We had the first part of the Show Me Conference today. It was pretty cool. We met up with other AmeriCorps organizations
in the area like Red Cross, International, and College Bound and shared tips
and tricks about scenarios we all have to deal with. The most bothersome bit of the day for me was
when we talked about poverty. I realized
I have not and will not be getting above the poverty line any time soon… which
was a little depressing. On the bright
side I have been more than frugal enough to live comfortably so far—but if I
were to factor in a family, well, I have some time to figure stuff out.
Other than the
poverty talk it was a great day. Lots of
good food too! I had my first taste of
McGurks’ food and I have decided it is passed time that I make a trip to the
famous St. Louis bar. I mean it is only
a couple of blocks away and there is a group of ERT folk that head there
regularly on Sunday so I have no excuse not to make the trip. I think I will make that a priority when I
return. For now though, I am going to go
be social with my fellow AmeriCorps members.
Later!
