the relay. It's bittersweet, as I dont have a lot to say (it's only been three weeks!) yet I have so much to say. This isnt' my first time giving this speech, I spoke for my grandpa when he was the honorary chair at the relay back home. I found the copy of the speech I spoke from at the relay and have been reading it for inspiration. The word survivor seems strange. I think I will use the word fighter, since I am still doing that. I am also in charge of choosing the songs for the luminaria ceremony and survivor lap - any suggestions, send them my way. Even bad songs will be included in my decision making! Stay tuned for pictures from our glorious event and details!
