After some downtime to reflect on this incredible experience, I look back at the few mementos I saved from throughout the week:

- Evidence of Gained Knowledge: my name tags to get into the agencies

- Point Of Contact: a business card from my favorite visit of the week

- My Guiding Light: My Metro Pass

- A Sense of Home Away from Home: My notes from the Flock event

- Pure Happiness: My takeaways from the Color Factory

- Proof of Purchase: The receipt for my ring bought on a solo afternoon in Chelsea

All different experiences. All hard evidence of a week well spent and a journey unforgettable. I will treasure these forever and know that they were all part of an experience that impacted my life forever.
