I've Finally Figured It Out

I never really questioned why I am here. I walked into this project knowing that ultimately, the organization wants me to create a profitable business--keep in mind that I have no business background, and because my transition from graduating college to flying out of the country was a rush, I never took the time to really think about my ultimate goal for engaging in this work.

One of the hardest things that I've had to deal with while being here is other people's expectations of "my project." The same people who created the project has downsized it in many ways. However, I do have the support of some staff members, and even though I know that it will be hard, I am determined to make the business work--through teamwork. We have a good team here, and we are confident in our students' abilities.

On the other hand, I wholeheartedly believe that VOICE has instilled in students and staff the idea that what is impossible is possible. Our role is and has been to re-create the image of reality: life is more than what it seems to offer, as long as opportunities and resources are there, and we are the resource.

There's a good reason why the VOICE team pour their hearts into their work.
