welcome to dallas. you'll find that it isn't quite the soulless hole people in San Antonio make it out to be, but it's pretty damn close.![]()

On Friday I'm leaving for Dallas to start a 10 week internship that I could accept into a whole year inernship that isn't a lot of money, but is super rewarding. I wouldn't bother posting a thread about it, but it's a pretty worth while cause, well at least I think it is.
I'll be working in a group for a non-profit called Project Transformation (http://www.projecttransformation.org) coordinating summer day camps for an inner city Methodist church. It sounds pretty awesome. Most of the kids come from "under served" communities and 97% live in poverty. At the end of the summer we're taking the middle school kids on a week long wilderness camp. Most of them haven't been outside of Dallas. From what I've heard the kids have the experience of their lifetime. Throughout this whole thing we act as role models and that whole shebang.
It'll be the first time I've been outside of San Antonio for more then maybe 3 weeks, and in Dallas nontheless. I think I'm going to wear silver and black...a lot. Except I may get shot.
Spare me the response of "thanks for getting out of San Antonio, ashbag, ash , etc." I was just keeping everyone updated on what I'm doing and maybe looking for some support once I get up there.

Wow. What a great experience for you!
I did a lot of work with inner city kids in L.A. It's rewarding, but hard at times.
Have fun and good luck.
Have fun in Dallas!!![]()
I hope so! I'll be in a church 6 out of 7 days of the week!
congratulations. that sounds very rewarding! good luck up there in Dallas![]()
That's what I've heard. I'm just going to take it one day at a time.
Thanks girls!![]()
Congrats, Ashbeeigh.
I hope your time up there is successful.
Good luck to you!
Congratulations! I hope you and those kids have a blast.
Don't worry about wearing Silver and Black, most of the basketball fans here in Dallas have put their gear away for the season.
Welcome to Big D. It's actually not bad at all, I only complain cuz I miss living in SA.
You'll be fine as long as you stay out of Uptown on the weekends, and stay out of Addison at all times.
don't get shot
No sir, not every one in SA feels this way. I happen to like Dallas and I have a BLAST everytime I go.
what's so bad about Addison? I have a friend that lives there but I've never been there myself.
My condolences.
I am not a role model.
are you being punished for something?
It's not bad. It's just a place where a lot of the young, pretentious an pompous like to hang out. Sort of the OC type crowd, but not everywhere. I like Kobe's and hanging out drinking beers with friends at BJ's personally.
ohhh. well my friend that lives there is from California, so I guess that's why he loves it there (in Addison)! lol. he's not pompous at all though
Hey don't forget to flush, Fort Worth needs the water.....old joke..
we got a lot of crime here.
