One, is something very much new and exciting for me. Tomorrow morning I am leaving the country and I am flying to a whole other continent. I am going on a mission with the charity Operation Smile, to Mexico. There, I will encounter new people, cultures, and food. I will grow more as a person, and get to connect with children who have cleft lip and/or cleft palate. This cause is close to my heart, because I had a cleft lip and palate when I was born. I was fortunate enough to be born into a country where I could get surgery, speech therapy, and dental work- all for free. For the children who don't have that opportunity, they put their faith in Operation Smile. I am excited to help educate these children about basic healthcare and to brings smiles into their lives.
The other adventure, is my road trip through college. Tomorrow I get my results. These very results will determine my next four years, and hopefully I will attain the points I need to get the course I really want. My long journey through college is both exciting and different.
These two experiences will both be a part of my life experience, and I will learn so much from them. They are both different journeys, but in the end, they will shape me as a person.
Lastly, I want to take the time to acknowledge a legendary person who died this week. Robin Williams was a man of great talent, and great character. His acting was witnessed, and still is, by people of all ages. I will never forget the place he has in my childhood, giving the performance of his life in movies like Aladdin and Mrs. Doubtfire.
I will try to blog about my mission experience as I go along, but it may be difficult to do so every day.
Until next time,
Sarah
