As day six roles around, it's hard to believe that our gap year has only just started. It feels as though these people have been apart of my life for years now, and i only met them a few short days ago. these first couple of weeks are spent getting to know the other students and leaders as well as taking a few classes; basically going over all the logistical crap that no one wants to talk about, but we all know we have to...We play different sports everyday and games that help us "bond". Tomorrow we're going backpacking. That will be cool cause I have never really been backpacking and I wanted to do a gap year that would force me to do things that were out of my comfort zone, so here we go.
Not gonna lie...the first couple of days, i questioned whether or not this was the right decision. "Crap. What the heck am i doing here?", i thought. I was sure that i was supposed to be at college and that i had just screwed myself over. HA. plot twist: God quickly reminded me of all of the stuff i went through the past couple of years to get to this place and of all the people i met who pointed me to gap year. Seeing pictures of friends in colleg
e and the gals in their sororities definitely made me question my decision. BUT i know for a fact my fellow gap year friends will be the friends that i keep for the rest of my life. I have definitely made the right decision.
At the end of next week, our group will split. Some of the team will go to Philadelphia while the rest of us will travel to Denver. Honestly, that kind of sucks because of how close both groups have gotten. But, it will be a really cool growing experience for everyone as we enter the real world. We all have internships that we are responsible for getting to on time on our own and in our own way. I will be working for the Denver Place Bridge Academy, assistant teaching in a kindergarten class. As we move into the "adult" part of our lives, pray for us...Please. Well, that's really all I have to say.
