We earned our Uniforms today! This entailed some immense preparation this week, including memorizing the City Year pledge, the City Year Mission, the City Year Vision, and the Americorps pledge. In addition to reciting these as a team, we also had to perform 3 PT moves: Chain breakers, CY Stretch, and Foot Fires (easy, medium, hard). Our IMPACT manager took a video, so when she sends it out, I'll post it.
Tomorrow we dedicate our red jackets at the Red Jacket Ceremony at the Capitol.
In other news we all got nice, new backpacks, donated by Timbuk2. They are part of the uniform and have a CY logo patch sewed on.
Today was our team leader's (TL) birthday. We brought in candy, homemade cupcakes, homemade oreo balls, streamers, and energy. It was fun.
We also did the Meyers-Briggs Personality test. Fun fact - the psychologists who developed it were a mother/daughter team. Anyways, I'm an INFJ, which is supposedly rare. But there were 3 other people in the group who had the same type. Our TL said CY attracts certain personalities.
If you want to take the test, it's only about 12 min and there's some interesting things to learn about your personality type. You have to be honest when answering the questions though.

Speaking of quizzes, here is a thorough quiz you can take to see which presidential candidate best aligns with your values: https://www.isidewith.com/political-quiz
When I took it awhile ago, I aligned with Bernie more than Hillary, which got me to start looking at his campaign more closely.
