Today I woke up like I do every other day. The difference was that today I start my two day trip to reach western Africa. Saying farewell to my parents, little brother and grandma was odd. Not that it was awkward but because i've never left home for longer than 1 month the idea of 4 months hadn't registered with me like it had them. It was emotional, however, i'm going to use those excited tears as motivation to have the best 4 months a child could have. I understand my parents tears spawned from happiness and excitement for my great adventure to come. So I want to come back to my mom and tell her about horizons unimaginable, and places unfathomable. And because my mom was a great pilot I will have to "adventure" hard for me to succeed with this goal.
