Fears and Goals

  Our trip to Tanzania is approaching and the reality of going to another country is coming into focus.  I have been thinking about this trip a lot and going over what will be the most challenging and important thing that I will achieve on this trip.  That thing is teaching a class of students that you have never met.  This is supposed to be a fear but you have to overcome your fears so I see it as an opportunity to challenge myself.  Overcoming this will help me appreciate my teachers and help improve my confidence in expression.  My plan is to go for it and jump right in because that will push me out of my comfort zone forcing me to adapt and teach.  

  This is now my third trip with Children's Global Alliance and my personal goals change every time.  My goals change not because I'm going on a different trip but because I am achieving them.  This trip I am going to hop right in and not back away.  I want to achieve this because I am not always the first one to do something. These trips allow my to develop skills that I would never have known about.  I plan to achieve this by just going for it and being myself.  I'm very excited for this trip and am counting on making the most of every moment I spend in Tanzania.
