End of CTI!!!

I get inducted tomorrow, and get to say goodbye to CTI!  Such a sweet goodbye.  It's finally time to get down to business :)  After induction we get to go to Larchmont tomorrow and go through training, and hopefully get a taste of what's ahead of us during the next six weeks.  I'm SO excited.  Apparently I've dubbed myself as the special ed pro due to my camp experiences.  I'm curious to see how this will work out lol.  Larchmont is part of a rough school district, and they can definitely use our help.  80% of the students are eligible for free or reduced lunch, and many come from difficult home situations.  Unemployment and homelessness contribute to the high mobility rate of families.  An important part of our mission at Larchmont is to show the students that we can be positive figures in their lives and show them that people can leave their lives in positive ways.  Many of the students have never had anything except negative experiences with people leaving them.  The school is literally within walking distance of the base, and I know the area has experienced many challenges, including a raised level of violence.  Right before I arrived to McClellan, someone was shot and killed at the gas station across the street, and someone else was the victim of gun violence within the school district last week.  Also, if I had a dollar for every time I heard screaming tires and sirens of police or emergency vehicles, I wouldn't have any loans.  It's daunting to envision the things we'll encounter at Larchmont, but I'm excited to see what we can accomplish and what exactly we'll be able to help the school with.  I'm also excited to see the PT plan develop.  I have an outline of what our workouts will look like during the first project but it's all trial and error.  I was contacted today by a rock climbing facility I've been trying to get ahold of to obtain discounts for our team, and I'm confident we'll be able to work something out!  I've always wanted to get back into rock climbing, and my teammates are enthusiastic about it as well, so I'm really optimistic about this working out.
On another note, this morning we had the first official baseline (because apparently the first one didn't count?) and I was pleasantly surprised at my results.  Once again, I'll include my results because those who matter don't judge and those that judge don't matter.  Ha ha.  I increased my pushups to FIFTY, which was awesome because I never thought I'd see the day.  I did 70 sit-ups, and took about a minute and a half off my mile and a half, running it in 12:28.  I'm really excited about these improvements, the only downfall is that it'll be hard to improve from here.  But I'm interested to see how far I can take it, considering I never thought I'd hit the marks I did today.
After a rough few days last week, this week has been phenomenal and it makes me all the more excited to see what project one will hold :)
