My journey is going to start with a Southbound train. The train will stop in New York City. Just over three years ago the city captured my heart, and now there are many people here who are close to my heart.
Then I am going to get on a plane that is headed for adventure, because adventure has always made my heart beat. The plane will land in Guatemala. It was here that I witnessed a remarkable act of selfless love, and it deeply moved my heart.
I am going to meet people from different cultures because a while back I learned a tough lesson about appreciating diversity and from it my heart grew stronger.
I am going to help with a soccer camp for Nicaraguan girls because this sport has given my heart much joy.
I am going to stand in awe of breathtaking mountains and boundless seas because the hand that made them also holds my heart.
After all that I am going to come back and walk across a graduation stage because all the papers and exams and lectures enriched my mind, some of which trickled down to my heart.
But then I am going to spend two months at a camp in the quaint town of Golden, Missouri. It was here that my heart first found some long-term direction.
I am going to go to a couple of weddings because it is good to celebrate, and this will probably give hope to my heart.
And then I am going to wander, most likely in the South because I think I am a Southern girl at heart.
