Expectations

Expectations, it is a word that just gets ran over in my mind for classes. I have gotten in to such a groove that I have stopped making them separate, they have all blended together. The expectations that I set for my freshman year have sat in the same place for the last three years. And honestly the only on I can remember is receive good grades. When the question of expectations came up in class I had to think hard and it got me no where. After a few days of pondering, this is what I came up with, work hard not just in class but out of class. Learn, fully, what micro-lending really is, since my major is in the medical field, and put my heart in to everything we talk about and learn about. I feel that if I give my heart in to a project or a class it makes it so much more worth while in my mind.
One of the big expectations is keeping an open mind, a lot of times we all come in with the preconceived notions and our own personal opinions, I believe it is important to look into others ideas; they in the end might enlighten you. In writing this blog, I have come to the strong conclusions that my expectations for the class and trip fall hand in hand together. I would like to think that the ones that I have laid out above will not just account for me but for everyone in the class and trip.
I am really excited for this opportunity to go to Belize and help the people there. As of right now I don’t really have any concerns or questions, but I have no doubt that they will arise as we are immersed in the class, learning about the service we will be providing as well as the culture we are getting to know.
What will I bring to the table of Team Belize… let’s see like in the elf…I just like to smile, smiling is my favorite! :-) I will bring a positive attitude, an open mind, and different ideas to share with everyone! Also I will contribute my full and complete effort of making the trip a success!
I cannot wait to work with everyone on this Team! It is going to be amazing to see everyone come together, become friends and go out and make a difference in someone’s life in Belize! I am super pumped about everything that is to come with this experience! :-)
