I don't think I've ever been so tan in April. Less than two months ago my community and I were struggling to dig ourselves out of our house, now we're getting into summer mode and putting on sunscreen.
It's been a busy few weeks since the last time I blogged. During the last week of March my parents and our good family friends, Paul, Sarah, and Maggie Duwelius visited Washington, DC for spring break to visit my brother Brian and I. Paul's nephew, Patrick, happens to live on the same street as my community and I. My family and friends rented a house in the Columbia Heights neighborhood of DC, about 7 blocks away from our neighborhood in Petworth. My favorite part of their visit was sharing my community and placement. Many meals, laughs, and walks in DC made the week very special.
After my family and friends departure, I geared up for a four day college tour with my students. The high school program staff and I took 8 students to visit six colleges in North Carolina and one in Virginia. We had many packed days touring campuses and our students were able to meet with many college recruiters and one former participant in our high school program who is now a member of our FLOC Scholars program.
My community and I had a wonderful Easter weekend. It was filled with lots of visitors, great weather, and the Cherry Blossom festival. On Sunday we went to Mass at St. Augustine's, a very diverse parish near U Street in Washington. We had a great dinner at our house with friends in the area, including Jeff, a JV in Bridgeport, CT, my brother Brian and friends from home Mike, Kyle, and Sarah.
