july 15

i will be leaving LA for Pago Pago (through honolulu) on July 15. i'm nervous. im scared. i feel unprepared. but i am excited for the year that lays ahead.

i may not know what it means to be a teacher but i believe that everyday that i prepare for this experience, every esl that i observe, every person that i talk to is teaching me something about the person that i will be when i step onto the island that will change my life.

i'm ready. i'm waiting. so much has to happen before july 15. how can i make it through everything. but i will. with the support of my family. the support of my friends. the support of people who believe in what i'm doing.

i thank you.
