a big sigh of relief...

Working with a co-worker, I have been planning an all day youth event for the past few months. We had youth speakers, a career panel, a resource fair, discussion groups and a hands-on activity.

It happened yesterday, with great success.

We had positive feedback from the youth and managers alike, we had no conflicts and I feel like we really accomplished our goal - we empowered the youth to find their own path in conservation.

It was a long day yesterday, but it sure was satisfying.

Now I have 2 weeks left to finish up wrapping up my job and get it prepared for my yet-to-be-hired predecessor. Wow.
