Takeoff

The first blog is always the most challenging you have no idea what to write yet so many thoughts and ideas. As I sit in the airport people watching, moms struggling with their strollers, and dads carrying 5 overweight bags at once. I get a burst of emotion a combination of nerves, excitement, sadness, liberation, anxiety, and joy. I'm doing exactly what I set my mind to do since getting to USF and that is traveling. This past year has been a roller coaster that has made me a stronger and wiser person. As I set to board a 15hr flight to Dubai my eyes fill with tears I think about what this 10 week journey to India really means, I think about the amazing friends and family I have in my life, and I think that I'm so grateful and blessed to be living out a dream that I envisioned for myself. I once heard someone say "Faith is taking the first step even when you can't see the staircase" this 10 weeks I will be challenged and be taken outside of my comfort zone. Although I don't know what this journey holds I'm excited for everything that comes with it!
Peace & Love
