I know that this is the opportunity of a lifetime...and a great honor to be selected to serve as a member of the Semester at Sea team. So why is so difficult?
Preparing for this SAS trip has been one of the most involved things I've ever done...its been emotionally, physically (moving, several doctors visits, multiple vaccinations, malaria prevention pills etc...) and financially draining. I gave up my apartment and put all of my belongings in a storage unit, left my job, am anticipating draining my savings account, yada yada yada...
But with all of that said...the hardest part of leaving to pursue a long-time dream, has been leaving the people I love. I know this isn't good-bye and I will come back to you... I hope that while it may be from a distance, in my travels and in my work on board the ship, that we may be a source of strength for each other.
The Barn Month...December 8, 2007 - January 15, 2008.
