 Reconnect At the Beach with My CADRE
Karen Smith [Cadre 11] - 06/16/2009
This was such an exciting flight, we traveled as a family. We did not get to all sit together but we were close enough. I looked at what I could accomplish if I just put my mind to it. Once we landed we had to rent a vehicle large enough for 7 people. I have learned to open my mouth and ask for help. I spoke with a relative yesterday and told her I needed a rental and she was able to get me the employee discount, the rental was only $400.00 for the week. I as so thankful, I am constantly seeing how blessed I truly am. We stayed at a friends house who just gave us a key and opened her home to us. When we landed we met with the Cadre at the beach for a cookout. This is what I appreciate about this program. The personal time we spend together. Not everyone is taking advantage of this component, but I think I get it. The children loved meeting my classmates and my professors. Paul and Margaret, jand Gary have such open personalities. I find it amazing that children are able to tell if people are fake or real and my children especially have that gift. Later that night, back at the house my daughter JoJo stated when she grows up she wants to go to Pepperdine, because we have fun. Fun along with work… Classes tomorrow, we will see.
