Today I struck up a great conversation with a younger man named Jason. I knew when I saw him walk through the doors of the Father McKenna Center around 7:15am I needed to talk to him. His pleasant smile and genuine wave was so captivating! We talked about his journey through school on a football and track scholarship. He became homeless due to the financial struggles that come along with paying for college. It's crazy to think that his same situation could happen to anyone! However, he was excited to tell me he started his new job as a waiter at Denny's yesterday!! I told him how proud of him I was for going out and taking a step in the right direction. Throughout the conversation he continued to light up more and more! :) Eventually, we were both surprised to find out we both are involved in Greek Life! He was a member of Omega Psi Phi while in college. It's amazing to find similarities with people who you never thought shared your interests and passions. Today was a great second day filled with memories I will never forget. Our group is getting along so well. The time we have together is always fun, inspiring, and productive. I am anxiously awaiting the three days to come!
