Open up!!


Since I purchased my tickets to Haiti, it all feels more real. I have many questions. I can’t come back to the states to get something I should have brought! I have been a step ahead of myself to make sure everything is complete before we depart. I am ready.

Some of the questions I ask myself:
How often do I get to bathe?
Am I going to be uncomfortable EVERY DAY with the heat?
What will the food taste like?
Will I cry every time I see children full of sincerity and will I be able to control myself?

I do hope I can learn new techniques on cooking and eating healthier. I look forward to exercising daily and being around people filled with appreciation and hope.
  
I really don’t know what to expect, and how can I? And now that it feels more real, I am feeling more nervous.

To be truthfully honest, I still haven’t created a curriculum. My goal is to dedicate time to it in the month of June, and I HAVE to get it done because we leave June 27th. My struggle is, I need real time to dedicate to it. It MUST be done, and it will be. I have time now that I put my two weeks in at Wal-mart.
One more… fear. I have become so comfortable with myself, as in being alone and doing everything on my own, and I know that  I will be surrounded fully by hope and endurance, when for so long I have been surrounded by individuals with selfish intentions and actions.

It seems evident that I do expect some things. How prepared can I possibly be?
