When I applied for Emerging Leaders I was expecting to automatically have a new family. A family of twenty Winthrop freshman that I would be able to talk to no matter what. I quickly realized that it would not be that easy. Now, don't take that as I realized we wouldn't be a family, that is not the case, I realized that it was just going to take time.
We have had many struggles already and we just began our fourth week of college. At the same time, all families have struggles and at the end of the day I know that everyone has my back if I need them. I would hope everyone also feels the same way, I would stand up and fight for everyone of the EL's. We are still a family.
I would trust each and everyone of these people enough to go skydiving and jump out of a plane with them. I still love my emerging leaders family even with all of our struggles.
I'm glad you talked about working on family issues. We have to work through what causes complications.
