Fear

Hi everyone, I hope you all had a great holiday season and a Happy New Year. i just want to give you a update that i am about two thirds of the way of reaching my goal of $3000. I am very thankful for all the people that have donated to me to reach my goal.

Even though i know this trip will be filled with lots of excitement I still have some fears. One of my greatest fears about going on this trip is the safety because i have seen on the news that there are rebels and wars. Also that  I'm in a third world country and i have never been in one before, but I know I will be with responsible people and that they will take great care of us. 

One of the most difficult things that I will be dealing with I believe is what these kids go through and how they are living compared to us that we can eat three meals a day and as much water, but these kids cant. Also leaving the kids at the orphanage will be very difficult because I know we will grow such a great bond with the kids and have a great relationship.

From this experience I believe i will gather a huge new understanding on life. I believe I will see how life is so much different from how we live and how they live because they live with the bare minimums and we live with stuff we don't need. Also I believe that I will learn to take everything day of life as a privilege and life it to the fullest.
