"Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you'll find one at the end of your arm ... As you grow older you will discover that you have two hands. One for helping yourself, the other for helping others."- Audrey Hepburn

Day Número UNO
I never thought that the 7th of July would ever get here. But here it is nonetheless. I can't believe I am sitting on an airplane starting the greatest thing that has ever happened to me. As I sit next to a soundly sleeping and snoring passenger, I can't help but to smile. I am completely slap happy. I have now left, the stress, the sadness, the terrifying feeling and I am welcoming whatever comes my way. If I forgot anything, it's too late now. I am branching my little wings and flying. Saying goodbye to my family and friends was hard, but what's coming next will make it all worth it. Looking out of a plane window is one of the most mesmerizing and God filled sights. The feeling of bring above the clouds and seeing pure blue skies above me, gives me this feeling that I am closer to God. That it is a straight shot up to Heaven with nothing in your way. Seeing the clouds below also has this essence that the world is upside down. Which is perfect for my life at this moment. My world is turning upside down more everyday and it's a beautiful thing. I want to thank all of you for sending me on this wonderful and beautiful journey of a lifetime. You have really touched my life in so many ways. To see the support you all gave me was overwhelming. Thank you for believing in me and take a chance on my dream. With your and God's help, I hope to change the world in any little way I can and come out a better and changed person. Please contact me with any questions and comments you wish to relay. If you would like to send an email, it is mgolike@uccs.edu. EI would love to hear from all of you and will reply as soon as possible!
