The sixth week in the program and it’s starting to get weird. Weird in a good way. When I go out and make my “anti-idling pitch” to people I always make sure to tell them I am from Southwest Detroit. That I am no stranger to the community and that I am really working for myself here. I am working to make my community more breathable and hopefully while I am doing this inspire more people to work together.<\/p>\n
I am also attending a lot of community events for my project and I end up being in a weird place. I am there as a representative of Southwest Detroit Environmental Vision, but I am also there as a community member. It’s weird because I am looking at the resources people are offering and I see that my family can take advantage of some. When I hear other DCBRP projects and what they offer I am also thinking like this.<\/p>\n
I know that there are other Detroit student’s in the program but I don’t know if the think the same way. It’s hard to articulate but it’s just odd working towards your community and still needing more resources from it.<\/p>\n
I love my placement, this is just what I have been feeling lately.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
