Reflecting on today makes me again so happy and grateful to be alive. I can not explain how immensely blessed we are. I still can not fathom the fact that we are living on Capitol Hill and doing really big things. I am so honored.
Anyway, as for my day I didn't do much of anything. I woke up, washed my dirty laundry and went to pick up my tailored suit. I'm so excited because it is my first suit that I purchased with my own money. I'm too happy. After which, I came back to get ready open orientation that WISH (Washington Internship Student Housing) held for us. It was really good meaning the atmosphere was good, the food was excellent, and the hosts were amazing. We actually had a chance to meet the founders of WISH. The family was extremely nice. However, I was in no manner ready to mingle with anyone. I didn't feel like being social at all. (Maybe, next time)
I really want to go out and explore the city more and more. Something very interesting happened to me today. As I was exiting Union Station (a place where the Metro stops) a guy who held the door open for me stopped to shake my hand and gave me the nicest smile. Now, I wanted to stop him and tell him how much that made my day, but I didn't want to be awkward. To the man that did that, I thank you!
So, my boss emailed me today to tell me about me starting tomorrow. I am SOOOOO excited, yet I do not know what to expect. I don't know. All I know is I'm going to give this job my all. I have never wanted something so much (in regards to a position) and God has blessed me to have it, so I must give it my all. Being from small town Mississippi there were a lot of resources that I weren't granted and much information about the world I missed out on, but I do not want to hold that as an excuse. I want to work my butt off. Whatever it takes I want to make sure that our community the gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer, and allies community have equal rights in every facet of life. We must be inclusive and the diversity has to be there.
“We all should know that diversity makes for a rich tapestry, and we must understand that all the threads of the tapestry are equal in value no matter what their color.” - Maya Angelou
What a greater world we would would have if we realized the strength in us all being very different and unique and embracing and celebrating that difference.
We shall see what tomorrow holds.
