A Reflection on Things since I have been back

So. Hello world! Yes I know. I kind of stopped updating after a period of time. I miss Mexico. I always feel close to the place, the people, the air. I have been back for over a month now. My family was very kind to me, and I miss them. Luis Carlos, Dulce, Rita, Melow. I miss them. It is odd how you can live with people and form a connection with them. Hm. Well, I hope I can go back next year. Mr. John mentioned in passing that in awhile, if I felt comfortable with it, he would be ready to pass on the technology in the schools to me. If it is true, I am super pumped. I would love to do that. It is something that I always wanted to work with. And now that internet is connected up there, or at least in the process of getting up, it means more opportunities for the kids! The possibilities! I hope City Year doesn't prevent me from going back next year...

Speaking of City Year. It is official. I am going to Boston for August 19th! Can you believe it? For the longest time I thought I would be staying in Louisiana. I really did. I didn't think I would be going, but things are working out. I have TOPS on hold, a house, roommates, things just seem to be working out!

I am happy I guess. Decent as usual. I think I am actually going to miss Louisiana. I mean, at first I didn't care. But now I don't want to leave Momo or Travis. I really do care about them. I haven't volunteered at ASAP with Healing Place in a long time, and I think of Trey, Aleya, and Nick. I hop they are doing okay. I feel bad I won't be able to tutor there with them...

All I can do is hope this is what I am supposed to do and go with it. I can't look back. Everytime I do I get pushed further back. I have to keep moving.
