Kara: Hey guys!! When we went to NOLA over thanksgiving these blogs were always so much fun to check and were def. something to look forward to at the end of a hard day! If I was any good with motivating words I would give you some, but Im not. So. . . have a great time, work really hard, and listen to all of their stories!! When youre there it isnt about you or how much work you do compared to other people, its about the impact you have on others and the one they have on you! I wish I was there, banking is no fun! <3 You all. .. Especially Gabby :-)

Lauren: hello, Team Tennessee! I see from the JMU Gateway that you have been "diverted" -- kudos to you all for going to work where they need you the most. Remember, you're not just rebuilding homes, you're rebuilding lives. Work hard, smile often, reflect deeply, be safe, and know you are making a difference!
