The day has come. My bags are packed, and I was able to barely fit my life into two suitcases. Now all I have to do is wait (I'm literally counting down by the hour).
People keep asking me the same question: "Are you nervous?" Honestly: No. My nerves left at Christmas. Don't get me wrong, the idea of leaving my life behind depressed me greatly for awhile. However, I now see my sadness was a good thing, because it let me know I truly love what I'm leaving behind: my family, Hope College, my friends, The 'Plex, my '11 Playgirls, and Holland. Luckily, those things aren't going anywhere -- they'll be here when I get back.
As of right now, I have no idea what's in store. I have no clue what my schedule will look like, who I will encounter, who I will befriend, where will I go, who I will teach, how will I get there. What I do know is I have been blessed with this opportunity, and I will make the most of it.
No turning back now...
