Whirlwind

Here is my attempt to condense the last two and a half weeks of training into one post.
Let's see how well I do.

For the last few weeks, my 19 fellow TLC’s and I have been trained on the ins and outs of Zeta.  We would arrive early to our International Office and learn more about our sorority than we ever thought existed. And it made me fall in love with Zeta all over again.

The Board Room.

Me and Chelsea

Carrie and Julia

Our first night was spent in Carmel, Indiana.

 Also known as the Number One City in America... and you can see why.

 Abbey, Millie and Chelsea

 Chloe, Carolyn, Adina, me and Rachel

 Another night we ventured into an area called Broadripple.

And after long days of exploring new places and working at the office, we would rest our weary heads at the Holiday Inn. 

Sometimes I felt like Eloise at the Plaza, but on a much much smaller scale. Well, I guess I just really enjoyed coming home to a bed that I never had to make!

                                                           

It has all been a whirlwind. And it all flew by.

I honestly didn't think that I would grow this close this fast to these 19 girls, but in our brief time together they have each found a spot in my heart. 

I have learned so much from them. 

They have reminded me of the complexity that each person's story holds. 

Their family, their hometown, their likes or dislikes, the things that make them, them. 

I needed to be reminded of this before I went on the road. 

I needed to be reminded that everyone has a story. 

A different walk of life. 

And a different way they see the world.
