… to take risks

… to eventually take to journaling and blogging

… to have my eyes opened

… to be paranoid about mosquitoes

… to make some new best friends

… to be brave

… to figure out if this is a one time thing or a life calling

… to worry about my family back home

… to let go of perfection

… to cry and be overwhelmed at what I’ll experience

… to open up to others 

… to be organized 

… to encourage others

… to surprise myself and my family

… to try lots of new things

… to read a few books

… to want to live outside the USA afterwards

… to be changed 

… to love this!
