Physical Training...yep, I said it

Today all of City Year Sacramento got together to practice Physical Training for our big opening day on Sept. 25th at the capitol steps, where we will recite our pledge, hear from speakers, and officially kick-off our service year in the community! 

City Year, why do we do PT?: "To practice service, discipline, purpose, and pride!"

Never thought I would be doing something that involved doing synchronized jumping jacks. hahaha But I am, and while PT is not my favorite thing, I think I sort of like it! :)  

I'll share with you our City Year pledge: 

I pledge to serve as a City Year corps member to the very best of my ability,

to honor the rules and expectations of City Year,

to respect my colleagues and the people and communities we serve,

to provide excellent service,

to lead by example and be a role model to children,

to celebrate the diversity of people, ideas, and cultures around me,

to serve with an open heart and an open mind,

to be quick to help and slow to judge,

to do my best to make a difference in the lives of others, and

to build a stronger community, nation, and world for all of us.

Peace.
