As the summer days fly by and our trip to India that once seemed so far away is now just around the corner, I’m not going to lie: I’ve started to become a little nervous, but anxious as well. I’ve never experienced something like this before. However, at the same time, I am very eager to take part in such a life-changing trip. Teaching, mentoring, and coaching are all aspects I’d like to pursue in my future. While simultaneously trying to listen and ignore my dad’s consistent advice about safety and health, this trip will be a great challenge – but a fun one; one I can’t wait to experience and achieve. I am thrilled to go with my classmate, teammate, and best friend Jon Metzgar, along with my coach, teacher, and new advisor. Having these two guys with me will lessen my feelings of homesickness, nervousness, and the like. I also can’t wait to meet the others going with us and develop new and lasting friendships. Another one of the aspects that convinced me to go on this trip was the fact that I’ll have the opportunity to meet these young, aspiring kids, change their lives, and create unique and lasting friendships with them as well. A passionate photographer, I’m going to bring my camera to try to capture hopefully all of these special moments.
I can’t wait until this Friday comes and we take off for such a life-changing experience.
