July 19, 2014 is the
first of many dates of unforgettable moments in my life. It's one day before
our flight and the beginning of my own journey to self empowerment. I can only
improve from now on and it makes me very happy to know that I will come out a better
human being. I go in with a positive attitude and an open mind and heart, ready
to soak this whole experience in.
Right now I am feeling a
mixture of emotions like excitement, anxiety, pleasure and stress because I can
not seem to find my wallet. I started to pack early so I would have enough time
to sleep and stay awake during the plane ride. This is my first plane ride ever
and I am not sure how I will react when the plane actually lifts off and we are
left soaring thousands of feet above the ground. I imagine myself holding onto
the sides of my seat and just counting every hour until I can finally get off.
Can you tell that I have a fear of heights yet? Or who knows, I might become an
addiction to traveling from then on.
I don't think my parents
have yet to realize the fact that I will be away for three weeks because they
still ask me if I am sure about leaving. I mean, there is nothing I can do now
even if I wanted to change my mind (which I won't because my mind is set
already). I know it is hard for them to let me go but I have to learn how to do
things for myself. I appreciate this opportunity that I was given and will make
the most of it.
I can't wait to meet new
people and, most importantly, make new relationships and connections with them.
Quote if the day:
journey --> personal growth
We should not judge
people by their peak of excellence; but by the distance they have traveled from
the point where they started.

My guess is, Magaly, that you'll take off long before your plane ever leaves the ground.
