I'm sitting at my computer at 1 am with friends who came to say goodbye, and it's crazy to think that later today Gabe and I will leave our family and the friends who are with me now and head to a new world full of adventures and hard work. Months of preparation, for the moment when we will board our airplane without knowing what lies ahead, have finally come to an end.
For the past few months Gabe and I have been raising money and collecting school supplies to contribute to a public school in Lima, Peru where we will be working as summer interns for High Cloud Foundation. We will experience the thrill of teaching English to students who are excited to learn and the challenge of leading projects to improve the quality of education for these students such as building new facilities and creating a library. Gabe and I are both nervous but ready to tackle what Peru has to offer.
My backpack is full, my passport is ready and I have said goodbye to all those I love. It's time to GO!
dear Issac, and Gabe
