I was accepted to be a world racer the first semester of my senior year of college. I knew I would be finishing college and graduating and then launching. I was prepared for a lot of work with giving time to fundraising and preparing for the world race and finishing up my last semester of classes and preparing for graduation at the same time. It has taken a lot of prayer and time management when it comes to my daily life and keeping up with two huge goals in life. I have been so thankful that Christ everyday has reminded me I made the right decision in pursuing my dreams and working towards going on the World Race. Not a day goes by I regret answering the call to be a World Racer. What makes it all so great is I have a team of amazing friends and family praying for me, encouraging me, and keeping my eyes on the prize and its the best prize the world could give me and that is the love of the Lord. It is hard to be in college and be preparing for the World Race, but it has strengthened me physically and spiritually. There are days I wish I could just devote my life 100% percent to nothing but prayer and preparing for the World Race, but finishing my degree and getting certified to counsel with victims of crisis and trauma circumstances and victims of criminal and non-criminal acts is the best preparing possible, to help better myself to help when I am out in the field. With every day of class I am one step to closer to making the difference I have always wanted to make. I know the day I launch all my hard work will be all worth it and a sense of relief and readiness will flow through me, because that will be the day I fulfilled my dream. Advise to all those in college and preparing for the World Race, keep your heart strong in the Lord, pray everyday and all day, and rejoice because you are following the footsteps of Christ, he will not lead you in the wrong direction.
