So I had my meeting with Joanne today to go over all of those questions that I was waiting to ask about how I was chosen for my placement in the Ukraine. I went through my process with Joanne and explained how I had felt and how I am feeling now (awkward/excited!) and she told me about how my reaction was exactly what she expected... I think it is funny that through a short reflection of ones self that ones opinion about something can change so fast. Because now Africa is a past thought, although I would still love to go there and that experience would be amazing, there is a reason I am going to the Ukraine and now I am saying "BRING IT ON BABY!!!" .. ohh the excitement is building, the anticipation, the fear, the wonder, the nervousness, all of these other emotions that I wasn't having with Africa, all I was was excited for Africa... but the Ukraine, I get to learn another language in the actual country, how cool is that?! Pretty cool! I get to live with a family and see the smiles of so many children... oh yay! It is evident that I am now embracing all of these new challenges!
The adventure of the Ukraine awaits!!!
This makes me happy... for you! :D
ReplyDeleteBrie I am so proud of the way you are handling your placement announcement! I think you are right when you said that Africa wouldn't be a challenge for you, but Ukraine certainly will be and you are certainly strong enough to handle a challenge or else you wouldn't be here. Thanks for your great attitude! :D
