Reach for the Sky

In the picture above, Cody, Josue, Julius, and I are admiring the height of a rocket in the Air and Space Museum, which we visited during some free time this afternoon.  The picture seems to represent an important theme from our week with GUALA in Washington DC. 

All of us have, at one point or another, reached heights we may have never believed possible.  For some, it was mastering a new yoga position, and for others it was speaking with members of Congress.  For many of us, the simple act of telling our GEAR UP story to others and creating everlasting bonds with each other has been life-changing.

Regardless of what the highlight of our week was, we will all continue to achieve new heights as we return to our home GEAR UP programs and spend a year working with Judy and the GUALA program.  From this point forward, we will be the rocket ship that aims for the sky to achieve heights some never believed possible. 

I am fortunate to be part of such an amazing group, and look forward to continue learning and growing with my fellow GUALA rockstars!!
