You are at the top of the list in regards to "Must Follow Trip Reports". After following this from the beginning I began to realize how "real world" this is, how educational it can be for all that follow and for you, the scribe (Sorry - I couldn't think of a great Frump word!). Real world in the sense that as great as things are there can be moments of not so great; moments of pain in saying good bye; tears and emotion mixed in with elation. That's real, and I applaud you, in a standing ovation manner, for not leaving those out. The great lesson for you: The fact that this (the trip report) is real world in the sense of the feedback and responses, even the not so good one. Unfortunately, those folks, the downers, negatives - the haters, they will be with us forever. But never let them win, never join them - especially when dealing with them! Smile, stay positive and stay true to yourself. So congrats on your graduation, both from the DCP and from Life 101!
