I am sitting at JFK airport waiting on the flight to London Heathrow and then the flight to Entebbe. Mama and Dad dropped me off at the Myrtle Beach airport. The flights to JFK were fine, which is what I like.
Now that I am on my way and no longer worried about packing (my bag weighed in at exactly 50 pounds!!), I am excited about returning to Uganda. On my flight from Charlotte to JFK, I sat beside a couple from Lynchburg, VA, who were traveling to Israel. We got to talking, and they were very interested in my trip to Uganda. We had a really nice conversation, and I realized once again the amazing opportunity that I have ahead of me for the next 6 weeks. I know that like last year, what I learn will be far more than what I teach.
While I am so excited about reconnecting with friends, I am also excited about the possibilities of a new adventure. I am with new people, will be at a new school, and have a year of maturity (or immaturity) under my belt. My expectations are different although I don’t think I am sure exactly what they are. I just know they are not the same as last year.
Here’s to old friends and new adventures…
