I am leaving in 3 days to drive to New Jersey for an internship with Urban Promise (http://www.urbanpromiseusa.org). I will be working with inner city kids there untill the end of May. This is going to be a drastic change in lifestyle for me and hopefully a life changing experience. Because of this, a friend ecouraged me to start a blog (thanks lindsey). The decision to pack up my life and leave for something fairly unkown did not come easy to me. My cousin threw me a going away party that was soon dubbed the "Matt's a tricky duechebag party" when I wavered in my decision and he didn't want to call off the party. After much thought and prayer I then changed my mind once again and it returned to being the "Matt's going away party." The party was incredible and made me realize what amazing friends I am leaving behind for these 8 months. In the end I felt like this was the right decision for me and I am incredibly excited to attempt to impact the lives of the kids in Camden New Jersey. I don't really have much to say yet since I havent even left but this is going to be a place where I can attempt to keep everyone updated on my life in Camden. I promise that I will try to make these posts more entertaining in the future for those of you who only kind of give a shit.
