06/13/2016

As excited as I am to begin my journey in the EESA program, I already know that this time is going to fly by. It is very exciting to be surrounded by intelligent and motivated people who all share a common goal and purpose. With that being said, my group has some of the most charming and intellectual people I have ever met and I am anxious to see what we come up with. Tommorow we go into the township of Khayelishta for the first time and I have to admit that I am nervous. I've seen this kind of poverty on TV but have never witnessed it in person. From what I hear it is also dangerous, which is also a bit nerve wracking.
Dr. Morris taught alot about guerilla strategies and tactics and it reminded me alot of the book 48 Laws of Power (I wonder if he's read it or not I should ask him). But I'm happy that i'm already taking away alot from the classroom and am excited about how I implement it on Wednesday when meet our clients for the first time.
I also cant believe just how cheap food is here. I was a bit upset when I discovered that food was not included in our tuition fees but I don't even mind since I had amazing sushi for about $2.50. Lunch time is great to get to know people who arent in your group. I think the entire EESA program so far has great chemistry but since it being the second day I cant help but be curious about drama that will go on.
