The Final Blog

            Today was very reflection heavy, with plenty of different perspectives and takes on the Immersion experience coming to light. I was absolutely floored by the creativity and sheer passion expressed by everyone at the dinner. Everyone tapped into their creative side to produce beautiful poems, artwork, and displays of what they learned and have to share with Rollins and the community at large.

            The good that lives inside everyone in this intercession course is quite apparent, and I cannot wait to see what everyone accomplishes both in their commitments and in their futures. For their commitments, each person incorporated their own personal talents and visions to create goals that I have no doubt we have the ability to achieve. I am certainly willing and thrilled to help everyone meet their commitment goals.

            This week has resulted in thought provoking experiences, friendships, and perspectives. It has served as a solid beginning to the semester and has provided me with just the perspective I need before I set out to start my second semester of college. The people that we have encountered have profoundly affected my view of homelessness, and I will carry with me the generosity shown by the people such as Jack, the homeless man who offered his jacket, and countless other people who dedicate their lives to doing good in the world. I cannot wait to apply these lessons to my life as a student and an active citizen of the world.

As a reminder of my commitment to let people who have impacted my life know just how much they matter, I have decided to make my last picture a picture of one of the children of my Dominican family who I want to reach out to again. 

Thank you for a wonderful intercession!
