It took an 8-page application and an interview to get a call — the call. Through the grapevine, I had heard that my friend, Lily, received her call between 12-1PM. That was around 2PM; it was now 7:30PM. I just stared at the unknown number on my phone as it began to ring and thought […]
So much has happened in past week that I hardly know where to begin. Day Zero and Atlas already seem like an eternity ago even though today is only Day 6 of our 70-day journey. One of my highlights of those first two days was having my family join me for the various events. I’ve […]
