An education abroad. Not far in physical distance but quite a ways from the emotional and lifestyle I had at home. It's a big world out there, but when I reminisce of experiences I get the feeling that challenges and obstacles we face daily aren't all that brutal. I am grateful for being alive... breathing, awake! I have the stregth to help people in need and the skills to teach people how to produce food! This body can take tremendous stress and my mind is a gigantic mystery waiting to be unlocked! I have no delusions that this first week of school will be hard but I know there are greater men and women who have gone before me and achieved pinnacles of wisdom no one could see coming! It is with tears of joy and pleasure that I consider the precious gift of oppertunity which has been laid out before me... Let my family know I love them. This is my deepest wish. I hope I can make you proud! Indeed, let us all try our best to appreciate each other more then ever.
