A very common question I get asked when I explain what I’m doing next year is, “How did you even make that decision?”
Well. This might sound weird but this was the easiest decision I’ve ever had to make.
As I endlessly mull over which college to attend after my Gap Year, what prom dress to wear this year, or even what to eat for lunch today (I’m kinda an indecisive person), I’ve realized I’ve never questioned or gone back on my decision to go on this trip.
From the moment I read about what happens on this trip, I knew this was for me and I haven’t hesitated since.
And you would think this decision wouldn’t be easy to make.
My three best friends are all going to the same college next year. Without me. In fact, all of my peers are going to college without me. My boyfriend even broke up with me because I’d be gone for too long. Plus there’s the price, the realization of not seeing my family or friends for nine months, the stress of fundraising, the struggle of putting all my trust in God, the dread of spending future rainy nights in a tent, the acceptance of not having a good shower for too long, and so many other uncertainties.
But I’ve never been more sure about anything in my whole life.
I guess, when you know, you know.
