"Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened."
- Dr. Suess
Bitter sweet. That's the taste in your mouth when you finally see an end you didn't think would come for a long time. It's easy to lose track of time in a job like this because every year you see a new crop of students come in and every year you see the gang that you've put together leave. It's been that way a long time - eleven years! - and I have loved every minute of it. The challenges, the dreaming, the trips and the laughter. The tough conversations in the office and on the trail and the way each and every one of the people connected to this program brought their energy, personality, and passion to make it happen.
This is my last week as the head honcho of the Adventure Program. It has been a privilege and honor to have had the opportunity to grow this program and to have grown with it. I will certainly miss the camaraderie, the creativity,and the many, many people that have made it happen over the years. I wish us all the best of luck and hope that you check in with the Struckles every now and then - I like to know what my kids are up to...
Per usual, the door is always open and you are always welcome at our table.🤗
