Winter Break

It’s been a long semester and a while since the last updates.  Here’s what’s been going on with me:
 

School

After lots of hard work (and a fair amount of whining), I got through the semester with all A’s! 

I applied and interviewed for Howard University’s Alternative Spring Break Program and am happy to announce that I will be a team leader for the Memphis, TN site!

My internship at Washington Hospital Center Transplant Services has been wonderful so far! I’m learning more than I could have imagined. I definitely believe that medical/healthcare social work is for me. I’m looking forward to spending my fall semester at the hospital as well.

Front Line Leaders Academy

My time with the 2012 class of the Front Line Leaders Academy is almost up! I’m confident that the program has prepared me to run someday. Fellows are now working on our graduation projects. One component of the project requires that I show off my fundraising skills.

If you’d like to help me and other younger, nontraditional candidates in building a progressive future please visit my FLLA page to find out how: http://kiagoestowashington.blogspot.com/p/flla.html Whether you give five dollars or fifty dollars, every little bit counts.

Christmas With Mickey!

I’ll be spending time with family in Florida for Christmas. I’m so excited our plans for Disney World. I hope to see my favorite Disney Princess, Cinderella! I'll be sure to share photos.

Happy Holidays, Everyone!
