Nicaragua, Morocco, & Tanzania

I know this is an assignment but as I was flying to North Carolina to see my family I was asking myself these three questions over and over again in my head. What is my biggest fear of going on this trip, what will be the most difficult part of this experience,  and what ways will I change. To be honest with you I don't know really where to start because, I can't even tell you how many times I have ran over these questions in my head and trying to put this thought on paper is unreal. But it feels relieving being able to tell it to people on my blog. My biggest fear well there are tons that I could say. One is what if I am not able to handle all the emotions and I am terrible at just letting it all out and just talking to someone. But I know that my group will be super supportive and knowing that we are all going though this together will make me feel so much more comfortable with talking to people. Another one is what if I don't know how to handle the kids...

  I know this might sound cheese and you have probably heard this quote numerous times but no matter how many times you might hear ‘Everything Happens for a reason” its true and there is always a story behind it and its not always the best story but the story mostly always ends up having a great life lesson behind it.     “Everything happens for a reason” my lesson behind this is not everything might go your way like it might be someone not showing up on time to your event or, their equipment when there are lots kids waiting for music, and you are thinking of everything that could possible go wrong in that moment. That’s happened to show me that you need to have faith and patience in your friends and group, and in anything you do. Or you missed a deadline and you don't know how to handle the situation. Even if you are thinking about giving up you know you can't because you know that it all happen to teach you a lesson, and you know everything will turn out ...

On Friday my fundraising team had a bake sale. It was at Homestake Peak school. Alexis and I held the bake sale but if it wasn't for are team we would have never raised all of are money. Tyler baked delicious macaroons. Sophia made some pretty mean cookies that sold tremendously well. Alexis and I made brownies and cupcakes. We also ordered North Side Café's donuts. With all of these yummy goods we raised $164 when are goal was only $100. Alexis and I were very happy and we cant wait to do another bake sale. We are also looking forwarded to are dance on December 6th. Hope everyone can get the word out.  

Yesterday was my fundraising team seconded meeting. We covered are dances and what the theme is going to be I think I will be a TON  of fun. We also went over are team name which is  TEAM NICA . I helped everyone on how to set up for followers on their blog. Next we went over some of the more little fundraisers. Also on the posters and flyer designs which Ms., Salazar came up with a really cool idea. I am super exited to get are fundraisers going and another step closer to Nicaragua.

It was my first team meeting on Tuesday. I couldn't believe I was actually finally at one and that it was happening at that I am now in the amazing life changing journey to Nicaragua. At the meeting we assembled are fundraises teams and shared are ideas. My team is Alexis Salazar, Sophia Minar, and Tyler. I am so exited to start this journey with my fundraising team and also just the group that is going to Nicaragua. Also to tell everyone along the way.
