boston children's choir

alright. so last night was dr. carol johnson's swearing in as the new superintendent of the boston public schools at trinity church. and of course, the boston CY corps was there in full-uniform (we looked good) and in full-force. it was basically a night of really fabulous music. and the boston children's chorus doing some fabulous a capella. and i can't let that moment go unnoticed. so while it was ridiculously hot in there and we were there an hour early, and i sat next to sara and matt, (my teammates) who is basically like a CY celebrity because both of his brothers did CY here and they all look alike so the board members are like, you look really familiar, we met some ladies behind us and one in front of us. we fanned ourselves a lot with the programs and then at the end everyone sang this little light of mine. a third grader spoke very eloquently, but also, a parent from the william monroe trotter elementary school spoke and we were very excited, because that is our service partner!

and today was the last day of training. tomorrow is our red jacket dedication ceremony. and friday is city year boston opening day. my parents are coming up, which i think is really fabulous and they are going to come to service on friday after the ceremony which is nice of them and then i am going out to springfield with them, which is not so fab, but i would like to get to spend time with them. its incredible to think that its already been a month. and also, rent is due on monday...
