Here. We. Go.
Tomorrow I embark on a journey with 5 students to the beautiful country of Nicaragua, where we will be volunteering at Escuela Especial Sor Maria Romero, a school for students with special needs. So severely disabled that travel is not an option, we will be making daily trips to volunteer in students’ homes.
I have a slightly elevated level of anxiety going into this trip, as it will be my first time in Nicaragua. As was last year with my first trip to Cambodia, my stomach is fluttering with butterflies, and fluttering may be an understatement-I have that euphoric feeling one gets before making a monumental step or decision in their life, accompanied with some nausea...no big deal.
As an educator and a mother, not only do I know that I can make a big impact in Rivas, Nicaragua, but the students and teachers will be even more impactful upon my character, fostering my personal growth and sense of global awareness.
I look forward to this challenge and opportunity.
Thank you, Lisamarie, for making it happen!
Buenas Noches. xoxo
