Wow. I can't believe it. When I started the application last November it seemed like this day was so far away.
Well, the last few weeks has been really bittersweet. I had to say some of the hardest goodbyes I have ever had to make to some of the greatest people on this planet. I can't even describe how much it hurt to leave my Epiphany family, my home in Boston, all my friends whom I feel like are apart of my very being, my soul mates, and my family at home. If anything were going to make me reconsider, it is not what I am going to face, instead what I am leaving behind. However, I was also blessed with a rare chance to see, hear, and feel how truly loved I am by all those people I had to say goodbye to. That love and closeness is one of the many things I am going to realize I take for granted so much while living home. It was such an incredible and soul-touching feeling to be so loved by students, family, and friends. I also realized how much everyone has impacted my life and taught me thus far, therefore although I am leaving it is not really goodbye but see ya later; wise words from Diamond one of my great students at Epiphany. So, in short. I LOVE YOU and I thank you for all you have done.
I am about to go do some great work, have some incredible experiences, live very differently, challenge myself, and grow a ton. All in all, I can't wait!!! I will be posting regularly on this with updates, information, pictures, and love. I am also putting up a contact information post so that you can all stay in touch with me as often as possible.
It is not very often that one gets to accomplish ones dreams so early in life or that one can make such a meaningful change in ones life. I really am truly grateful to have this opportunity and I am going to pledge to you all that I will do my best and be my best at serving the country I am going and telling my new family and friends about everyone back home. =)
