So Close!

Only 3 more days until we will be Spain bound! I cannot believe that we are leaving so soon! It does not seem real! I am extremely excited, however I am also nervous and anxious. I know that I am going to be faced with different situations and some of them may make me uncomfortable, however I am prepared to welcome these situations as learning opportunities! It will be interesting to see what is ahead!

Thought Before Departure

I am extremely excited to go on this amazing journey to a foreign country that has so much to offer. I love Spanish and I hope that I can excel even more by improving how fluent I am able to speak the language as well as build my vocabulary. I cannot wait to interact with the natives and experience their intriguing culture first-handedly. I am so glad that we will be able to fully emerge ourselves in their culture and soak up everything that they have to share with us. It really is a once in a lifetime experience to be able to do this. I am excited to meet all of the other teens on trip and I cannot wait to get to know them and listen to their stories. I am extremely interested in what the staff, the teens, and the natives have to say and I;m excited to learn about their individual stories. I am looking forward to soaking up the sun, the culture, and the experience.

Almost here

Only 16 more days! I'm so excited! I cannot believe that it is almost here, it does not seem real. I can't wait to meet all of the kids on the program and my home stay family. The Spanish culture and sun is only weeks away! : )
