Where is this life taking me? I have a feeling any random stranger could give me a better answer than I can give myself. There are so many things I want to do, so many things that I want to see... I don't even know where to begin. The problem is, once I actually do get my foot in the door or find a way to begin, I'm scared to follow through. Taking a job at Yellowstone is a huge step for me; I'll be spending the entire summer away from home and will not know a single person there.
This past summer, even though I put myself in a completely different environment with people I had never met before and I place I had never even seen before, at least I was still in Indiana. If I didn't make any friends, got tired of camp, or just wanted to get away, I could go home for the weekend. In Wyoming, I have no place to go... no retreat. This will really give me the opportunity to get a taste of what I think I want for the rest of my life, though. If I can't handle being a couple of states away for 2 months, how could I handle being an entire ocean away in Kenya for student teaching for 4 months?? How could I handle being in the Peace Corps or being a missionary?
I'm excited and terrified. This could either be the best summer of my life or possibly the worst summer of my life. At least I'll have Old Faithful to keep me company.
