The immersion has ended but in spirit, I feel like it has already began. It amazes me the amount of leadership ability, experience, conviction, and intellect that the Alfonners have. I was literally blown away by the presentations that were presented. Each Alfonner had their own approach and their own way of conveying their feelings and emotions.
I would personally like to say to all the Alfonners that this has really been a great experience for me. It is so nice to be surrounded by like minded individuals, individuals who want to do so much more with their lives, individuals that want to be a part of something bigger than themselves. That amount of energy in one room is simply amazing.
My act of commitment seemed very fragmented to me so over the upcoming semester I will make it a point to organize my commitment and to make sure that is implemented into action. It's such a hard thing to wrap your mind around that you can make a difference or that you can make impactful change in a big way. I've learned that once you commit to something, once you really evaluate your motives and inspirations, you will stop at nothing to get it done. My goal of self-publishing a book has shown me that if you really want to change your lifestyle and take action you will do anything to do it.
The Alfonners are utterly amazing. If anyone reads this blog know that I second all the acts of commitment that were presented tonight. I will do anything that I can to help others achieve their goals. If this simply means being someone's sounding board or helping someone fundraise or designing posters, I will help in anyway possible. If we've learned anything over the break, I've learned that we are a group that works well together and that cooperation is a must if we want to make lasting, forward progress.
