Eight days until I’m flying out of the country for the first time in my life!!! I’m excited but I am so nervous! I haven’t left home longer than 6 days at most. But 14? Its making me anxious for sure! I’m afraid I might forget something on my list, even though I’ve checked it so many times. My family is extremely eager to read my future blogs and learn all about what I’m doing down in the Dominican Republic.
My grandparents spent a few weeks in the Dominican a few years ago, so they continuously giving me tips on what to do and what not to do there. I find it really calming that my family had gone there, and they enjoyed their time there. I am going to miss my parents, dogs, boyfriend, and my best friend. I see them all the time!! I’m really excited to be in a warm place in the middle of January! I can’t wait to be able to wear shorts again. Even though I get really warm easily, I think it won't be too bad, hopefully! I’m really pumped for ziplining and the monkeys. But I’m also really excited to do my first research project and see what the schools down there look like. As a Cohort we decided to get some items from the school's wish list to bring and I’m happy about that. It makes me happy knowing that were able to provide the things that the schools need to thrive. It was sad to see that some things on the wish list wouldn’t be things I would think are hard to get. That really made me sit back and think about all the stuff we take for granted. Overall, I’m really excited to have this opportunity and I can't wait to see what’s in store for me in these coming weeks!
