Hola Amigos!
Just 7 more days guys!!! Surprisingly, the first semester of
my college year went extremely fast and even though the stress of final exams
was slow to wane, I can call myself a survivor. Now, all I can think of is our
trip to Guatemala! I can’t wait to meet new people at our trip and immerse
myself into a unique culture. I am wondering what kind of foods they eat there
and what kinds of past times kids and adults have. I want to lavish in the 70
degrees weather in the middle of January when most of my friends will be
cuddled up in blankets. I’m also hoping to make use of my unpolished Spanish
skills here and there. Maybe force myself to make a real conversation with
someone entirely in Spanish and see what my five years of Spanish class
rendered me.
But most of all, I want this experience to be of two fold
results. One in which our efforts are largely devoted to the Community
Development Project and second, more internalized, result is of self-discovery.
I hope I can extract a message out of all the things we will do to bring back
home and share it with friends and family. Like a carbon-copy experience where
everything is ingrained in my mind for me to take wherever I go next. From the
people I meet, the places I go, to the things I do. Maybe its like living a
lifetime in ten days. But that’s not too much to ask for.
