Training and Dirt Bike racing

So for the last few days, I've been staying at a hotel in Helena, Montana, where we have to go through something called Pre-Service Orientation (PSO). It has been interesting, and I feel as though I've made some great connections with other VISTAs as well as other staff people. Not only have I learned more about myself, I feel as though I have learned a series of new perspectives that will help me to better serve the community that I am working in. As much as I have already... disliked my situation, I am sure that there will be ways to make things better.

I'm excited- I have met people in Helena who seem to have similar goals and interests- including making the world a better place, and a backpacking adventure through Yellowstone- and feel as though I shall, after this year, become a better person.

I have also had the opportunity to catch up with Amy, my Grandma's boyfriend's daughter and her family. It was exciting- they've shown me around the town, and taken me to their Motorcross stuff. I am super greatful.

I should probably go- I am quite tired and need to wake up crazy early tomorrow morning. Check my Facebook page for more pictures of Helena.
