As I begin preparations for this trip, I'm beginning to realize that I don't really know what I am doing. I have a lot to learn and grow through. I am learning a lot already with fundraising, connecting with people, and managing my schedule. I'm grateful to say, I have improved in these areas over the last few weeks. As many people can attest to, teenagers can easily get sidetracked and not do something that they where supposed to. This has been my largest area of growth as I get ready for the trip as I must hold my self accountable because no one else will.

I am looking forward to seeing how I will grow on this trip based on how much I have been growing already. God has a plan for me and I look forward to finding out more about what it is.
