You may be wondering, why I chose to take this trip and why now? I guess you could just say it was a calling. It just finally seemed to be the right time to go home and experience where I came from.

This month of November the seniors in my high school were given this month off to study and prepare for our expeditions. While studying I have come across some shocking and unexpected feelings. Some of which has come from the books I have been reading, specifically sections on loss. Also some tears have been shed just from watching movies that were filmed and based in India itself, in terms of the overwhelming environment that I will have to face when I arrive. Things such as, the very busy streets and the noise. Some of these emotions may only get stronger as the trip nears, but I believe that what gets stronger in this sense can only further prepare me for the journey...
