Let the rest of the world have you for a little while.

And there were all these inside jokes, there were pictures, there were inspirational quotes, there were future maid of honors, there were perfect...

I was accepted today
as a YES Abroad Semi-Finalist. If I’m chosen as a Finalist, I’ll be away from my home, my school, my community, and my family for an entire year. I have so many choices to make right now…. I have to accept my position as a Semi-Finalist tomorrow in order to get an interview in Denver. Choices. Choices. So many choices.
