What Am I Learning In This Program

I have been learning so much about the community I have lived and worked in for most of my life. I am a bit embarrassed about how little I knew about the topics we have covered so far in the Education Days. I have loved everything about the education days, it's my favorite part of the program so far.
I am also learning that I have so much to give my community. I have always "given my all" to my employer and have been proud of what I have accomplished and how I have helped at work, but I have stopped there. I just never realized that I could branch out and do good things for others that I may know nothing about. It just takes commitment, hard work, kindness, the things we all have and can give.

Watching the Dreamliner

What a treat! At the end of our Business and Economic Development Education Day, I was cleaning up our cups , and packing up to go home. Barry Smith, from the Future of Flight came into the room and said, "Do you want to see something cool?" He brought me and Marc Gerogadis, and Bill DeSelms (Two LSC alumni) onto the flight deck of the Future of Flight building. We had a private showing of the 787 Dreamliner landing. Here's our baby!! A perfect end, to a perfect education day.
