I've been at Umoja for about 7.5 months and the job looks very different now than it did when I first began at the end of July. I used to have much more time to work on lesson plans, coordinate trips, etc. for the Writers Workshop that I've been running. I would then help facilitate Student Leadership for three hours a week and assist in Umoja-wide events as needed. Now, I've stepped into a more active role in Student Leadership so I attend planning meetings, continue to help facilitate, and I help execute various initiatives. I continue to increase the speed with which I complete tasks (without sacrificing quality). It has been exciting to see my own professional growth in terms of speed, decision making, and managing of multiple projects.

In other news, I’m now at a point where I’m wondering where I want to be next year. I’m torn between returning to NYC (my hometown) and staying in Chicago, a city I really have grown to love (thanks to my coworkers, students, and the fellows/Princeton network here). Hopefully I figure things out soon!
