Destiny “You may be moved in a direction You do not understand, Away from the safe, the familiar, Toward a vision that is blurry, Yet still pounds against the doors of your dreams, Prays for recognition, Petitions for understanding, Whispers for acceptance. Out toward distant possibilities, You are propelled by a fire, You will never fully comprehend, But cannot extinguish.”-Susan Rogers Norton             As the date is getting closer and closer until I am in a whole different part of the world, in a different way of life, doing something that I feel like I am destined for I am counting down the days until I will be there.

I can’t believe this amazing experience has come to an end. In some ways I also so feel like it is a begging for me because, I am so much more open minded to everything that comes my way and am so much more grateful for all the things I have. All the kids from 3 years old to 16 years old have impacted my heart forever and I will never forget them. I have experienced so many incredible things this week. Some of the most amazing things have also been the most heart wrenching things. For example I went on a home visit on Thursday. The girls name was Julissa she was 24 years old and had Cerebral Palsy. She looked like she had a beautiful personality and could have lots of potential. She was very skinny and her legs were the size of my arm. She also had bed sores all over her face because her parents leave her in her so called “room” for most of the time. Unfortunately with all the potential she could have her parents didn’t really care for her. The first thing that I noticed when we...
