Month 1 at Summit

Hey all! This is Josie Yost. The first month of being in Summit has turned out great. It started out a little bumpy, but that's to be expected with four girls with different personalities. We've gotten used to each others habits and lifestyles now. I live with my three best friends and life doesn't get much better than that.

The way we decided on Summit was really random. Last year we knew each other, but we weren't very close. Katrina and I were friends and we just kind of knew Sarah and Anna. We were all at friends house one night and everyone was talking about how they needed to start thinking of housing for the next year. A mutual friend looked at the four of us and said, "Hey, why don't you all live together?" That was it. From then on it was decided. We researched places around Springfield that could use our help, called to different faculty members about advising us, and put a lot of time and effort into our presentation.

We chose to work with C.A.R.E. because they are small and less-known and they were very interested in having us help them and actually working with us in return. Thus far, everyone I have met at C.A.R.E. seems like good people and really committed to the rescue efforts. I hope we can help them as much as possible with this project.
