i have been in chile for around a week now. i have nothing too significant to complain about. the occasional homesickness. but no big deal. i walk to and from school everyday. i have different classes each day. the teachers and people are nice. well so far.  it has been a great first week. and i am blessed to have been given this experience. =)

Youth Exchange Creed

"this is my experience. Many have been here before and many will follow, but this time is mine. My journey will present numerous doors to unlimited opportunities. Some of these doors will be open, some will be closed. but one thing i  know for certain: They key to all doors lies within.

Today

It's 3:32 in the morning. I leave today. yay! :) It's weird thinking I won't be here for a year and I will be experiencing new things by myself without my family or friends.

away from homeaway from home

I just spent the last week in tahoe with my family. It was only a week and I was ready to go home by the end of the week. This makes me a little nervous for my trip. How am I going to spend ten months away from home when I get homesick after a week in tahoe?
