Lights, Camera…Activism!

I was reading through the other blogs entries trying to figure out what it is I have to say about this experience now. The further away from the trip we get the less of a connection I feel to it.  I find myself kind of distracted by myself and I feel very selfish for it because if for one moment I actually make myself think about what happened in New Orleans and how I felt immediately after, I cannot believe the lack of attachment I feel now.  Maybe it’s because I’m about to graduate and go live somewhere else for four years and that is on my front burner now.  That is why I am really glad that I decided to keep in touch with some of the amazing people we met down there.  When I receive their emails it reminds me of the bond we made with a community in New Orleans and no matter how distracted I am by my own selfish whims, I don’t think I could or would ever want to break those bonds. — Elena Weinberg
