I was here before there was a Fellowship to speak of. Before the levels, before the cohorts, before any of it had structure or language. Just a few of us trying to figure out if we could actually make something useful. That early season changed how I see the world, and what has come since has continued to change me. The work teaches me things I did not expect to learn. The people I get to do it with show me things about commitment and community that I could not have found in a classroom. I am not here as someone who has arrived at anything. I am here as someone who started something and is still being shaped by it, and who thinks that is exactly how it should be.
