The start of something new

What can I say about nashvile? Well at first I didn't want to go and as heidi said I only picked this trip because I couldn't get my money back for the galapagos and I was planning on transferring at the end of the semester. Well this trip changed my mindset. I realized while being here helping everyone that this is the place for me. This is just what the flood victims must have thought when they wanted to stay there and rebuild, this is their home. Everyone is starting anew and if they're strong enough starting from scratch I can too! As the trip came to an end I realized it was only just the beginning. We helped to give them a fresh start just as nova has given me. People came together for one common cause And many have probably made lifelong friendships out of this trip or just built upon the ones they had. As with the homes it is time to take all you are given and watch it blossom. This trip opened everyone up to something new and I'm glAd I had the chance to have had this experience!
