Ever
since I left for Ecuador last August, the idea of starting a blog has
been floating in my mind.

It has
been fear that has kept me from doing it, the discomfort of
knowing that once something is posted online, it is there
forever.
At the
same time, I thought it would be worthwhile to share my story, most
especially with loved ones, because sometimes I feel like I am better
at expressing my thoughts in writing rather than verbally.

So to you, dear reader, whoever you are, I hope you enjoy this. I am not sure if I have anything particularly interesting to share, but for some reason today just felt like the day to finally create a blog. I do hope that my thoughts and entries can be of help to someone in some way, though I am not sure how. I don't really know what route this blog will take but I suppose I just have to wait and see how things go.
Sonia, I loved getting a glimpse into your experiences in Ecuador...and into the difficult transition back to the US. :)

Thank you Prof. Abbott, I am glad you enjoyed it! :)
ReplyDeleteSoniaaaaa....Thanks for sending me the blog, I enjoyed reading it! I am glad to see the pictures of your families and express your feelings on the whole trip, its a wonderful idea to have a blog. I think you should keep posting fun experiences from every semester or part of life, this way they last forever in a sense. Although life is just a bunch of experiences, missing them and reflecting on them is not a bad idea, its human nature :)
