This week has been giving me whiplash with all of the emotional highs and lows, but the consistent support of the people I have met here has made each meeting, outing,\u00a0and event so enjoyable and worthwhile. My situation was fairly unique to the cohort; I didn’t have a roommate and was the only person from DCBRP at my\u00a0placement! And, while I’m\u00a0not<\/em> complaining… I realize both of those things and the fact that I’m pretty introverted made it difficult to make friends initially. I guess I was lucky, then, that you guys are some of the coolest, kindest most sincere, intelligent, and accepting people I have ever met.<\/p>\n

I could easily\u00a0rattle on about all of the most memorable events–<\/p>\n

The one that made me dance: Motown Museum Group Tour<\/p>\n

The ones that took me out of my comfort\u00a0zone: The Concert of Colors, Juneteenth<\/p>\n

…or put me to work:\u00a0Michigan Urban Farming Initiative<\/span><\/p>\n

The one that made me think you all were dirty children:\u00a0Quiplash Game<\/p>\n

The ones that blew my mind with insight: Talking with Yusef Shakur, Detroit 67 Perspectives, and the subsequent information Scarlett shared about the Michigan\u00a0Urban Farming Initiative.<\/p>\n

But, honestly, I realize that the best parts were always seeing everyone’s mutual enjoyment, sitting by someone new and getting to know them a little bit better in that time, all the while transforming the perspective I had of my hometown. I have thoroughly enjoyed the\u00a0experiences\u00a0I’ve had with all of the people I have gotten to know, whether directly or not…<\/p>\n

…and it’s not quite over yet, guys!<\/p>\n

-Peggy<\/p>\n

Ps. I truly appreciate Kyle, Scarlett,\u00a0and Aries for driving me to Tues.\/Thurs. events, and for everyone who drove me around the city (– <3)<\/p>\n
