Where I Need to Be

So I have been thinking lately about how strange it is here. I have developed a life here. I have my friends, places I hang out, and my own routine. It is such a good feeling to be so independent. You are forced to figure things out and if you don't then you just deal with it. I am loving it here and am learning a lot about myself.

I have been trying soooo hard to separate myself from the other volunteers because then it will be one less thing I have to say goodbye to but I can't do it anymore. I am just getting along with some of them so well. Whatever happens happens and I am not going to worry about the future and saying goodbye.

This is what I want to do with the rest of my life. I need to be doing something new and exciting. University is going to be focused on cultural studies and photography so that I can use that in some way to do this.

I don't have much else to say. Things are the same and that is good. I am growing and learning. I thought I knew a lot before I came here but I was wrong. 1 week until my parents come! I know that I made the right decision coming here. I am where I need to be for both myself and these children. I am ready for whatever life has in store for me.
