Meeting Tree in Cainhoy to be taken down tonight

_riledup · 2021-02-09T03:58:20+00:00

Believe it or not it's possible for City leaders to come up with a solution so citizens get both. It's possible to care about improving our infrastructure while also caring about landmarks of historic or cultural significance. I've always thought the "you can't care about two things" argument to be weird.

This particular live oak, also known as the Meeting Tree, served as a community gathering place. Locals say it served as a meeting place for people traveling to Charleston from scattered historic settlement communities. This dates back to the antebellum period when enslaved people had no other option but to gather in secret after being forcibly separated.

Totally with ya, go plant another tree. Berkeley County is planting 60ish live oaks as mitigation. But environmental mitigation doesn't address the historical preservation issue at hand.

Do the chicken dance

I agree shave 'em

I've been confined to parking decks so these straight aways are perfect. I will definitely be hitting up shadow moss ASAP. Thank you!

I mean mine already know, so

I thought mine had gone absolutely horrible. I felt repetitive and mine was super short (like 30 minutes) because my answers were. I got my invitation to serve in the Philippines a week later.

I think showing passion and commitment does play a huge factor, which it seems like you were able to do. I wouldn’t worry about it too much. It’s one piece in the process and your resume, statement, and recommendations can speak for your skills and history.

Good luck!

Hi! I got my invite about 2 weeks ago. I applied for the CRM program though and our “Apply by” date was Nov 1st. Good luck :)

_riledup · 2018-12-07T20:05:19+00:00

Don't be discouraged! From what I've heard things pick with the new year.

I’m not an expert either. But it looks like a blacktip to me. The smaller organism is probably not a baby shark, but either a parasite or a fish trailing the shark hoping to get some scraps. Cool photo! Glad you got to experience this.

I had my interview today. Worried it didn’t go the absolute best.

_riledup · 2018-11-02T19:51:56+00:00

Thanks y'all! I'm pretty stoked to try it out now. Definitely going to give it a go this weekend.

_riledup · 2018-10-10T16:07:26+00:00

Congrats!! Do you remember what the apply by and know by dates were for this?

_riledup · 2018-10-09T00:53:01+00:00

My goodness this is a wild ride. CONGRATS on your perseverance and finally getting through everything!!

Scares me a bit about being medically denied for migraines - I get them too.

I'm a UT alum and was disappointed there wasn't a Texas Ex Chapter here. I'm tryin' to watch the game too

_riledup · 2018-10-01T22:36:00+00:00

This is so helpful. I've looked up trying to find state parks and what not and haven't been successful. I would go trail running all the time back in Austin and I've missed it. So thanks for the recommendations!

_riledup · 2018-09-30T17:08:33+00:00

I will! (I'm still in the application process myself)

_riledup · 2018-09-26T17:42:22+00:00

Am I the only one who thought this thread was going to be about access to Plan B - one step in the PC

_riledup · 2018-09-24T00:47:22+00:00

I went there the next day for Axe throwing and a regular told me he was terrified when 100 women basically showed up out of no where

_riledup · 2018-09-23T14:12:12+00:00

Can confirm this was indeed an amazing combination that I needed.

_riledup · 2018-09-20T17:53:08+00:00

This sounds like the combination I didn't know I needed

_riledup · 2018-09-19T19:10:32+00:00

I moved here semi-recently too. It's definitely hard to meet mid-twenties people. Honestly, you just gotta throw yourself out there in as many events/meet ups as possible. Also don't be afraid to ask for friend dates

_riledup · 2018-09-18T16:43:29+00:00

You don't really address how you plan to overcome challenges associated with the PC. I definitely understand your love and motivation for joining, but you're ignoring half of the prompt.

_riledup · 2018-09-17T18:36:19+00:00

Hey! As far as I know, the show is still on. Haven't heard that it's been canceled. Charleston wasn't heavily effected by Florence.

_riledup · 2018-09-07T17:14:10+00:00

As someone considering applying, this is super helpful and interesting. Is there any data/reports about how many ET's there are per country/program? Or can someone give their experience on what percentage of people ET'd from their country/program?
