This Saturday, October 15th, a group of thirty people will be flying into Quito to form the Notre Dame Brigade. This will be a special brigade for me, as it will be a "full-circle" type experience. I was a part of the Notre Dame brigade last year, acting as a nurse, taking vitals and heights and weights, fumbling around with my Spanish, sitting in the back of the bus with the students, struggling with the fact that I was no longer a college student and I was in fact a "medical professional", a real Registered Nurse! It was maybe a little strange to the students that I wanted to sit in the back of the bus with them, but that was all I had ever known on the Timmy trips I had gone on before - as a Purdue student!
Now I will be leading their brigade, I will see many faces I remember from last year, but will be in a completely different role. It will be comforting to know people, that not the entire group will be strangers to me. It will be my second brigade to lead, and I am excited about seeing how it goes. I feel more organized, but that could be just a trick of my mind! I will have an update in another week!
