In five weeks I will be getting ready to fly out the following morning. I feel extremely grateful that my dad will be traveling with me to Halifax; it will be nice to start this journey with a loved one. I made a list of my biggest fears and hopes pre-departure, so at the end of my journey I can look back and see whether my fears were rational or not and whether my hopes are fulfilled.
Fears:
- I will be one of few who are there to learn more than I party
- I will not be able to keep up with the course load
- Opposite of above: I will be board, and have too much time to think about home
- I will not be able to find family in Greece/ they wont be nice
- I will not be a good roommate
- I won’t be able to successfully lead a bible study
Hopes:
- Learn what I want to do with my life/ my place in the world
- Be more independent, and more grateful for the people in my life
- Find something new in myself, something that will become part of me for life
- Come to a conclusion about world culture and how American culture fits into it
- Expand my historical knowledge
- Learn enough about each port to decide whether I want to pursue my studies in it for HIST407
I really can’t wait to look back at the end of this ordeal to see whom I turn out to be. I am most certain that this trip will be life changing and God will lead the way.
