We are lucky. This is our third service trip with School the World- our last as high school students- and we find ourselves thinking about our first trip a lot this week. We remember the excitement, challenges and nerves that come with breaking your comfort zone and traveling to a developing country for the first time.
Even though the snow piled higher and higher with every storm, the time to embark on our next journey to Guatemala couldn't come fast enough. The past months, weeks, and days had been spent waiting in anticipation for our trip over our February school vacation. But when we heard the news report of a 'blizzard warning' for the day we were supposed to depart, the freak-out set in. We couldn't bare the thought of the weather stopping us from getting to Guatemala.
