Blog #6: The Boys Are Back in Town
With every intention of waking up at 5:15, we drifted to sleep on our last night in this Tampa paradise. However, when you don't get to sleep until 1:00, 5:15 comes earlier than you'd think. So when we rolled out of our cots at 6, folded them up, loaded into our trusty vans-black thunder and white lightening, and pulled out of Mary Help of Christians for the last time it was right around 7. We waved goodbye to Tom and Kay, our hosts, Gloria, our new goat friend, and the gymnasium where we shared tattoos, secrets, knock out victories, mafia defeats, and quite a few cuddle puddles.
Tampa has been an opportunity for each of us to grow, learn, and expand our horizons. We learned the damage that one fur farm can do. But we also learned the power of just a few human beings with compassion and we found strengths within ourselves that we didn't know we had. Maybe it had something to do with all of those trees we uprooted.
Either way, we're all bringing something back with us-new friends, new jokes, new t-shirts, and a new perspective. We hope this new perspective will impact our everyday lives and in the end impact our campus and our peers. Also, if you happen to see a few people casually uprooting stumps around Mizzou's campus, just know it's MU ASB-Tampa....gone rogue.
See you soon CoMo town!!!! MU ASB Tampa, signing out!
