March was another exciting month to be a part of the Raleigh Fellows. The beginning of March was when our genogram papers were due, which was a project for our family systems class. Writing the genogram paper was a wonderful experience for me, as I got to interview all of my family members and ask them questions their immediate families when they were kids. This experience was fascinating, and I learned a lot about my family that I likely would have never known otherwise. I really enjoyed our family systems class, and writing the genogram paper was my favorite part of the class. During March we had small group breakout as a part of student ministry at Apostles. Me and the other six grade boys leaders took the kids bowling, and it was an absolute blast. It was fun to able to interact with the kids outside of our normal environment and I think they had a great time bowling. During March, we also wrote our 360 reviews, which are anonymous reviews that we wrote about each of the other fellows. We wrote about everyone’s strengths and also areas where we think they grow. Each fellow then met with Ashley, and she read us the thoughts that others have about us. I was pretty nervous about doing this, and it was not something that I really wanted to do. I think at this point I should just trust everything Ashley does at face value because it ended up being another really good experience that taught me a lot. It was really cool to hear that kind of honest feedback from people that I have spent so much time with. Their words gave me a lot to think about, and I think I will be able to grow as a result. We finished the month with our silent retreat which was led by Mary Young at took place at St. Francis prayer center. The facility at St. Francis is great and there is much beauty to see at their center. The retreat was a great opportunity to experience calm and to think inwards. It was a great time to be prayerful and to appreciate God’s creation. I can’t believe that April is our last full month as fellows, but I know that we can make it our best month yet.
