Am I nervous? Hmmm... honestly not really nervous more anxious then anything. I have been waiting for this opportunity for what seems like forever, i'm excited to partake on this journey or next chapter in my life. As each day passes, I anticipate this upcoming experience, daydreaming about all the things I will do, learn, and the challenges I will overcome. My mind is running in a million and one directions and one of these days I will be able to focus enough to accomplish some things on my to-do list. I have 6.2 days left at work, 1.5 weeks in Nashville, about 3 weeks at home with my mom and friends, and even though I had since March to get things together, I didn't want to do anything too soon seeing as nothing is guaranteed until i'm on a plane heading to Africa.
As I slowly prepare for this 2 year adventure, I think about all the things that i'm actually prepared for and all the things that i'm sure will be a major challenge. I know i'm capable of teaching(Thank you Vandy/Peabody!), I know I have the capabilities to be empathetic towards those i'm around, I know that I will be able to accept the good with the bad and the people that come with both, I know I will be able to open my heart to those around me and care about them as if I known them forever(Thank you Mom), I know I will be able to practice patience and flexibility being ready for anything at any moment(Thank you Brandon, Chris, and Nick), I know that I will be able to be a good listener along with being able to open up and trust(Thank you Tabatha and Joe), I'm capable of believing there is still innocence in this crazy world(Thank you Briauna and Shaun), Capable of relying on support and providing it(Thank you friends).
I'm excited about this journey and more excited that I will have you(or maybe not) experiencing it with me.
