After delayed flights and long waits for shuttles I finally made it to New York. It is currently 4AM as I sit in my hotel room writing this. You would think after a long day of traveling I would be exhausted and ready to crash, however, the funny thing is I have never felt more alive in my life. As I look out onto people walking the streets of Manhattan I can’t help but feel excited to learn about this amazing city. I can’t help but wonder about the agencies I will visit. What insight will I gain from this trip? What top secrets will be shared with me at agency visits? Who will I meet? Will I find a home here in New York?

 My mind is racing in a million different ways right now and I can feel the inspiration oozing out of this city. I’m excited to work hard and find myself a place in this crazy city. As I sit here watching people from my hotel window I wonder if one day I’ll be walking the streets and someone will be looking out onto the city with the same feelings I have now. Who would’ve thought that at 4AM you could feel so alive just from looking at a city through a hotel window?
