Hey you,<\/p>\n
Lucky you. You got a project with people who\u2019ve welcomed you more than they\u2019ve had to. What an opportunity. Continue to take their suggestions! Soak in their banter! Pay attention to their business calls! Be a friend!<\/p>\n
Your expectation for the program is to grow in skills you can\u2019t even name, yet. You love watching the staff navigate social and professional situations. They use combinations of skills you\u2019ve never quite seen before. They stay true to their residency in Osborn while managing the professional work of grants and partnership. You hope to gain skills like that from being around them. You also hope to learn as much as you can about Detroit! You have everything to learn, as a total newcomer, and you\u2019re eager to begin to understand the general culture of Detroit. What does it mean, at all, to be Detroit proud?<\/p>\n
Your current perception is all over the place. The gentrified Downtown reminds you of downtown DC, which you’ve grown up near. You\u2019ve been reading about how toxic the gentrification is and that’s beginning to challenge your observations everywhere you go in Detroit\u2014in Osborn, especially. It is such a stark contrast to Downtown. I say, continue to think about the author’s arguments all the time. Make it a habit. Exercise your thinking about gentrification like a muscle.<\/p>\n
You’d like to contribute enthusiasm and the logic and writing skills you’ve worked on at school (something you didn’t really see coming, something a little more mature). You just want to offer them your most helpful self (while your eyes are popping out of your head).<\/p>\n
Good luck with all that,<\/p>\n
