Hello Gideon Season

Destiny, Zahir, and Ameerah 3 of my hundreds of children. 

Yesterday.

The end of a 10 year journey. I started working with Philadelphia Freedom Schools in 2005 as a rising HS Junior. I started the program that summer not really knowing what I was getting myself into. But nonetheless I completed that summer with a few bumps, but my passion and calling started to brew. I continued to work with this program through the school year. I realized (well sort of) that I had a gift. What was it exactly? Where was I supposed to be headed. Well at that point I didn't know. I still do not fully know. So as the story goes I continued through the program during high school and college. I move around and up the "ranks" of servant leadership.  I went to and from this program throughout HS and college. Holding the positions of Junior Servant Leader, Fannie Lou Hamer Trainer, Blac Star Scholar, Servant Leader Intern, William Still Trainer, Site Coordinator, Academic Advisor and ending with 2 years as the Program Coordinator. And yesterday I transitioned into a new space, a slightly different atmosphere and I said good bye to my babies, my students, I didn't realize how much they all touched my heart. Yesterday I told them that it wasn't good bye it was a  see you later to them  and to a program that raised me groomed me, and that I am deeply indebted to. I appreciate the experience and the lessons. I cried and laughed a lot with my students and peers. Thank to everyone who has been intrugal in this journe, But a new Journey awaits . Romans 8:28 says And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. Thy will be done Lord. Philadelphia Freedom Schools I LOVE YOU. Asè.
