“You are more than one experience or moment in time” In my very first blog post, I was hopeful that I would start exercising and eating healthier on a regular basis. Well, that really did not happen, admittedly, I did not pursue this goal as seriously as I thought I would in the beginning of …
Sadly, my final week in Detroit was last week. I have left Detroit for a position in Lansing, but I miss Detroit everyday. My experience this summer has been unreal. I’ve learned so much about the city through talking to others in my cohort and through working at Focus: HOPE. In my first post, I …
Dear Theresa, So, 10 weeks later, here you are. You know Detroit just a bit better now, and have done much of what you set out to do. You have built a rapport at the farmer’s market and are even going out for coffee with one of the other vendors this very week. You have …
As this season comes to a close, I know that I have relearned a lot of things in the 10 weeks that I have spent here in Detroit and I have been SO blessed by them. I have such a larger perception of Detroit, mostly though ppl since i was mostly in two buildings the whole …

The program is coming to a close and I could not have had a better time living in Detroit this summer. We got to experience so many aspects of the city, experience the lives of the people that live here and for a short time get to see all the city had to offer. While …
Soooooo I’m almost done here in Detroit.It feels like we’ve only been here for a couple weeks but the program is over. That’s wild. I’ve learned a pretty good amount about how to respectfully enter a community. I’ve made a lot of new friends both at work and at home with the DCBURP fam. This summer …
When I read my first blog post, I was like wooooooooooow, so much passion and pure heart. I would say that the goal that I definitely achieved was understanding my role more as a Detroiter. I really appreciated this trip for that. I learned more history, I started to use resources that I knew existed, …
I’m very confused about the fact that 10 weeks in Detroit have already passed. I’ve tried to write the first paragraph of this reflection letter several times, and I’ve been having a lot of trouble with it. Living and working in Detroit has been an overwhelming positive and worthwhile experience, and I can say that …
Aww man, signing the letter as “Love, Yourself” is way too cheesy you goob. One thing that I didn’t touch on was how much there is to learn from the rest of the cohort group. I quickly grew to have genuine admiration for everybody, and look forward to people sharing their opinions. There were so …
I would’ve written this last week, but due to an unfortunate series of events I ended up taking the whole week off. I thought I had a concussion and proceeded as if I did, doing nothing but resting. The spectacular news is that I’m fine; I truly can’t put into words how amazing and wonderful …
