So here I sit with my loved ones in my hometown of Reading, PA with only three days until I leave for Samoa!  I am anxious, excited and unfortunately sick. Nonetheless, I am doing everything that I can to prepare to be away from my friends and family for so long. I have never been away from them for this long, but I couldn’t imagine a better way to spend my time.  

It will be hard to leave my loved ones, but I am really really looking forward to this internship!  Samoa, here I come!
