Xi'an, China

If you know me at all, you know that one of the main things I wanna do in life is travel and experience other cultures and religions…which is why I have decided to go volunteer for a couple months at an orphanage in Xi’an, China!!! Yep that’s right, freakin’ CHINA!!!! I have already applied and paid for the registration fee and applied for my passport so you KNOW I’m serious about this! I will finish up my Medical Assisting this year then leave on February 6, 2012! I will be saving up in that time and even if I don’t have enough money I’ll end up taking out a loan. Yeah I will have monthly payments when I get back but it will be so worth it! I’ll be living in a separate house with other volunteers from around the world and everyone does fun things on the weekends together. I’m young and now is the time to do all the things I want to do because life is short! The only reason why I wouldn’t end up going is if I got into the nursing program. I won’t find out until August but if I do get in then the program will start in January and I’ll have to do China another time. But whether I get into the nursing program next year or get to go to China, either way I’ll be on cloud 9!!
