Fired up!

Today we went through orientation and met all 35 of our classmates. Our facilitators, Jann and Antonio, put us through exercises that helped us get to know one another and ourselves. Much time was spent exploring our Myers Briggs profiles, and learning what they mean.

The day was inspiring, exciting and fun. The four hour session went quickly, and was capped off by a nice reception hosted by the Leadership Charlottesville alumni association. We learned about what's in store for the next several months and how we will be working to become a team, actively committed to improving our community.

Tomorrow, we head out to Green County to do a little team building. We're going to a challenge course to perform lots of climbing and trust-based activities. We're all a little apprehensive, but that's the idea; to get us a little out of our comfort zones. We're going to be part of making a difference in Charlottesville and, as Antonio said, that will get a little uncomfortable at times, too.
