On May 11th I'll be getting onto a plane and flying Guatemala. During these next few weeks I'll be studying for finals, checking my travel checklists several times, and saying goodbye to close friends that will be graduating 2 days before I board the plane.
There are a few things that I am struggling with currently. The first thing is saying goodbye to my friends who will moving away. Two friends to be exact. One will be moving to Tulsa, and the other to Texas. Time is flying by and with finals and this trip coming up fast it is hard to find time to spend time with them which makes it hard for me to control my emotions. I am excited for May 11th but then sad for May 10th because that will be the last day I will see my two friends for an unknown amount of time.
The second thing is the unknown about my trip to Guatemala. I have been over seas but to countries that spoke English. I was also with my family and basically followed my dad around. This time overseas I will be with people I have yet to meet, living with a host family that not only have I also have never met but they also do not speak English. Since I have never been in this situation before I am not sure how I will handle it. On what level will I have culture shock? Even though I am nervous I am also confident that this trip will be something that I will not regret!
