Hello all,
As I sit in the airport waiting to take off from Columbus, I am excited but so nervous. I am anxious and cannot wait to leave. I have a fear of flying but so far I am doing ok. Last night when going to sleep, I thought to myself, this will be the last night in my bed for two weeks. Now packing was very difficult. I found myself packing and repacking, but I was able to fit all of my clothes and shoes in it successfully.
My plan for my first trip overseas is to have a good time. I hope to learn a lot and enrich myself in the culture and beauty that surrounds me. I hope to also become more independent. Looking back at myself starting college freshmen year, I have seen myself grow so much as a person, becoming more independent and confident in myself as a person. With this trip I hope to grow that much more as a person. While overseas I hope I push myself to explore as much as possible and take in all of my surroundings. I hope to try new foods, speak to the public about my nursing project, and shop!

Now I am off to England! Wish me luck and safe travels.
