Living with the same nine people for ten months, we have gotten to know one another exceptionally well! One funny thing I have noticed is the frequently used phrases amongst our team and how humorous it is when we catch each other quoting someone else. As we enter our final round together I thought this would be an amusing side of our team to share with the world.
AmeriCorps NCCC/FEMA Corps is unlike any other AmeriCorps program mainly because as a team of 18-24 year olds, we live our lives communally (approximately 92.78% of the time). Not only do we work together, we exercise, prepare meals, sleep and organize activities together. This combination can easily make or break a team. And although we have had some tough times, at the end of the day we always come back together, much stronger and wiser than before. I am entirely grateful to have spent the past eight months with this remarkable group of people. I have become much more patient, open-minded and successful because of everyone’s positive influence. We have such a diverse, intelligent, creative and fun-loving team and I’m sure I can speak for everyone when I say that what we have together is truly unique and special. Cheers to how extraordinary we have all been so far and here’s to our final two months at FEMA Headquarters! Much love Otter 6!
