That's the idea I was leaning towards. Just to give you all a better understanding of where I'm coming from, I'll give a few deets about myself.
I'm across the country from my fam, entirely by my choice but never the less. I have to work full time to maintain a standard of living and I also attend school full time. Therefore, my time is stretched. That's why I asked about attending ALL events because I may not be able to do so. After high school I had every intention of attending "my choice" HBCU (thus not having to work so much) but my parents at the time couldn't afford it. I'm sure i could've thrown a tantrum but I've been through a great deal of things over the past 6 years so I put on my big girl britches and came to the realization maybe what I wanted wasn't for me.. Come to find out it was for my baby sister (love that girl dearly) and she is doing OUTSTANDING. Typically you'd think I would be super green but she's my sis & she's over there making all of us proudest people we could be right now. So I am content (but not entirely satisfied) that my post-high school plans didnt go as planned. So I'm here alone with ABSOLUTELY NO FAMILY & VERY few (& few is a stretch) friends (i do have my long time bf & his fam but you know "there's no one like your own mama or your own fam"). Before this, my family was EVERYTHING!
In a nutshell I have ALWAYS felt the urge to be a part of something bigger than myself helping people who otherwise wouldn't be helped & being a part of " a group in which i'm not seeking" OMG would just satisfy my spirit to the fullest because it's family, no matter what no one will ever understand you or be there for you or nurture you like family. I love my blood sisters to death & I just wouldn't know how to act if someday somebody told me I had thousands more! I just thirst for this in so many ways.. it's so hard to explain..
I could go into more detail but for the sake of all reading, I'll keep it right here
