The reason that I have started this blog the day before leaving is the fact that so many of the good blog names have already been taken so it has been really hard to find a name. My sister and I decided on the name see it come true, it is taken from a quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson: "the invariable mark of a dream is to see it come true."
But I'm getting ahead of myself. Tomorrow I will be leaving for Aruha, Tanzania where I will be volunteering for three months starting of at a day care/orphanage for a month and then I will be doing some microfinance before moving on to Kenya where I am not exactly sure what I will be doing. I have always wanted to help in the developing field and I am looking so much forward to actually getting over their and doing it! And getting some experience before moving on to (hopefully) study International Development at a university. Though I have to tell you that it is extremely hard to apply for university during the summer, luckily I have a really cool brother who will help me while I'm away!
Hopefully we will see many more dreams than mine coming true these next five months, I can't wait!
