Life Changing Experiences

Day 17-Something you're looking forward to 



INDIA! 


I am going to India this summer with Rising Star Outreach. This program is something that I have been excited to work with for three years. I have been raising money for the last 5 (or so) months to be able to go. Look at these children. Don't they just look so incredibly happy? I will be working with them, and be able to play with them, teach them, and just be a friendly face for them to be happy around!


I have a friend, Kenzie Coe, who went with the program two summers ago. Here is her blog that you can read and see more of what goes on. 

Also, I am going to be doing study abroad in Germany for a semester. I haven't decided if I will do it this next fall or in fall of 2013. However, I have my application in and have been accepted! So, this is something that I am so incredibly excited for this. I can understand what people say in german, and I can read and write it, however I get very nervous to respond because I don't want to mess up. It also takes me a while to process what they have said if it is more than just one line. I am so excited for this experience to help me with my communicating skills in german!
