My heart is so full of dreams for the future.

As I embark on my last semester in high school, what lies ahead is almost constantly on the forefront of my mind.  

I dream of chaco tans and feet so dirty I can’t even attempt to guess the original skin tone.

 

I dream of the new friends I will make and what we will experience together.  I am almost giddy at the thought of the laughter we will share, the exhaustion we will encounter, and the adventures we will go through!  

I dream of early mornings somewhere in Asia, catching glimpses of the sunrise as I get ready for the day; late nights in Africa, staring at the multitude of stars I was never able to see through the smog of Tulsa skies; rainy days in Central America, trudging through mud and puddles while attempting to make conversation with the locals.
