NY2NO

When i stepped off the NY2NO bus the community around me was shocking. I was slapped in the face hard and continued to be overwhelmed by the issues in New Orleans that continues to pile up upon each other. It disappoints me to say that i was blind to the issues at hand. Thankfully this organization has changed my whole outlook on the problems here and life all together. By learning so much about this city and all it's history, in a way it's too much to wrap my mind around. The hardest part of this trip for me is that the progress is not apparent right away, but i've also leaned that the process is slow, but definitely rewarding. I have come here a blank slate and I'm returning home with more than i ever expected to learn. What i hope for is that when i come back i'll bring with me more knowledge and experience than i have left here with. NY2NO is a life changing experience and is for sure one that i would like to experience over and over again.
