One of my interns is going on this trip and he had me look at some of the participants. After reading your profile it was a little eerie how similiar we are. Enough so that I was willing to write this randomly. I too graduated from UW, now almost 3 years ago, I share your favorite quote/matra, your favorite book, favorite tv show, favorite movie. Maybe it is just a UW thing. I presently work for Senator Barbara Boxer but I was very close to doing Teach for America. Good luck!

Hi,
I myself, don't care for eggs.
You are so lucky to be able to go make a difference!! I don't think I have to tell you how proud we all are, but I just did. :) I can't wait for you to get home. Call me this weekend.
