Closed doors, open doors, but do these doors have something in store for you, a room full of success, gratitude and happiness, or a room filled with pity and regret? There is something we all fear, some would say that clowns are horrific, or that the dark hides things no one can see, but in total is it really that we fear, or is fear our fear? My main concern for the trip is not that I will get hurt, or get sick but the kids being scared, or having negative emotions toward something. Balance comes in handy when you think that the evil has taken over, that the tunnel of darkness will not end, until you see a sliver of light, called hope.
So far, with my fundraising I have reached $3802 which is an amazing accomplishment, but I still need but a couple hundred for other necessary expenses. I am very grateful for all the help, the donations, and the wonderful people who have taken the time to read my fundraising letter and help me get to the amount of money I have as of now.
“We travel not to escape life, but for life not to escape us.” -Anonymous. To everyone you may seem only another one of the 7 billion people on this Earth, but you must know your worth, your success, and how you can be able to change this world of ours. There is good and bad, black and white, the things that people can’t see past. The things that happen as you may have heard are for a reason, there is always the things you dislike the things you would rather never exist, the things you are afraid of happening. The most eye-opening thing is that you, as a person can set your mind to anything you would like it to be, and let me elaborate more on that, you can tell yourself (not out loud, unless you want to) that you are, or I am healthy, happy, strong, funny, etc. These things will come your way.
I know that I have been absolutely terrified of heights ever since I can remember. This has not really stopped from doing things such as hiking, snowboarding, or even high ropes courses, because I told myself that the fear doesn’t own me, I own it.
My personal goals for this trip, are that I want to push myself to be the best person I know I can be. I want this trip to be not only a reality check, but that I can handle myself, and work even harder to almost be equivalent to what they have to do, how much they have to fight for a place and work for what they want to accomplish. Also, included with this, I want to be able to write the blogs, and the writing that I have to unleash as it did in my first blog, how I took that feedback/criticism to see, what I just typed to get done, versus thinking about how important this is to me and to the rest of the organization.
