It's been one hell of a ride. A year of ups and downs, twists and turns and now it's here: the day I finally leave for the third world. I have tons of conflicting feelings. I'm scared, nervous, excited, sad, happy; it's weird, but I think most good things make you feel somewhat strange. I'm going to miss everyone terribly. I'm not sure what to expect but I'm sure it'll be awesome.
I want to thank everyone for giving me an amazing summer. My family and friends for being so supportive, without you this wouldn't be possible. I wish everyone well while I'm gone. I know the world I know will be gone forever after today. Everyone will be moving on to the next phases in their lives, new friends, relationships, all and all wonderful things. Change is a beautiful thing.
I hope some of you come visit, so I can hopefully share a small amount of Africa with you. Keep me in your thoughts and prayers, you'll defiantly be in mine.
I love you all dearly,
Hunter
P.S.
