Here I go! I am currently sitting in the JFK airport waiting for my flight to Frankfurt.
This weekend was a roller coaster of emotions. Saturday I left my parents from LAX and cried my eyes out. It was very difficult leaving them and realizing I wouldn't be seeing any of my family or friends for over two years. Once I arrived in Philadelphia I was still emotional and then I met a few of the others in my group and felt better. I think knowing that the others in my group are experiencing the same emotions makes me feel like I am ok and am in the right place. I felt nervous int he airport but now I am still not that nervous.
Staging yesterday went really well. We got a brief overview of what is expected of us, the Peace Corps expectations, and what to expect. Our group has 38 volunteers and only 6 of us are business volunteers, the rest are all education. We all get along great and I am excited to be starting this journey with them all.
Thank you for all of your prayers and good wishes, I really appreciate them. I really feel blessed to have so many people supporting me. I love you all! :)
