Exciting News...Exciting Opportunities

In January of this year, I received probably some of the most exciting news in my life!  This summer I will be spending four to five weeks in India, my most favorite country in the entire world!
Since I was ten years old, I've wanted to live in India when I grew up.  The summer after I graduated from high school I was able to go on a two week trip to India, where I fell in love with the people and the culture.  The food was fabulous, the people were warm and welcoming, and the sights were eye-opening.  Along with seeing the Taj Mahal, we had the opportunity to visit a slum school where children of the lower castes were able to get an education otherwise not available to them.  When I say I fell in love with the people, I truly mean that I fell in love with these children, these students, who work so hard to learn when so many students I had just graduated with took their education for granted.
This upcoming trip is a dream come true for me!  I want to interact with the culture even more and help where I can.  I will be working with an organization called Project Rescue.  (You can find out more information about them by visiting their website: http://www.projectrescue.com/)  This will be a great opportunity to make a difference and learn where I can help later on in my life.  Someday my dream is to return to India and teach English for the rest of my life.  I know, it's a big dream and perhaps a little unusual for your average college kid in their 20's; but I always was a little different than your average kid.  ;)
I'm so very excited to go back to the home of my heart: India...
