Here goes nothin'...

Well friends (or people reading my blog...I guess you don't technically have to be friends),
I am doing the unthinkable (and not stereotypical at all...) and setting up a blog that can hopefully keep the world (aka. my world) updated on my whereabouts and activities while I'm gone for the next 7 weeks.

What am I doing? A very good question. Here is what I know.
I am leaving on Sunday, October 25, at an unholy hour of the morning, to fly to Guatemala City, Guatemala, where I will remain for the next 7 weeks. I am fulfilling the second portion of my student teaching, the first of which was spent in Gas City, Indiana, teaching 7th grade science at RJ Baskett Middle School. While in Guatemala, I am going to be student teaching 3rd grade at the Christian Academy of Guatemala and staying with a family that sends their son to that school, something I think I could go as far as to call the opposite of my current situation. Any other details you might be wondering, I cannot tell you because then I would have to kill you...not actually...I just don't know the answer myself.

So here's to a little leap of faith, that will hopefully end up as an amazing and impacting experience both for the students and people I interact with while I'm down there and for myself as well.

Any prayers you would be willing to shoot up on my behalf are greatly appreciated, especially as I get ready to embark on this adventure.

Peace, Love and Airports,
Claire
