I think it is important for everyone to be open to new experiences. For the 2012 cohort, the SRI has just bloomed. Although I cannot speak for everyone, I would say that a lot of us went out of our comfort zones in just one week. Here is a list of one or more things we participated in:
*Getting up at 8:00am (or earlier) on Monday morning
*Personality testing
*Diversity training
*Taking the stairs instead of the elevator
*Gardening
*Yoga
*Meditation
*Eating at Greentree Co-op (That BLT with feta cheese was scrumptious!)
*Rock climbing
*High Ropes course
*5k training
*Research pilot test
*Learning how to eat frogs and identify big rocks
Now, look at that list again. I probably forgot a few things. Be proud for all that we have experienced in ONE week. Next, look at the list below. Consider what else we could enjoy together:
*Karaoke
*Planting more seeds in the garden
*Kayaking
*Bonfire
*Cookout
*Volunteering
*Hitting the gym
*Biggest Loser competition
*Blogging
So embrace it. With arms wide open.
Afterall, we are McNair.
So cool! What can I say? I was so pleasantly surprised when I came to the blog and saw your post, Katelyn. I LOVE it! You are an inspiration...and, I love your view of the first week. More to come, for sure!
