I lose my words to describe all and all events because it's day to day and minute to minute I encounter life here. Just as you would where you're based, but I'm trying to do the task of bringing those far, near.
The DTS team is powerful. We all can feel that we'll definately be doing some great things. Perhaps asap. We're still in the beginning stages of orientation week; but, I'm not the only one feeling we have been called here to grow both alone and together.
