Pre-Departure Reflection

Tomorrow I'm leaving for Tanzania, and I'm filled with feelings of dread and excitement. Overall, I'm stoked that my journey is about to begin. I'm terrible at packing, so hopefully I bring the right clothes and equipment. But I think all I need to succeed is an open mind and an open heart. I hate to say goodbye to all my friends, who will probably be in college by the time I get back, but I'm excited to make new friends and absorb a brand new culture.
